Brain rot (and I feel fine)
I like to watch TV. Whether it is a DVD or something on network programming, the TV is usually on every night in this household. I feel no shame in admitting that because people who say they do not watch or do not like TV are usually lying. Or high. I know because I’ve caught them in their vast web of TV viewing deceit. The way I see it is this: if you own a properly working television, there is a good chance that you turn it on every once and awhile - and there is even a better chance that you like it!
I have found myself “talking” to the TV lately, mostly to commercials. The following provoke the most dialog/ head scratches from yours truly. I guess they did their job.
“People, HPV is sexually transmitted!”
[This is not to say that you shouldn’t get yourself checked out, I‘m just sick and tired of companies (especially drug companies) misinforming or withholding information to scare folks into seeking treatment.]
“Why would anyone eat THAT?!?!”
[Referring to KFC‘s Mashed Potato Bowl. I'm guity of some pretty interesting concoctions, but you don’t mix gravy with cheese! (Even the actors look grossed out.)]
“What is Café Latte, in French?” Now I know I only took 1 year of the language, but I am pretty sure that "Café Latte" does not mean “Good Morning.”
[McDonalds commercial showing off their new line of Fancy Schmancy coffee drinks.]
“I’m Brian roast beef!”
[I say this while watching any Arby’s commercial. Especially the one where the guy wallpapers his cat to the wall - classic!]
“Secreeeeet Lovers...”
[T-mobile commercial where the guy finds out that his girlfriend is his best friend’s number 5. I’m not sure what all of that even means, I just really like to sing along. It made me want “Secret Lovers“ by Atlantic Starr as my ringtone, real bad!]

Chris totally bought the KFC bowl last week. It was predictably revolting.

but what about poutine?
i am in no way endorsing this atrocity of food stuffs - but i know a great many who do (not to name any names ... c and the reeds ... ahem!).

You can order British chips (i.e. fries) at the Old Toad with gravy and melted cheese. I see no reason why those two shouldn't mix.

S: ah-ha proof!
A: i'm not an advocate for the poutine. i'm anti poutine.
while gravy and cheese combinations may seem like a tasty idea in some cases... the "after effects" simply do not seem to make it worthwhile - at least for me.
K: yeah, i know... and it is artery/intestine-clogging-gross (and i can say that b/c i've ordered it ;-).

mmmmmmmmmm gravy and cheese. I would like that topped with a pat of creamy butter.

M: i guess "a pat" is better than "a vat."
mmmmmm vat-o-butter.

I totally agree with you -- that Bowl thing is disgusting and I am not stranger to rich, fatty foods!
