...watch a feature called "24 Hours with a Hunky Cop" on NHK News. Would it have been a good thing if some native speaker of English had talked them out of this title or do I have a dirty mind?

[pmcd9]

the shit-pipe, whatever that's actually called.)

I think that is called a pipe.  Or perhaps a drain pipe.

[Doc]

Crackers, that title almost writes its own script.

And most of it is "oh" "yes" and miscellaneous grunting.

He doesn't have a cell phone, there was no fun.  No fun at all.  In fact, my husband called from the road, and the truck he was driving first blew a tire, then the engine died.  As he and his co-worker had nothing else to do while waiting on the side of the road for their boss to come rescue them (more than an hour out of town), they opened and drank nearly an entire bottle of rum. 

When he and I were finally reunited, he was so intoxicated that I was basically disinterested in his sloppy drunken attention, and he was too blitzed to even sort of understand the situation.  This marks probably only the 3 or 4th time in our 8 1/2 yr relationship where I've seen him trashed, but let me tell you I was super displeased and unaroused with this loud, chatty, annoying, stumbly version of my guy.

Ugh, sorry, smells. That is lame as the dickens.

Here's to making up for it tonight.

...spend an hour reading a book in a waiting room full of screaming germy children at the urgent care clinic. The tragedy is, what was I thinking? I could have been in the treatment room watching the Technical Staff get his scalp stapled shut.

[jaydub]

Curious minds want to know what you did to him.

[wombat]

Heh. No, he didn't need any help, actually.

[wombat]

I didn't miss that part, at least. I got a quite good look at it and said "eeeuw" and told him he needed to go to a doctor. I think he was inclined to go around with his head gaping open because he was afraid they'd tell him he had to skip washing his hair for a while.

[Doc]

The alternative being applying shampoo to his gaping head flap?
You'd want to have the no more tears formulation for that business.

[wombat]

Right.

It's only fair to say that he couldn't get a good look at the wound, and once I did, he went along without arguing. I don't know how you're supposed to decide whether something needs stiches, but I was sure that if the same thing had happened to one of the dogs I'd be headed to the vet immediately, so it seemed only proper.

[jaydub]

I'll be that smelled spectacular.  Sulfur and sodium nitrate.  Fire n'brimstone.

[Choop]

to be honest i'd like to cut my meat intake down to three or four times a week, but this gluten-free diet the missus is on is making that pretty difficult.

and tonight is ribeyes on the grill. maybe some broccoli, if i'm lucky. i gotta make that duck-fat-roasted cauliflower again soon. good job she picked up a whole roast duck at the asian market

...realize I haven't eaten meat in like three days

What an odd coincidence.  I'm on my third day today too, although it's pretty much intentional.

For someone reason "giraffe will do" comment reminded me of a recent visit to 7-11 for fried chicken.  My husband ordered a bucket, then asked "can you make it all dark meat?"  The dude, who clearly wasn't the best English speaker replied "Dark meat?  No.  Only white or red."    My husband was confused and asked for dark meat again, which the guy replied "no dark.  Red."  I jumped in and replied "okay, can we get all red meat?"  to which he replied, uncertainly "Noooo....."  So I said "how about mostly red meat?"  To which he replied - "Yeah, mostly red, some white."  "Okay."

I mentioned to my husband as I sat down to eat "wouldn't I look the fool if I open the bucket to find a bunch of breaded steak instead of chicken?" but then we both agreed that would be delicious.  The bucket was about 50% dark meat, so I'm not really sure what went down in the dude's mind...  Back when I worked at KFC we always had more dark meat than white, and were more than happy to give away an all dark meat bucket.
