Dreams and mayonnaise

[sabotabby]

I was playing around in Google Maps, looking at my neighbourhood. I zoomed in. You could see the street view in photos, except instead of lush, tree-lined streets, there was a desert wasteland. Dust blew across pieces of debris and human skulls.

I rushed to the window to look outside, and then I woke up.

On another note, why is there flavoured mayonnaise? It's bad enough that there's regular mayonnaise; flavoured mayonnaise just makes me even more misanthropic. Still, I managed to work it into a story I'm writing.

dude. Please don't make my love for you vanish.

Horseradish mayo is da BOMB!

[sabotabby]

BAD VEGAN.

Mayonnaise is on the list of things I don't believe in, along with shorts, sandals and Dick Cheney's soul.

[sabotabby]

Right on. Incidentally, do you have a good alternative for sandals? I hate them but I'm forced to wear them when the weather gets this hot.

[shelestel.livejournal.com]

WTF? Did you people grow up in cold countries or something? What is this misosandaly? Shorts are way more authentic than pants.

[sabotabby]

Shorts suck. No one wants to see my hairy manhating feminist legs.

[shelestel.livejournal.com]

I know, that totally does suck. People don't realize just how unnatural shaved legs are. If they only paused for a moment...

[bike4fish.livejournal.com]

Their loss.

Mayhap there's a reason why I like living in a town where markers like hair length, muscle tone, and leg fur (or lack thereof) are not particularly useful predictors of someone's sex or gender.

Of course, if it's over 10C, it's shorts and sandals weather here.

I pretty much wear combat boots year round, though when camping, on qa beach etc. I wear rubber-soled tabi.

I like Keen shoes. Technically some could be called sandals, but they are waterproof shoes that fit and look better than tevas ever did. I wore them climbing pyramids even.

I sometimes go barefoot when it's really too hot for boots, though this may not be practical for everyone.

*quietly pro-mayonnaise* (I mean c'mon...on french fries, as I understand the Belgians in their wisdom eat it? Very delicious.)

[sabotabby]

The Bad Ex used to do that. It was gross.

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

EWWWW my husband STILL does that. I am informed it is a Midwest thing.

not just the belgians but also the dutch, french, germans, swiss, some brits, and other such monsters.

[marnanel.livejournal.com]

I have never met a Brit who does this.

signed marnanel, a brit.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

i've only known a couple who did, and i've always felt that the main reason they did it was to come across as more 'continental.'

[marnanel.livejournal.com]

did they also call a McD quarter pounder a Royale with Cheese? :)

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

i have absolutely no idea.

[marnanel.livejournal.com]

Flat reference falls flat.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

i caught the reference after i replied.
(to be honest, i'm not big on tarantino so that's probably why i missed it.)

[neeuqdrazil.livejournal.com]

I am also pro-mayo, particularly on french fries.

I'm sorry, Sabs. I will understand if you feel that you can never speak to me again.

[sadie-sabot.livejournal.com]

not a big fan of mayonnaise, but that ad is kinda sweet. one more small step toward a non homophobic culture....

[sabotabby]

I didn't watch the ad. I was grossed out by the idea of flavoured mayonnaise. I'm sure it's very sweet but I don't want to think about mayonnaise.

[lizw.livejournal.com]

Sadly, the ad has been pulled because some homophobes complained. See this post for suggestions on how to complain about this.

[marsianer.livejournal.com]

What about homemade Aioli? I guess that's technically flavored mayonnaise - unless of course one prefers the eggless kind.

Also, pommes frites absolutely need mayonnaise. Peanut sauce just doesn't cut it and putting tomato sauce on them is simply heresy.

[bike4fish.livejournal.com]

Mayo with curry powder is great, either for dipping artichokes, or on top of rutabaga.

Otherwise, I can take or leave it.

[marnanel.livejournal.com]

I really thought from the first few sentences that your dream was going to involve zooming in and discovering your neighbourhood was dripping with mayonnaise. Eugh.
