I lust after teenage girls. Mind you, that’s _ALL_ I do. I don’t put a move on them of any kind, but I have nice daydreams. I guess that officially makes me a pre-vert, or something. ---

> [@Ace309](#): > > Chicken-fried steak with milk gravy. Is my husband a big liar? He says that chicken-fried steak has chicken gravy and country-fried steak has milk gravy. He lectures me when I point out the wrong one! Guilty pleasures: Stirring yellow cake mix into vanilla ice cream. Chinese buffets. (My food guilty pleasures are rarely catered to, which sucks.) Sleeping in. I never admit in public how late I often sleep on Sundays. ---

single malt scotch, good beer, McDonalds breakfast bagel sandwiches, City of Heroes and explosions of any sort: Fireworks, guns, real explosives, what have you. Damn, I really liked that part of being an engineer in the army. ---

I never admit in public how late I often sleep on Sundays. I lived in the Southern U.S. for several years. Tell your husband that chicken-fried and country fried steak are the same thing, made with milk gravy (preferably with lotsa cracked black pepper). As far as my giulty pleasure–downloading and listening to cheesy AM radio hits from the 60’s and 70’s. I loved the scene in “Tommy Boy” when Chris Farley and David Spade sing along to “Eres Tu” by Mocedades! ---

Hey, all I know is that when I make it, it’s the same way I make fried chicken, and I make milk gravy. He can sort out the rest. 😃 ---
