Just back from London after seeing Lee Evans live at the O2 arena last night. It was spectacular ☺

My baby daughter making me in to a better person without even knowing it.
Find that i am much more helpful towards other persons now then i was before.
They may cut your dick in half
And serve it to a pig
And though it hurts, you'll laugh
And dance a dickless jig

Probably both.
But if you're still excited even after buying it, you made a good choice.


Good thing we've got post-purchase rationalization.

By biscuits do you mean Yorkshire puddings?
Otherwise that sentence scares me a little bit.

You've never heard of biscuits and gravy? O_o Exactly as it sounds, and damn good to boot.

It's not white or brown gravy like you're thinking for Sunday dinner.


It's sausage gravy. Pretty thick and seasoned with pepper. And the biscuits are different also, thick biscuits.


They're pretty damn fantastic.

They don't mean cookies when they say biscuits :)

I'd say it's a cross between a savoury scone and an english muffin but I'd probably be wrong. That's the general idea though.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Well......
That's not a biscuit.
That's going nowhere near my cup of tea!!

Let's get back to reality.

I am, therefore I'm owned.

By the way, I was not actually hinting at existentialism, just at what you may call the "choice-supportive bias". (Wikipedia: "In cognitive science, choice-supportive bias is the tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected. It is a cognitive bias. For example, if a person buys a computer from Apple instead of a computer (PC) running Windows, he is likely to ignore or downplay the faults of Apple computers while amplifying those of Windows computers. Conversely, he is also likely to notice and amplify advantages of Apple computers and not notice or de-emphasize those of Windows computers.")
