I think we’ll have deviled eggs for supper. I boiled a dozen eggs earlier today, and 2 of them exploded in the pan making a gawd-awful mess. So I’ll have 10 to slice and re-stuff. Yum! Off to the kitchen with me! ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Did the cause involve chickens or too many stops at XXX-Burgers? 😛 Actually, my sophomore at PU was marked by my misconception that _Animal House_ was a documentary. I never did patronize the XXX, I was much more a Harry’s Chocolate Shop person, whenever I could get past the door bouncer, that is. Harry’s CS did not sell any chocolate, FWIW. ---

I am unfamiliar with Harry’s Chocolate Shop, but had I visited, I’d have been crushed and disappointed. Being, for the most part, 5 years older than the majority of my classmates, I didn’t socialize pretty much at all when I was at Purdue. In fact, the most active part of my social life was babysitting for fellow Navy students while they went out and had fun. \*\*BBBobbio \*\*- you didn’t by chance live in Cary Quad, did you? Eggs are deviled. Dunno what I’ll do for sides, since the entree is usually an appetizer. Too bad I don’t have salad fixin’s. Oh well, we’ll figger something out. ---

Woke up and it’s freaking SUNNY. Arrgghhh, I don’t want sun. I live in Arizona, we get sun all the time. Me, I live for rainy days. I want to wake up with it dark and overcast and drizzling sometime. I don’t think I have for a few months or years. ---

Howdy from da cave! I did not stop at the sto’ to get a rotissed chikin. OYKW called me before I left irk to say he wasn’t hongry and didn’t know if he would be so not to go out of the way to make foodstuff unless I wanted to eat. Truth is, I’m not really hongry either, so any ingestion of victuals tonight shall be of the forage da fridge type if so desired. On the plus side, he is spendin’ the night. YAY! **Thoughtless** I take it then that _It was a dark and stormy night_ is more of a fantasy for you than a cheesy first sentence in a bad novel. 😃 ---

GC also invited me to leave because I refused to go to Chapel, AND had the gall to also publicly challenged their pacifistic doctrine. Yeah I was a wild-eyed conservative gadfly even in my youth. What made it even worse was my grandfather was well loved as the school electrician, but had passed on by the time I went. That’s funny. One of my sisters was a liberal hippie type at GC but became the family’s only Republican once she got all yuppified. 😛 ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Tom Hatten, probably, on the Popeye show on KTLA. > > Triangulating from your description, am I correct in placing you in the South Bay, possibly on the Palos Verdes Peninsula? That sounds very possible. Thanks. Now I can look him up. His [wiki article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hatten) says he was dressed as a sailor, which I don’t remember particularly. Although [this](http://www.tvparty.com/lostpopeye1.html) looks familiar. Yeah, I think you’ve nailed it. We were definitely in the South Bay, but down the hill in Lomita. It’s not quite two square miles, so it’s easy to miss. ---

All I’d need then is a warm fireplace to do it in front of on a chilly night. Er..not that we get any of THOSE in Arizona, since we don’t even get **any STINKIN’ RAIN** , but the thought is there in my mind. Or maybe I’ve been watching too many movies and reading too many stories and have too much of a “storybook picturesque” of it in my mind. ---

[QUOTE=carnivorousplant] Dishwasher Stew ain’t in it. [/QUOTE] Do I even want to know what that is? I’m fearing it’s similar to an evil brew created by the bubble dancers at the tea shop - when the teapots are washed, they get a dunk in water, swirled a bit and the old tea leaves are dumped out into a bucket. Unfinished cups of tea also get dumped in this, so it doesn’t take long for an unholy mix of Earl Grey, orange spice, rooibois, PG Tips, and cocoa to accumulate. :eek: ---
