Lisarea's Amazing Feats of Power-Gastronomy and Sloth Thrad

[Vivisectus]

I have started keeping track of what I eat and drink, and making a point of doing some decent cardio excercise for at least 30 minutes a day, in order to get rid of the House that Budweiser Built, also known as the Beer Baby or to my fellow dutchmen - "het afdakje".

However, since there is a place to record our fitness feats, I feel we should maintain balance in the universe by also recording exceptional acts of lazyness and gluttony. So record here your finest calorific exploits, acts of amazing apathy and truly inspiring achievements of sloth.

I for one will say to hell with all diets and head off to the Taste of Dublin festival this Saturday. There, I will sample starter-sized portions of some of the signature dishes of every major restaurant in the city. Last year it was a relentless onslaught of Foie Gras - almost every restaurant seemed to be incorporating it somehow - and pork belly. The best one in town is Bon Appetit - a truly talented chef runs that place, and for a michelin star restaurant it is reasonably priced as well.

I will be sampling fine wines, artisan cheeses, meads and wiskeys, as well as whiskeys, boutique chocolates and specialty beers from small distilleries. We will eat wild boar sausages, gourmet venison pies and the finest Pates known to man. Me and the Mrs will get uproariously drunk, determined to sample at least one thing from every stand - we almost made it last year, but were defeated by a cunningly placed micro-brewery stand JUST as we were getting close and had to stumble off to find somewhere to sleep.

This time I am prepared - we have a room booked within crawling distance, and it is downhill from the venue so if we can no longer support our alcohol-sodden, bloated frames we can simply let gravity do all the work and roll down into the hotel.

We will eat wild boar sausages

:freakout:

[lisarea]

Once, I had to leave work early because I got a stomachache from eating a whole bag of root beer barrels (http://www.oldtimecandy.com/root-beer-barrels.htm).

I put that as my away status, too.

also known as the Beer Baby or to my fellow dutchmen - "het afdakje".Be honest now, that's not a real word, you just banged on the home keys at random.

I am much more guilty of sloth than gluttony. In fact, sometimes my sloth leads to not eating enough food because I'm too lazy to go get some/make some.

[Gonzo]

:ff: is sloth

[Ymir's blood]

Pride is the greatest of the Seven Deadly Sins, so naturally it is the one I claim for myself.

It is dutch for a small rooflet, often at the side of a building, to keep tools or firewood dry. Kind of like a lean-to that doesn't go all the way to the ground. Hence the dutch saying "A good tool deserves a roof over it's head", meaning that your beer-belly now has grown to such proportions that you can no longer discern your own wedding-tackle.

But yeah, a lot of Dutch is basically only one step away from Finnish, a language that is never happy unless it has at least 7 consonants in a single word.

[erimir]

Wha?

Finnish tends to have more vowels than consonants in its words, because it doesn't allow very many consonant clusters.

[mulebear]

Pictures of said gut or it doesn't exist.

This is purely for research purposes and has nothing to do with my interest in bearish men and their cuddly tummies.

Okay, maybe a little.

[lisarea]

OH ALRIGHT. Let me find my camera.

[mulebear]

I just threw up a little.

[Gonzo]

Someone should make erimir a thrad about something like the evolution of linguistical accents in a population's official language in specific geographical regions over time. :yup:

[LadyShea]

I made both brownies and chocolate chip cookies last night, at the request of hubby and Kiddo respectively. Guess who has eaten two brownies and three cookies THIS MORNING? Not them.

[Pinecone]

Throughout my life most of my time, efforts and money have gone towards making my life quicker, easier and less expensive. :facepalm:

Replace "brownies and chocolate chip cookies" with Oatmeal-Rhubarb Bars and change "hubby" to Mrs KA and, you can see my house from here!

Drunk as shit and celebrating nine years of drunkening debauchery, we won the Championships!!!

[Doctor X]

Celebrating the schadenfreude of the inability to purchase "not one, not two, not three, not four, not five" championships under the Self-Absorbed Princess.

Jordan won championships, Scotty Lebron. Magic won championships. Heck, BIIIIIIIIRD, Russell, et cetera all won championships.

You, however, have just lost.

We will get back to you when you are worthy to sniff Danny Ainge's Magic Underwear. . . .

P.S. Have they started turning over cars in Cleveland?

[Demimonde]

Good question, there was a series of billboards rooting for the Mavs in Cleveland though.

[Vivisectus]

Urgh. I feel fat and mildly poisoned. Who knew minty pea foam could be so tasty and work well with black pudding and seared scallop? And that you could slow-cook lamb into something tasty in stead of something dry and awful?

Also, Patron tequila is goddamn delicious. It also had nothing to do with me pretending to have Tourettes syndrome in order to shout "Stupid little fucking hat!" at anyone wearing those stupid looking little trendy hats.

[Ensign Steve]

I had an extra hamburger and hot dog at dinner Sunday night. :muahaha:

[mulebear]

I put off cleaning the cat litter box.

Shouldn't have.

It was epic.

[Demimonde]

I spent my day couch surfing, watching movies I have already seen, playing with my new phone, and reading about a hundred Cracked lists.

That's like my whole fucking Summer so far. :brooding:

[wei yau]

I did nothing all day last Sunday

Instead of weeding the lawn, the wife said let's go see a movie like you wanted. So, we took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda 2

Ended with a dinner at a Thai restaurant, which was quite nice.

I then thanked my family for the stealth Father's Day treats, complimented them on doing all that without a mention of the holiday.
