Of course the split pea and ham soup contains green peas!

Bingos of the night so far:

ANODIZED (82 points) - against Dave H. [the Z was on a double-letter score!]
ACTIVATE (62 points) - against Kelly S.
TAWDRIER (63 points) - against Dean E.
ADAGIOS (68 points) - against Flora G.


Hey, Kathy T. played ZIT off my own already-played ZIT: how quirky, haha. Dave H. also played ZIG off my own ZIG... yay, quirkiness! Third example just tonight: I played DIP off Danny M.'s DIP! Jason Yee also added me on Facebook - hmm, haha. Jon and I are talking about his old friend Rob's next gig: it'll be at the Penthouse Nightclub on June 8. He apparently needs everyone to come out and make him famous, because it's a strange and exciting new format which will be aired on the radio. Hahaha!

Andrew asked for novel theme help, so I gave him some! Have been talking to David S. a bit today, too. Corey and I are talking about "real (Scrabble) words" and how the Scrabble dictionary makes everything worthless since it accepts a lot of two- and three-letter combinations that either sound like slang OR aren't really valid regular dictionary words. I can see his point, heh. Now he's just responding with "Well, that's not nice" to everything I say, hahaha.

At dinner tonight, Jon and I tried getting Grandma to drink some Hop Head India Pale Ale - no dice. I asked her if she liked the split pea and ham soup, and she said no. When asked why, she said that the peas were green - Jon and I burst out laughing when we heard THAT! The soup was practically the same color as the liquidy curry, which Grandma remarked on. Then he farted, and Grandma told him that he had no manners while referring to his "boyfriend" (um...) - too bad we don't have the language skills to amuse ourselves by telling her that we hold farting contests with our friends ALL the time, so there's nothing wrong with that! [note: we actually DO NOT hold such contests... that would be an amusing lie, however!] I recalled the boys in elementary school and their armpit farts, haha. :D

We confused the Chinese word for DURIAN with that for LOTUS ROOT; this came about because Grandma was talking about old vegetables. Then she asked about the flowers that he and Harmony had given Mom and her for Mother's Day: she opined that it was a waste of money. So then I tried telling her that it wasn't because they loved them, and money wasn't an object. She asked whether we knew that she loved us - to amuse himself, Jon said no. Then she told us about how she'd looked after us when we were kids so Mom and Dad could go to work, and added a couple of stories about a barking dog on the way to school (stand still!) / neighbors driving us to school. Very interesting dinner for sure! :D
