And I was just informed the lovely place in which my orifice is located is closin’ at two p.m. I am bein’ forced, _FORCED_ I say, to leave early. Woe is me. 😃 ---

Did I miss something about french toast, other than that it’s, you know, french toast? No french toast for breakfast. Leftover bratwurst and broccoli. It seemed like a good idea at the time. No side effects, yet. I’m stifling an M&M peanuts craving. It may not last, though. We’ll see. ---

In context, I assume French Toast is the breakfast made by people who have suddenly been granted time to do so (due to foul weather). ---

I thought a French toast day meant powdered sugar was falling from the sky. I got my ass out of bed in 15 BELOW ZERO weather and came to work. However, I will be leaving early because I can. ---

> [@2gigch1](#): > > In context, I assume French Toast is the breakfast made by people who have suddenly been granted time to do so (due to foul weather). It’s because people hoade milk and bread when it snows. What else can you do with it? Speaking of which, the store had to get special orders of both to restock . ---

What **doggio** said. Also aigs. People hoarde aigs. Ya got bread. Ya got milk. Ya got aigs. French Toast! Thus winter weather advisories/warnings become French Toast advisories/warnings. We are a creative bunch, we mumpers are. Leavin’ irk now. ---

> [@2gigch1](#): > > Seriously, do a little prep for ice if you are expecting it… Hear that **Swampy** ; it means that you better go out & get some extra TP! :dubious: French toast is cause when there’s a storm a comin’ people go to the supermarket & stock up on [del]TP[/del] bread, milk & eggs aka french toast fixins. I had one irk call run long, so I joined the next one late & therefore no one knew I was on it. The person running the call gave me major kudos to the big audience on the call. 🆒 I’m being a bad civic-minded person. I’m irking from home today & there was a **urgent news bulletin** last night that we should not use household appliances, like dishwashers & such during the day because it’s only 16° out & all the extra 'lectricity is going to run the various heaters. I’m doing laundry around irk calls. :o ---

I’m safe and sound in da cave. I stopped by the sto’ to get some hot dawgs, buns and a bag of coleslaw mix. Get over it. I’m lazy and didn’t want to make it myself. Sto’ was surprisingly empty of folks. I have decided that dindin shall be chili/cheese/onion/slaw dawgs. Fart fest to commence soon afterward. 😃 > [@rosie](#): > > I had to share my leftover chicken with mooch-cat. It’s done and she’s still staring at me. Apparently you need to go make more chikin.

It’s been snowing all day up here in the high country. We’re up to an inch and a half. Have I mentioned that I have to drive in this at @#$ o’clock tomorrow morning? It had better stay snow. Polly Subaru can handle that type of precipitation. ---
