Honkow looslom pistuletson microfissures? NEVER!

Jacquelyn is making Toad in the Hole. Last week she made Bangers and Mash. Why do the Brits have such wonky names for their food? (Jacquelyn hereby requests that I add that she made vegetarian versions of these. For instance Toad was made with herbed vegetables instead of pork sausage. Almost the same thing, but not quite.)

Hamburgers should be called Cow in a Blender Sandwiches?

I would like to say I'm having an abysmal, dismal day, because it sounds cool, but it's an utter lie.

I have to go now because I think we're going to watch a movie before I have to run off to work, but I will leave you with this thought:

I am not going to Egypt until I can stay in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid. I want to do a long fast and meditation, capped off with three days in a sarcophagus in the King's Chamber. At the very least, I want to sleep a night in there.

Aleister Crowley got to do it on his honeymoon. Napoleon did it, but then he had just conquered Egypt, and that gives one special privileges.

I wonder if I write a letter to the Egyptian government if they'll make an exception for me.

I am pretty special, after all.

Yes.. but if Crowley and Napoleon did it.. this probably means you have to be a total bastard to do so. You, sir, do not qualify!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Not everyone are total bastards. Every Egyptian High Priest had to do three days in the King's Chamber to cap off a month long fasting and meditation. They went through crazy death-rebirth scenarios in there and came out Buddhas and Magicians. That's what Jesus did to Lazarus and that's why when everyone freaked out that Lazarus was dead, J-doG was like, "Yeah, so, let's go see." Cuz he knew Lazarus was about to "wake up."

I had to look it up, but yes, that's probably what I'll have to do. And a large one to get the full three days :P

NOUN: A gratuity, tip, or bribe paid to expedite service, especially in some Near Eastern countries.

wait till you start getting served spotted dick.

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

That's next!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

In this country a spotted dick is a reason to go see the doctor.

Here in Britain, hamburgers are called "Moo in a Bread Bed". Just so you know.

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

that's more adorable than i'd dared dream!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

That's WAY better than my Blender joke. You damned Brits.

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

I'll just go to Egypt by myself, then! :(

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

you know my older brother is in egypt RIGHTTHISVERYSECOND!?!?!?!?!

he's there for the elipse.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Weirdo. Who goes for elipses...?

Eclipses, I could understand :P

[wwonka666.livejournal.com]

I think the answer is painfully clear...
YOU MUST CONQUER EGYPT!!
and then I will tag along and ape Crowley by doing lines off Sacophogi (is that the correct plural?)

Been off the naughty salt for awhile now but if given the proper chance to ape Crowley.. i don't think I could resist.. specially not in the King's Chamber.

PS I'm the Beast n stuff...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I've thought about that, but if there's one thing I've learned from the Iraq war is that you can't just conquer one middle eastern county. You have to conquer them ALL simultaneousy.

You're like the millionth person to claim to be the Beast. At least you've got the 666 thing going for you. I know I'm not. I've been 7 plagued since my birth.

[wwonka666.livejournal.com]

you know, just because i'm like the millionth person to claim to be The Beast doesn't uhh.. mean that.. uhhmm..
I'M THE REAL BEAST!

Brits have wonky names for things!
Noooo they are the 'proper' names..its everybody else that is wrong!

(wonkybrit)

[ghostwes.livejournal.com]

I agree... it's because we are properly wonky!

I think that seeing a menu offering "Cow in a Blender Sandwich" might actually inspire me to eat one, after 15 years abstinence. What can I say? I appreciate honesty in advertising.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I prefer Gutzilla's "Mooin a Bread Bed" better. It's warmand fuzzy and still true :P

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I don't know what defines something as proper. I mean, Toad in the Hole? How does that even begin to describe what you're eating?

[schmecky.livejournal.com]

You don't want to hang out in that chamber. You have to squat on thelong downhill walk to get to it, your thighs will hurt for days, it's miserably hot and stuffy and dusty and there's no place to lie down.

But do see the Pyramids laser light show. It's hysterical.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Actually, there's the sarcophagus in the middle of the chamber, and that's where I'll be. If Moses could do it, so can I :P

I've seen pics of the light show, it looks CRAZY.

As someone whose inlaws are Egyptian, I feel that I have the right and knowledge to say "Yes, it is possible, but only if you bribe the government with lots and lots of money."

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll conquer this world, and get rich before I go off conquering the nether realms.
