Which reminds me...

I may be having just hoops for tea if I don't get my ass off somewhere to purchase food.


I'm also going to check to park for those thugs.




Yeah, wish me luck, on both counts.

See, I actually like hoops. (Only we call 'em spaghettios.) The generic Wal-Mart brand! With meatballs!

Yeah, I have lower-class tastes. Sue me. I also think vienna sausages are wonderful.

Good luck with the thugs!

Nah, I actually love 'oops, and I can eat them anytime, it's just that I didn't have any thing to eat them with (bread, mash potato etc.) and I could be bothered to cook them so I just went with cold spaghetti hoops straight from the tin like the unabashed student I am. Is that fail or win?

So yeah.

Lower-class tastes? Pshaw. Some things taste better cheaper. Vienna... sausages?

No such luck actually. Although I did meet a nice German butcher guy and chatted to another guy about his dog, so you know, swings and roundabouts.

Vienna sausage! They're not sausage at all, they're about two inches long and probably only theoretically a meat product. :D I slice 'em up and eat 'em on bread as a sandwich, but many people consider them "earthquake food"--to be eaten only in the event of an emergency, since they don't need to be cooked.

I don't eat anything with hoops, either--just straight out of the can--although I do microwave them first. I don't think I could manage them cold.

Gene could come round my house and nom anything he wanted.

I mean...er...

only theoretically a meat product? What else is it then? o__O
Is it a bit like Jerky?

CAN! :P I'm a bit weird like that. I drink cold tea as well. Mmm.

Quote from random website: "Armour Vienna sausages are made from 'mechanically deboned' chicken, pork AND beef. What this means is that the waste trimmings from the different animals are scraped together, crushed and formed into a 'sausage.'"

What this means is that, although you can get through many, many cans with only a soft squishy texture, every once in a while you'll hit a tiny bit of something hard. And then you get to wonder what the HELL that was, and avoid Vienna sausages for a while, until you're broke or just craving that almost-bologna taste again.

It's like bad h/c fanfic. You know it'll eventually make you sick, but you just can't stop coming back for more!
