When you realise you don't have any meat for the Balti curry you can use Squid, and it is even better!!

Around here we call it "calimari", which is Austro-Hungarian for Sea-Meat. That reminds me, has anyone seen Patches the Three Legged Mule? I miss her and hope she is ok.

i feel like this thread might need a revival *commences necromancy*
did it work..?

i just had this funny experience of meeting a japanese guy who studies saami language, of all things. of course this also means he learns norwegian. and since i also know japanese, and we both learned english too, turns out we had as much as four languages of communication to choose from. though we only used three of them, since english is too mainstream for linguaphiles

Drifting conversation. Insights of the virtues of bacon. Where does this path in the forest really go?
Do any of them have a destination, or do they just connect to other paths?
Time for another pain pill. And coffee.

Bacon is some pretty great stuff.

Bacon could be the start of a new religion, the porkfold path!

Here is the holy trinity of bacon:

Kevin, Fried, and Francis

I thought I smelled bacon!

But didn't someone forget the eggs?

Yep. The #1 topic of drifting threads is back

hey ativan!
i feel like it's been a little too long since i last had the pleasure of talking to you (my own fault though, just disappearing like that all the time)
if only i cared more for bacon, i might actually try to answer those questions. instead i think i'll ask if that's you in the pic?

Fresh mangoes, yes.
Honey roasted peanuts, sure.
Vanilla sheet cake with buttercream icing, definitely.
Even chicken alfredo with fresh garlic.

But how do burnt slabs of meat fat get classified as ambrosia of the gods?

Yep, that's me from a couple months ago. We all disapear from time to time, and we worry and hope things are OK.
We have that quality it seems, in exess of the norm.
Whether or not someone likes bacon, it is the topic of discussion, all the good and bad.
It could be something of more importance, but that would just be pushing the emotional edge into the area of the usual topics.
It is the starting place for us to talk about things in a light hearted fashion that seems to suit us as a group.
It's also a great way for others to join in, in the fun of just being and not worry about who what and where.
Seems that drifting brings out the better in us, regardless of who we are. That's the forest for yah...
Can you tell that the pain killers are working, lol?
Broke a bone in my hand plunging a toilet of all things. Yep, the Doc thought it was funny, too.
Cast comes off in a month, if the x-ray looks good. I will probably take it off sooner. Damn things.

But this thread is about drifting, and I had a discussion of where to retire, between two volcanoes in Costa Rica, or a nice tropical local in the Philipine's, on FB. I like the idea of sitting back and drinking cheap rum on the porch and watching the lava flow. 'Course, a beach with all those nearly naked people running around,... well that's another thing.
...drifting....

ag! You have brought up such delicious alternatives to the sacred cooked bacon!
Are you drifting into thoughts of culinary delight? I am, now that I am in drift mode...

looking good from behind...
i hope i didn't cause any unnecessary worry, and i'm glad to see you're... eh... maybe not too ok, but at least around

talking about drifting, i kinda drifted way off to a very different type of forum where the members seemed to be everything from robots and kittens to humanoids and tentacle monsters. it feels somewhat liberating to have a place where i can be sides of myself that would be rather awkward to express offline

I really don't like bacon. I know y'all are probably thinking, "How is that possible?" I just never liked the stuff. Then again, any meat can taste like chicken if it's prepared right.

I also am not a fan of New York isolationist culture. I went on a train for the first time in a year today, and I saw that people still just sit on the train silent. It's as though they think any contact with strangers would lead to bad situations. Honestly, it's weird because if you think about it, every single one of your friends had to have been a stranger to you at some point. Even your parents were strangers to you once. Bottom line, I like talking to strangers in random places like the dental waiting room or train (especially because they can't just walk away from the "creepy person" since they have nowhere to go). It's fun to just have an engaging conversation with a complete stranger.

Hey, talking to me would be better than just sitting around doing nothing. At least that way, you would be able to be stimulated//entertained during your ride to work so you don't come in looking like a zombie...

By the way, your avatar picture is creepy.
