And it’s funny you should mention Father Ted cause I was blogging about Eurovision a couple of weeks ago and posted that clip from when they write “My Lovely Horse.”

Why can’t I think of more….? Black Books!! It’s alright but Bill Bailey is awesome and Dylan Moran is a genius so they make it. You’ve probably seen all these things.

And Father Ted. It’s Irish but it aired on British television.

Mandy, I don’t see why limbless torsos should be so very scary. Really. I’ll strap you to a skateboard and recreate that whole scene, if you’d like.

I appreciate your efficiency in making sausage and beer, Uncle Scarybeard, esp. when you share it with me. Oh! That reminds me; I meant to tell you this last night - I tried Ice Cider the other night. I got it (as well as Ice Wine) from Calgary. It’s . . . interesting. I think you should try to make some. It’s got, like, 20% alcohol by volume, too, which makes it V. Efficient at getting me plastered.

I like your point on how our ancestors came over here and we spend all of our time thinking about going back. I’ve thought about that before. I love being German. I mean everything about it from sausage to efficiency to efficient ways of making sausage to beer. I’ve always wanted to live there. What would my family of eight farmers who scraped together their savings to travel to America for a chance at a better life say to me wanting to move back? Maybe they did achieve a better life for their family and because of that I have the power to go back if I really wanted to. They would probably agree with me if they knew the state of the government in this country.

I will have to agree with you on the Shack Taco being one of my all time favorite things in Austin. Except the sans egg part. I know you and Henri don’t like eggs in your tacos but then aren’t they just tacos? Just because you eat them at breakfast doesn’t make them breakfast tacos. Otherwise I would eat breakfast fried chicken or breakfast spaghetti all the time.

Just let me say that I would be honored to be in your Ocean’s 11 crew. Feel free to use me for weaponry, craft services, or booze hound. Take your pick. And I like the part about M’elle distracting security. Perfect. Something about that child makes you want to have a conversation with her. Maybe it’s because she won’t really talk to me. Poor Uncle Scarybeard just wants to know if they quality of fingerpaints have improved since my days.

Moody, it sucks that parallel you and parallel me discovered this about each other early on, but trust me, within a week, parallel me would have stopped calling parallel you because parallel me hates commitment. So it’s probably for the best, all around.

Thanks for the chance to talk about myself, Sarah and Mere!

I am glad to find another person with a serious cheese habit. I LOVE cheese.
