Sex & Shenanigans

Do you ever just go on a tangent on some topic in your brain and then obsessively google everything about it…??

Like wiki/googling everything you can in the middle of the night because I HAD to know if chickens & alligators were both decended from dinosaurs, like a meme said. I was right, only chickens are, but still, it was imperative I know the entirely evolutionary history of both animals before I could sleep...I mean, no, I have no idea what you're talking about

I feel so seen right now…
 
After our third deployment to the Persian Gulf, our carrier had returned to our homeport of Yokosuka, Japan. Me and my BFAMs, Rick and Mike, headed over to the Seaside Club for brunch the next morning. After we got our food, we each got a steaming mug of coffee and returned to our table. Rick promptly poured cream and sugar into his, stirred it, and took a sip. Afterward, he let out an exaggerated, "Ahhh."

He grinned, held up his mug, and said, "I likes my coffee like I likes my women: Tan and sweet!"

Not to be outdone, I held up my mug and said, "I likes my coffee like I likes my women: Black and strong."

We both grinned and turned to Mike. He was a few years older than us, and had a history of out-doing us on things like this. After eyeballing both of us for a long moment, he said, "Well, I likes my coffee like I likes my women. Been sitting around for a couple weeks, with chunky bits in the bottom and a big ring around the top."

Rick and I promptly lost some of our coffee, we were laughing so hard.
I like my coffee like I like my women as well -- with deep respect for the joy they both bring to my life.

You'd want @LupineOne to cook up that steak. It's not like I'm incompetent, but "a good man's gotta know his limitations." If it's a Shenanigang party, I think he's demonstrated he'd be the grill master & chef of choice.
Trust me, I agree, @LupineOne does know how i like something cooked, even @UnquietDreams and @BrendaBear know 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will gladly send it back if it's medium or anything more.
 
Ok here’s a game … tell me something you like that is traditionally disliked.

Some kind of food.. a show.. a song.. a movie..

Whatever.



But don’t just tell me … convince me WHY I should like it too.

Make a case for it.
I've come around to appreciate Tom Cruise's movie The Firm. When I first saw it in the theater, it was a very literate crowd. It seemed from all the loud groans that the entire audience hated the film. But that was because we'd all read the book. About a decade later, the movie was on television, and I tried really hard to watch it without my preconceptions from the book getting in the way.

If you just went to see Tom Cruise playing a young, hotshot lawyer going up against the mob and the US government at the same time, it was actually pretty good. It's not the book, but movies pretty much never live up to the book.
