Dallas and Twinkle / April 2008 Bubble Tea Tally

After that last post, I went to the third floor to see what Jon and Dallas were up to. They were talking about Ebonics, and about whether they'd use it. I was emphatically against using it personally, and so were they. Jon mentioned that he couldn't see Jeremy talking in that "language" since he didn't seem like the type of person who'd desire it. I definitely agreed with that one, and reflected that it was a good thing Jeremy wouldn't! It's a real stretch to imagine him saying certain words for a first-person pronoun that isn't gender-specific, for example! Asked if we were doing drinks, and we decided to do so even if it was takeout... talked about grammar podcasts, Lyn Truss, Harmony's writing, other podcasts, etc.

Paused for a while when we heard noises - I thought it was the TV, but it turned out to be Steph in her room on the phone! Dallas figured he might need to shower, and asked us if he smelled - Jon said we weren't getting close enough to find that out! Lack of towels and soap was definitely no excuse in that house, although not having any extra changes of clothing was a valid enough reason for us. Jon picked out some "non-noisy, non-random" music just for Dallas, and wondered at Dallas' contention that he'd heard the Police GREATEST HITS album before in the company of the ugfart: "Dude, I have over 500 CDs! How can you hear that one more than once when you're with me?!"

CDs may be kinda obsolete these days, but Jon likes the physical touch - people DO go to concerts too nowadays! Some people can just download a lot of music, and that may be enough for them, of course. Talked about Eric being more introverted than Harmony (you can't use the beer method on him!), beer establishments, Vancouver beer tours, Jeremy, stress, Nathan, cash, Seven Dwarfs special drinks, discounts for takeout, specials, sushi, a menu shaped like a cloud, star jelly, Twinkle (near the Michigan Noodle Shop), HARRY POTTER (which Twinkle had as reading material), magazines called MILK and HONEY, sperm and egg, chocolate, mango, karaoke and Hong Kong-style stuff not being part of our culture, and more. Very good end to a sweet night!
