Now we are (thirty-) five...
A group of friends and I got together at a restaurant on a Thursday night to celebrate the Lizard's birthday.
Due to circumstances that are beyond my ability to explain, the party was highlighted by:
A group of friends and I got together at a restaurant on a Thursday night to celebrate the Lizard's birthday.
Due to circumstances that are beyond my ability to explain, the party was highlighted by:
- Me quote singing unquote "When I Fall in Love", a song which I know and can sing decently a cappella, but cannot sing decently when accompanied by the world's slowest karaoke machine.
- Other members of the party quote singing unquote "I Will Survive", "What's Up?", "Pretty Woman", "Desperado", and another song that no one had ever heard of and that also lasted 20 minutes, I swear.
- A lengthy bout of group sexual harassment perpetrated by an old man singing a song that had only the lyrics "Stay and let me love you..." (He was going home with one of us, be it male or female, or die trying).
- A man, and I am NOT MAKING THIS UP, wearing chartreuse velvet pleated pants, a coordinating chartreuse velvet bedazzled vest, a black shirt, and a black leather beanie who started off quote singing unquote "Word Up!" but then made all of us sing so he could pop, spin, and breakdance in the middle of the restaurant, with the server stepping over him to deliver food and drinks.

Sushi Casserole
This year my top pick for 4th of July holiday dishes is Sushi Casserole. Sushi Casserole is more of a concept than a specific recipe—a concept whose time has come. It can also be called Sushi Lasagna, the seaweed replacing pasta (and rice replacing cheese).
Fusion recipes are a great way to honor the melting pot spirit of diversity in our fine country. Sushi casserole combines a traditional American-style dish with the exotic flavors of Japan, along with undertones of Italy. If old Aunt Petunia won’t touch sushi, she'll have no idea what she just ate until after it's gone, and by then she'll have forgotten about it.
Sushi casserole takes less skill and time to put together than the traditional California roll, ideal for busy Americans who have little time and even fewer skills to speak of. Folks from some parts of America may downright refuse to eat a “California roll” since they don’t live in California, and may not support “alternative lifestyles,” nudists, or hot tubs.
To create a Sushi Casserole, simply follow a basic recipe for rolled sushi. Instead of rolling, layer the ingredients in a casserole dish. For presentation cut casserole into small squares and spear with red, white and blue ornamented toothpicks. It is sure to be the star of any buffet.

My brother is awesome, part 2
Another email:
"...Pizza Hut is now delivering chocolate chip cookies with their pizzas.
They say in times of war, the enemies try to infiltrate the water system. This is the same thing. Our enemies are attempting to give the entire nation heart disease, and when we are too sick as a nation to resist, they plan to take over the country.
There is no American government. There is only Halliburton and Pizza Hut."

I just got this email from him:
(edited for brevity)
"Have you seen this Pizza Hut product called the P'zone?...one pound of cheese and meat...to be eaten at one sitting, apparently...I'm thinking of buying stock in both Pizza Hut and a medical supply company that specializes in coronary disease medical supplies."
