@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

Doc, I left you on your parents' door stop.  I am glad they made a good life for you.

Does it come back when you're really stressed out? I studied Spanish for 3 years in high school. I had a very good accent through extensive practice (my teacher asked me if my folks spoke Spanish at home, and I replied that no, we're Sicilian). However, whenever I got really tired or really angry or whatever, it would get shot to shit and I would just be speaking pissed-off-gringa.

Yes, it does - sorta.  A lot of what "says Australian" to most people is the slang and so forth.  Since I went to a prep school in the suburbs of Sydney, I never had a chance to pick up much of that, save what I learned from my mates' older brothers.  Also, when I yell loudly (either in anger or to be heard at a distance).

That's one of the things we talked about in that class I taught. If people's accents have changed, they often revert at least partially to their childhood accent in emotional situations. 

Let's go to jaydub's house and tease him till he gets really mad and see what happens...

If a girl teased me, I'd probably cry.

HEE! Smells, that is like the third tiny can you've gotten from me today. You're awesome.

There, there son.  Now just put down that Vegemite and pick up the Poutine and everything will be fine.

No, no, eating poutine is an act of absolute freedom.  It is like saying to the world and your own digestive track that you don't give a fuck and that you don't care who knows it.  If the levels of sodium related to mixing Vegemite and poutine together weren't scientifically proven to be toxic we could start with combining both then slowly ween you off the Vegemite, but that would be a dangerous road to go down.  Then again, the poutine itself will slowly kill you... but isn't that what all mothers do?  Slowly kill their children?  Smother them with love or gravy and cheese curds?  No?  Oh, well that explains the abandonment.  Maybe it's for the best... Let's just forget I said anything.

smells, that description of poutine scares the hell out of me. Kellichou informs me that I'm insane and "no wombie of hers" because I hate gravy. However... if I ever go to Canadia, I will try one bite of Poutine for your sake as I pour out a 40 for my coronary arteries.

My best friend and I have a special code.  We were talking about how she's trying to make a baby right now, and pondering what food she will crave.  Naturally I suggested poutine, and she agreed.  It was the main food we would get post-bar in our younger days.  So the code is, one day, she will call me up and tell me that I have to take her out for some poutine, and that will be her way of tell me she's gotten knocked up.  I'm the only person other than her husband who will know before the three month mark.  So poutine does have a special place in my heart... and also in the arterial plaque around it.

Oh my Ghod, I've wanted to hear try Poutine every since I learned what it was.  It sounds DELICIOUS!  "It was a delicious death, Brak," I would murmur, patting my stomach, after puttin' away some tasty poutine.  I seriously don't understand why Linnea hates gravy, gravy is awesome.  And hot frites with squeaky-fresh cheddar curds, topped with gravy--what a way to go!

At least the worst vegemite can do to you is cause unreasonably rosey cheeks.

Yes, but can you make it into a sandwich?

Good poutine makes its own damn sammich.

Well, when you're buying bread from a man in Kitchener, you let me know how that works for you.

Can for Brak omelet reference.  Also Linnea should note that I don't like gravy on my fries, but I'll take it on my poutine without batting an eye.

Yes, mostly it mutters "you're going to regret this.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon - and for the rest of your life."  This warning is surprisingly easy to ignore.  Especially if the cheese is so melty you stretch it out in strings that lead from the plate to your mouth.

I am now forced to segue into a conversation about the famed British chip butty?  Clearly a gravy chip butty already exists, and being a British pub staple, I highly doubt that no one has added some cheese to the mix... though it is not called a poutine butty, I'm sure poutine does exist in sandwich form under another name on a menu here or there in the UK.
