Ok, three things. And, let me thank you in advance for putting up with my complexities, idiosyncrecies, dry sense of humor, and poor spellmanship. Your efforts are appreciated.
Ok, here are three things that I - just - don't - understand.
1) The entree of Biscuits and Gravy: I almost go into hysterics every time I see it on a menu. It is actually considered a meal. And that blows my mind. It's a side item and a condiment! Put together! It's like adding up 1/2 (side item - biscuit) and 1/4 (condiment - gravy) and coming up with 9.99! It's just ridiculous! Most every single entree comes with a biscuit. And then you can just ask for gravy... and they just give it to you! The meal of biscuits and gravy will forever blow my mind. And people think they're getting ripped off at the gas pump...
2) Broccoli Soup: Seriously? When I first heard about this type of soup I literally thought it was a joke - like a practical joke. Are you for real? Do I want to eat a whole cup of cheese and broccoli? What do you think? Ok, let's separate these two things. One, broccoli has the worst reputation of all the vegetables. Nobody likes broccoli. Two, ummm, without the broccoli, it would just be a cup of cheese. I am just trying to figure out what went through the chef's head when he was making it. "Hmm, well, so far I just have a cup of melted cheese. What can I put in there to make this an awesome soup? Oh, of course - broccoli." I rest my case.
3) Coffee: Ok, granted, this one is more of a stretch, but, please follow me on this exchange.
Kenton: Hey, what are you drinking?
Zac: Oh, it's coffee. I'm trying to get used to it.
Kenton: What do you mean?
Zac: Oh, well, I can't stand how it tastes. So I have to put a bunch of sugar and creamer in it and all that stuff to even get it down.
Kenton: Why?
Zac: Well, I'm trying to get to like coffee. I figure I can drink it with all this stuff in it and slowly take the stuff out. Maybe in like a year or two I can just drink straight coffee.
Kenton: Why don't you just drink something that you like?
Zac: (silence).
I mean, for real? If you have to put all that stuff into it just to drink it and it still tastes really bad, why are you even doing that? Why? I don't think I will ever understand coffee (although, I should start to drink it).
Good times.

1- It may seem ridiculous, until you eat it. I always thought it was strange. I mean, you put gravy on meat, not bread, and for dinner, not breakfast. Oh how my eyes were opened that day when I was 10. Trust me, you think its weird, which it may be a little, but its delicious. If your qualm is with the pricing, I absolutely agree. I think 4.50 is about adequate for b&g.
2- I am in full agreement. And I hate broccoli.
3- I just have one thing to say: Least dangerous legal drug available. And once you get to the place where you like it, you love it. (ok that was two things)
Dang, Lee. Looks like I caught you right on the cusp of a new blog. Was that the correct usage of cusp?
Anyhow, I like it. You can look at mine if you want.
I read this topic & it is very nice.
