You know that feeling you get when your missus asks if you'd run down to the DIY place and pick her up a small tin of brash polish, so you go but when you get there you completely zone out and have a moment of shock at the checkout when you realize it's two and a half hours later and the clerk has just said, 'That'll be $873.40, please'?

I do.

I hear tell that there is or was a brothel called the "Chicken Ranch" in Nevada, USA. Not going to do the research.

On the subject of food



This is obviously a very old proverb, back from the times when one fish was enough to feed a man for the whole day. I mean how dietary needs changed over the centuries.

My two favourite versions:

'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Don't teach a man to fish and you feed yourself. He's a grown man - fishing's not that hard.' - Ron Swanson

'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer for the rest of his life.' Anon.

Give a man a fish then light him on fire and he'll be well fed and warm for the rest of his life.

It is a source of great personal pride that I not only remembered to get the brass polish, I also got the brand she asked for.

How awesome am I?

When a bro of mine and I went to see H2G2 opening day in the theater - we had our towels.....

A few other froods did as well - and we gave each other a smile and a nod.....


The theater staff was mystified....

I love toast. Toast is so good I think some historical foundation should track down the first person who took a bite of bread and said, 'Cook it again' and name a day after them.

I bought shakers of cinnamon and brown sugar to make cinnamon toast. I need more spreadable butter, though.
