You just got off an 11 hour shift, with a piss poor lunch and half assed breaks. You make your way to the closest bar you can, trying to avoid the rain which hasnt stopped in weeks. The puddles are constant and you can only hope that your socks won't stay soggy all night. The door of the The Jolly Roger, or the Olly Ogger depending on how the neon sign is feeling, sticks as you try to open it and you stumble in. The bartender's mechanic shirt reads Stew but he introduced himself as "Rob" when you order a drink. You sit down in the back after ordering 2 eggs with hashbrowns and toast. There are 4 pinball machines blinking on the far wall and to your amazment one of them says it has a free game, you are not about to pass this up. As you walk up to the game the door slams open and in walks a horse. Snorting at the bartender and shaking off the rain he manages to sit down at the bar.
What is the horses name, and how did you order your eggs?

Our dear friend here was left out of the strange questions most new folks get asked. So I figured this was a decent way to make up for it.

You are a sweetheart, dear norm. I only wish I was an indeterminable amount of years younger and I would... well you know.

The horse's name is Hogan and my eggs were over easy.

Thanks!

Over easy is the best choice for eggs. Its what I always get when I go to the Jolly Roger.
What kind of toast?

YES THE SANDWICH QUESTION ERHMAHRGERD!

I would be a crispy prawn sandwich with melted cheese, lettuce, carrots and garlic sauce.

I just like exotic fish, those you can't keep in a tank unless you spend an arm and a leg getting salt water for.

The thread has mutated. I would take these questions up with Irina if I were you. But then again that could cause a mess.

Dear Irina, why are you scared to start new threads, this is the internet? All the bullies around here seemed to have calmed down or left. You know you wake up at night and have the urge to post random shit.

I have nothing to say, actually. I don't even wake up at night, unless I'm too thirsty or the cat has climbed in my bed and I need to kick it out.

They had some funny stuff to say, and were generaly entertaining, but jesus's tits they were assholes. They made everyone feel unwelcome, gave shit to everyone that wasnt part of the asshole circle and well, were assholes. That was part of the reason I left for a while was becuase this place just stopped being enjoyable.
But Its okay I am back now and realize the joys of assholes.

I'm meeting my girlfriends for a sleepover splashed with honeyed rum on Thursday night, though. I'll sleep less then.

Ok Irina, it's sometime after 2 am and you are in quite drunk. Not spinny throwing up drunk, but you are getting there. Knowing that you have stuff to do tomorrow, outside of sitting around in your underwear watching cartoons, you decided to get something besides cheap booze and offbrand wine in your belly. Your shopping list was cashed out last week so yuor fridge has a decent stock of food and toppings. Condiments as far as your fridge can see. You know your sandwich skills are sharp, but with the ammount of hooch in your system you know that whatever you make is going to take a little extra love and care. But then you see it in your Mind eye. PB&J
What do you do. Do you try to craft a masterpiece or do you settle with your old fling, PB&J.

I have the perfect answer for this. Just yesterday I found out that there is such a thing as speculoos spread. So I'll make a S&J sandwich instead. Speculoos spread on crisp white toast and quince jam. Which, incidentally, mum made today. So there. A sweet snack for my inebriated 2 am self.

I didn't know what speculoos was until I moved here. It's probably my favorite kind of crepe. It's amazing. SOOO GOOD!!

I looked up this speculoos spread.

Also known as "cookie butter"

How is this not the biggest thing in America?

We call it speculaas and it's one of my favorite things! I brought the spices to Norway, so that I can make Dutch treats with it.

What? is it cookies that have been turned into a spread?

That sounds like it could rival Nutella.

Those biscuits are the best, Amber. Okay, probably on the same level of coolness as lemon-filled ones.

I'm pretty sure "Biscoff spread" is the same thing as speculoos. The packages look the same.

Edit: Upon further review, they are made by the same company. Lotus.
