My muse sang to me today. She whispered the title of my research project to me. "Looking Back This Once."

I'm sure it'll take the form of "Looking Back This Once: Something Something Something" as those titles are more "sophisticated".

Anyways, thank you Clio.

If you happen to turn to ESPN this Saturday around noon EST, you'll see Tulsa football. Root for the Golden Hurricane to beat the Golden Knights. Really, it's a hurricane against a bunch of knights...we should blow them away.

Bad pun intended.

Ah, someone's crying sour grapes in our fantasy league. He has a pretty good team but he's on the cusp of being eliminated. That's because he needs to beat me next week (our last regular season week) to get into the playoffs. Palmer and Alexander say no. :)

I told you I got Marcel back. He even volunteered for it, if you look around the pictures of him getting pied here in my new facebook album.

See, I'm from the South, and I'm used to calling any kind of soda or pop a coke. Sprite's a coke. Pepsi's a coke. Sunkist's a coke. When I worked at a movie theater, I would ask people if they'd like a medium coke and I'd say seventy five percent of people proceeded to say something other than coke. They understood.

So, what do you call coke?

No. I just don't like other people telling me how sweet my tea should be. I order it unsweetened and then I sweeten it myself. I also don't like lemon in my tea. Damn people keep putting lemons in it.

I also order my burgers and such plain all the time. If I want mustard or whatever on something I will put it on myself instead of letting them drown my burger in condiments. I want to taste my burger not the ketchup they drowned it in.

I'm like Sally. I like everything extra to be on the side. LOL I rarely ever order anything at a restaurant without making special requests.

Hehehe, that reminds me of the BSU intern last year. He ate everything plain. We had a Thanksgiving dinner and he ate the turkey and mashed potatoes without any gravy.

I'm going to guess you are referring to the Sally from When Harry met Sally. I sadly have not seen that movie (there are only like 300 movies on my queue).

I hate LJ. I am just now getting these comments. Bah!

I didn't say I like everything plain. I just think people put too much crap on things and cover the taste up with sauces. I still like sauces and such I just want to control the amount of extras myself. I have control issues. *laugh*

Bah, tea must be brewed with the sugar in it so it may be properly dissolved. You can also super-saturate it that way. :p

Southerners put WAY too much sugar in it, though. I worked at a restuarant, and they put in 2 cups per gallon. I do 1/2 cup per gallon.

Ya cain't put too much sugar in tea. It ain't pahssibuhl.

[correspondguy.livejournal.com]

Hee-yuck!

Wait, wait, I see letters on the screen, words even that I know but they don't make sense together. "too much sugar in it" I'm sorry, I don't think that's possible. I knew a girl when I was in college who super-saturated her tea with sugar during the brewing. Best. Tea. Evah.

When your teeth start to itch, it's too sweet for normal human beings.

There is vast debate on whether Southerners are "normal human beings." I reference Florence King's Southern Ladies and Gentlemen.

I agree. That is why I don't like my tea pre-sweetened. Not everyone likes the same amount of sugar in their tea. But Southerners in general like really sweet things. I don't think I have ever been in a Southern home that doesn't have either sweet tea, mountain dew or orange soda.
