Luke, is boudin always really spicy? I'm thinking that may be why I've never tried it... can't handle spicy food. I'm a wuss that way.
And Rocky, it's a grand tradition, you should definitely do that tonight. Bunch of us here order in from this great little place nearby and then sit in the boardroom and shoot the shit while we pig out. The tradition has sort of fallen by the wayside lately, but we're trying to start it up again. So good.
I think Thai food is really one of my favourite things in life. I wish I could somehow incorporate Thai food, ice-cold beer, hockey and incredible sex into one activity. That would be life-alteringly great.

Woah. Thai Food Friday. What elegantly simple briliance.
I'm getting dinner with a boy tonight. I have no idea what's going on there, but whatever is going on, I will suggest thai food.
I'm hugely fond of pho as well, but one thing kinda killed pho for me - there was this little hole-in-the-wall pan-asian vegetarian place in oakland that served this soup that wasn't technically pho - it was just their own soup concoction - that was seriously the most orgasmic soup on earth (there's no other adjective that does it justice). It was so unbelievably fantastic that it ruined practically all other soup for me, especially all other asian soup. I'll eat pho and I'll be like "yeah, but...."
However I do have high hopes for the pho around here. There's a street in midtown called Cleveland St known for the high concentration of Vietnamese restaurants because there are a lot of Vietnamese refugees in Memphis, oddly enough. And I've heard some of them are legendary for their pho. I don't know if it can possibly live up to the banally-named Golden Lotus in Oakland, but I will try and see.
Right now I love my work schedule. I don't have to teach on Fridays or Tuesdays, and since Monday is labor day, that means I'm in the midst of a five-day weekend! Woot!
Cheers,
M

Though I'm presuming you're talking about watching hockey. Cause if you're talking about somehow combining playing hockey and sex, then I'm scared of you.

Well.... Memphis pho can't possibly be any scarier than Denver pho. Good luck with it!
Dammit, it's 9 in the morning and I want pho BAD.

Or maybe I did, long ago, and this just subconsciously means I'd like to have sex with George Costanza.  But really, who wouldn't want to do all those things at once? I mean really. And I was thinking watching hockey, but playing hockey (ahem, road hockey, since I don't skate well) might make that whole scenario even more interesting. Hmmm... |

Not all boudin is that spicy, but I eat cayenne or chili powder on about 85% of everything I consume, so it could just be me. I've had some really spicy boudin, some not so spicy boudin. I've never seen it packaged, only made at groceries and meat markets, so I dunno how you'd differentiate. But basically, it's just rice dressing in a sausage wrap. |

Yeah there's a great Seinfeld episode where George realizes that his three joys in life are sex, eating, and TV, so he attempts to combine all three and his girlfriend catches him sneaking bites of a hamburger in bed right after they have sex and she's like - wtf are you doing!!! It was funny.
I'm down with the thai food and the amazing sex, but I don't like any sport enough to have it be part of my all-time fantasy. The key third element for me would have to be a particular piece of music or possibly a particular film. But I gotta think more on that....

Oh yeah and I hate to be the village pothead but I'd probably replace the ice-cold beer with some great weed.

Replace Thai food with Chinese food Ice-cold beer with warm Saké and hockey with (actual) skiing, keep the incredible sex just where it is ... Been there - Done that in the course of one evening from 6 PM to 10 PM ... !! |
