I ate so much at dinner that I think I am going to be sick.

What did you have?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Filet Mignon with mashed potatos, a salad and cheesecake.

It was a work thing and I always eat too much at these things because it is so good.

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

You'll just have to skip the salad next time.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

No! The salad is so good. They have this great dressing on it and it is perfectly balanced.

Um... food...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Damnit, you stole my joke!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It would have been funnier from you. :P

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

LOL! I saw vegetarian on sterlingphoenix's profile. That would have been funnier!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Funnier still is that I really don't like mashed potatoes.

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

That statement can you killed in our house.

While rangerslady and I were dating, I quickly learned that the mashed potato was a family favorite of this group I would marry into. The mashed potato can do no wrong in this house. But woe to he who under cooks the potato.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I don't normally like mashed potatoes but these ones were very good.

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

Were they garlic mashed? I love garlic mashed!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yes. that is what made them good.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I loooove potatoes in almost any form, except mashed! I don't really know why. While we're at it, I don't like apple pie, either (;

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's a texture thing.

You don't like apple pie? You commie! :p

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I keep having to remind people I was not born in the US (:

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I don't like apple pie either and I have always lived here. :P

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

You know that's one of the questions on the citizenship test, right?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I guess I wouldn't pass that one!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

It's ok, I got like 6 questions wrong. Stupid Francis Scott Key...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

what was the question?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

The ones I remember missing were who wrote the star spangled banner (which I /knew/ they'd ask and I /knew/ I'd forget and now is etched into my memory!) and what is the term limit for, uh. Either a senator or a congressman, I forget, and I know one's 6 terms and one's unlimited, and I don't know which is which!

Oh and "Do you like apple pie".

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Neither of them have term limits.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

one of them has SOMEthing that has the number 6 in it. (;

[bertine.livejournal.com]

senators term is 6 years. congress has a term of 2 years. :P

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ok, that was it then. I said "Aaaaah one is 2 years and one is 6 and I don't remember which is which!"

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

I didn't see that in your bio and I really don't know you except for this LJ exchange. So I call shenanigans on your use of the word "remind." :p

So...Where are you from?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well I meant remind in general, not specifically you (:

I'm from Israel. where you from? (:

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

St. Paul, MN. Just head down Rice Street from Shoreview there and when you hit Maryland, you have my home stomping grounds.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Wow, we're practically neighbours (I'm practically on Rice. Well, Hodgeson, but that's kinda Rice).

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

We used to be...I live "way down" in Inver Grove Heights now. But I'll always be a Northender at heart.

My sister-in-law grew up just off of Hodgeson and Bridge. So I know that are pretty well.

I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

Great minds think alike. I was just quicker this time. You have beaten me to the punch on several occasions.

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Hah! Now we must kung-fu fight! *dragon-stance*

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

*places hands together with one hand covering closed fist* I accept your challenge *Crane Beak spreads It's Wings-stance*

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

You're trying a crane-beak after seeing my usericon?

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

I'm bold. What else can I say?

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ah, air-split stance. (;

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

OK, you win. But only because I have homework to do.

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ah, homework. I haven't done homework in like 20 years.

And I haven't gone to school in like 15 years.

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

Even with 13 years of OTJ computer experience in hardware and network administration, I found that I can not get the good jobs without a degree. So back to college I go. YEAH!

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

You know, that's funny. I've pretty much got the same kind of experience... and nobody's ever asked me for a degree.

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

Well, when I pressed HR people, that's what I got as an answer.

Re: I am a joke ninja...

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying I'm not exceedingly lucky (; But when I've asked why I was turned down for positions, nobody ever said anything about a degree.

[elphabachan.livejournal.com]

I hate that feeling.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I am still full today!

[monkeytonic.livejournal.com]

I hope you didn't get sick. I hate that feeling of exploding stomach.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I do too. It was just so good that I didn't think.

[absenthine.livejournal.com]

Oh! I hate that. Go for a nice, long walk. You'll feel like barfing for the first 10 minutes, then the exercise will make you feel better (and help with digestion) ♥
