Sausage, vacuum cleaners, code, Cotton Eye Joe, Vietnam, and silliness

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Teunis got home at around 9, and said that his brother had made sausage - he also brought his vacuum cleaner from storage, and had a box of impractical stuff from up north. (ice skates, anyone?) He also said that the person who was harassing people last week was in the parking lot, and pestered him, so he told her to go get help from a doctor! Eh, we're just not going to answer the door! Told him that I bought bread, and that the Purdy's peanut butter egg / Factory Optical business card / scissors were for him. We talked about inspirational / beautiful programming code, DOS / Windows 3.1, WOLFENSTEIN 3D, DOOM, Cotton Eye Joe, sticky caps, Nibs / licorice, zoning out, headaches, Paypal, private space programs, frustration, his flute, dragons / enchanted snow, XKCD, Therion, ambient music, thrash metal, thanking me for various things, dark vs. white chocolate, and cocoa powder. Also discussed the Arrogant Worms, Manowar, homemade hot chocolate mixes with brandy {I finally tried one}, mythology, the Vietnam embassy, Viking metal, Sleipnir (a mythological horse with eight legs) / Odin, Norse myths, silly Stan Rogers songs, and more.
