We're only four degrees removed from Hitler?!

What to say about tonight? This afternoon, I spent time installing the newest Firefox version plus bookmarks and things like that. Then I went to Christon's - very interesting times! Quan texted Jon to say she hated pizza, and that people at her work were just lingering around since it was a holiday. Christon asked Eric how Korey had liked THE DARK KNIGHT, Harmony said that Myles and Brittney (her brother and his girlfriend) went to see WALL-E since they'd already seen Batman (parents' idea to see it), and I asked Teunis about whether we should chill our mead. As Jon said, Teunis can out-Jeremy Jeremy! (as in knowing a lot about various things) We had salmon, salad, goat cheese, raw milk cheese, and potatoes for dinner with mead / raspberry wheat ale / water / diet Pepsi / iced tea. Jeremy noticed "Voda" on the multi-lingual MSA bottle, and joked that it really contained vodka instead of delicious water! The dog next door kept barking at us, so Raymond said that we had to pray for peace and quiet! (various raw dog jokes were made, as well as suggestions about pouring beer on it - but then it might leap the fence; NOT GOOD!)

Talked to Raymond about plans, summer, tennis, Terry, porcupines, pets, roofs, dishes, and more. Harmony says Holly and Peter are honeymooning in Mexico, and are getting married at a golf course. Jeremy said they were switching software at work, and it would be crazy for the next three weeks! We attempted to explain Friday's ever-changing venue gong show to Christon, since Dylan had been too frustrated to even say anything about it when he asked! (yay for Shally!) Discussed Citrus, ROCK BAND, Joey, Tony's modified Nazirite vow (excuse not to drink alcohol), Mike really trying to sing SABOTAGE (Tony would pay good money to see that!), Vernon and Sarah's wedding banquet in 2005, Sonny's whereabouts, roasting Nathan at the grad banquet, the Citrus Lemon Episodes, Pho, Becky's real last name being an Indonesian thing that her dad made up, Toronto, Tony's Wal-Mart / security guard experience (terrible if you have Sunday service after an overnight shift!), distilleries, and more. Jon tried using Christon's corkscrew for the mead (which a bug got into later - YUMMY PROTEIN!), which I would be terrible at trying myself. Jeremy said that we were all four degrees of separation removed from Hitler: one of Jer's professors had once known a guy who worked with / under Hitler himself! Tony's in nursing, and was interested in Fidela's going to an Atlanta nursing school - Sheena is into landscape architecture, and some table discussion centred on Richmond library, school board interviews, and similar topics.

Cindy's allergic to shellfish and jellyfish (like those on the cold cut dish at Chinese ten-course meals), and thus always finds herself sitting at Vernon's table at wedding banquets since they have that allergy in common. Jon recalled his allergy shot days, and said that he liked them because he got to see how big his bumps would become - especially when they were TESTING to see if he had them! Harmony was horrified, but Jon put an arm around her and said that he was a GUY - of course he'd have that kind of reaction! Fidela said that her mom thought she was faking it at first when she cried a lot at 10 after having some raw apples. That time in her life sucked since she was allergic to almost every raw fruit except oranges and bananas - she's grown out of it, except in regards to cherries. Jeremy says he's probably slightly allergic to almost everything, and tried a Snickers bar recently to see how he'd react: his throat swelled up a little bit, but he wouldn't do that again anytime soon. Then again, one of Cindy's friends is allergic to SULPHITES, of all things: those are in practically EVERYTHING these days!

On the way home, we discussed weight competitions - our family could win over Harmony's very easily, even if they do add Peter! The rest of the ride was spent laughing at Jon's ideas of a new hairstyle: Harmony wouldn't like it at all if he grafted his scalp hair to his chest, haha! He joked that he'd do that in time for Holly's wedding on Friday... or try to grow his hair really long as a future project. Told Eric about how I can't relate to cerebrally-challenged people, as well. Might have been the 13% alcohol mead, but I found myself using a lot of big words - hey, nobody can say anything about it! Hopefully, I didn't sound too pompous!
