Omnivore's Hundred

OK, so I'm kind of a half-assed omnivore, but I am a pretty adventurous eater within my chosen parameters so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Here's how the game works:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

From Sandy...

Nom nom nom!

Spore!

DJ got me to download the Spore Creature Creator trial last night. He has created a monster that...creates monsters.

I may just have to break down and buy the full version so that I am less limited in my flights of dancing creature fantasy.

Even lava is limited to 3oz. bottles...

sandy: but good news

WATER ON MARS

me: awesome

want to go in on a beach house up there?

sandy: let the mass exodus begin.

yeah dude

me: i hear it's alittle chilly

not the best for sunbathing

sandy: we can bring lava?

me: possibly

unless the TSA is in charge of space travel, too

in which case we could only bring 3 oz

fuck you, TSA!

we need lava, dammit

sandy: haha

me: awesome

sandy: next the TSA is like, your clothes can only be this thread count

YOU! TOO MANY THREADS

me: and then you'll only be able to wear natural fibers

because if you wear polyester and set it on fire, the fumes could make people sick

sandy: indeed

you could weave bio-death-cloth

and that would be no good

me: yeah

sandy: so only patchouli-rubbing hippies could ride planes

me: and no more luggage

sandy: but they hitchhike anyway

me: since the clothes in there could burn too

you have to travel gyspy-style with only the clothes on your back and a love of adventure

(but dont' mention your love of adventure while you're going through security, since it could be construed as a terrorist threat)

sandy: you'd also have to love having lights shined into your eyes

and getting wanded

me: heh

you said "getting wanded"

sandy: I did

me: [/beavis and butthead]

sandy: nice
