Post-Holiday Feast

This weekend we trekked to Ann Arbor for our annual (post) holiday get-together with friends Megan and Guy. Because I am lazy, I cross-reference you to Megan's blog -- http://toaster.albertelli.com:85/weblog/ -- for an explaination of our happy tradition. Her blog also contains the wonderfully absurd breakfast hat. Worth a peak for your daily allowance of giggles.

At this year's weekend feast, we learned the following things:

1. Tasty ribs + tasty baked beans + tasty coleslaw + tasty orange and chocolate soufle + tasty red wine by Tony's standards, thought not anyone else's + more tasty ribs = worst morning breath ever.

2. Sushi is not for Tony. More specifically, Sushi most generally requires seaweed, which is not for Tony. Sushi makers also seem overly fond of cucumbers and avacado, which doesn't help.

3. The Internet is for Porn. (This is (I believe the title of) a song from the musical production (the name of which I believe is) "Avenue Q". Hilarious at first, this song bores right into your skull and remains hilarious, though annoyingly so.

4. Forget steamy temptresses - the real threat for a man to leave the bed of his wife is a down-filled couch.

5. Guy likes burning stuff. (In this case, not the food, but the 10 DVDs we came home with).

6. Guy won the weekend. (As he observed upon noting that he won every game we played - 3 rounds of Blokus, 1 round of Rumis, (both of which I highly recommend), and 1 round of One False Step for Mankind (which I recommend if you possess a long gaming attention span).
