Meanwhile, at a grocers' specialist in British goods whence Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har-Har were in out of curiosity

[Wherein we find the most unlikely of duos in the candy--or, as the Brits would call it, "sweets"--section, and they come across a candy bar called the Lion such.]

LIPPY THE LION, beaming with some pride: Now isn't that interesting, Hardy, having a candy bar named "Lion," howbeit over in Jolly Olde England!

HARDY HAR-HAR, as myopic as ever: Would that they had, for the sake of fairness, a candy bar called the "Hyaena"; THAT would most certainly make my day!

LIPPY THE LION: Hardy, my compadre, you have no sense of the aesthetic that is discovery and fascination, especially when it comes to the odd treat in candy bar form ... and especially in the English manner, at that!

[Meanwhile, along comes no less than--]

THE KING, "himself," going into the Edd Byrnes routine with the comb through his leonine mane: Somehow, curiosity got the better of yours truly and he decided to pay a call to this rather interesting little supermarket, and a British supermarket, at that!

[He notices the Lion bars in the candy section]

If that isn't a rather astute sort of candy bar myself--uh, what are you and Hardy doing in this place?

LIPPY THE LION: Curiosity, my fellow of the leonine race! I am no less than Lippy the Lion, and this is my compadre, Hardy Har-Har, who has yet to crack serious laughter!

HARDY HAR-HAR: It's all because the laugh muscles in my jaw risk inflammation and injury! It's a medically confirmed fact, besides!

THE KING, with his usual swagger: Meanwhile, have you ever come across my crew's own hyaenal practical joker, Yukayuka? HIS style is classic Johnston Smith catalogue practical joker; joy buzzers, whoopie cushions filled with mayonnaise, fake cat vomit, rubber donuts, garlic chewing gum--

LIPPY THE LION: Doubtless I am acquainted with the whole! Too, I was thinking of trying those Colman's casserole mixes, especially in the slow cooker; I was thinking on the order of that Sausage Casserole, especially the sort where I could use some smoked sausage in the whole....

THE KING: As no doubt has me thinking along much the same sort of concept, especially so the Chicken Casserole, which might be worth trying some Sunday for supper!

LIPPY THE LION: To which yours truly might also want to give that some consideration as well!

THE KING, with exuberance: Heyyyyy ... what are friends for, anyway?

On at least one occasion, Matt has woken up, wandered into the kitchen like the ghost of a Victorian child, flicked on the lights and had a minor crisis. He's picking everything up and squinting at it because he can't read anything. How many rips did he take off the bong he can't remember getting out last night? Then he finally wakes up enough to realize he's not brain-damaged or baked, it's just all in Ukrainian and Polish because Katya did the shopping last. And he can read it.

One could claim many reasons for why Canada is a good place to live. Healthcare, slightly-less-on-fire-politically than the US, etc etc.

For me, it's easy access to Jaffacakes

bad: needing to go to wegmans to get specific grocery items because they're the closest place that sells them

good: an excuse to get the fancy snacks from wegmans while purchasing my specific grocery items

my fave thing abt job hiring in my town is that they hire based on connections rather than someone who actually needs or wants the work so they hire friends only or friends of friends and then the job opens up again within a couple of weeks because those people don’t actually do anything but the hiring staff just keeps repeating the cycle ????? like lmao it’s so laughable

Two years ago today I landed in London and began the best year of my life entirely alone and this morning I cried during my flight to Boston because I didn’t want to leave my mommy truly life comes at you fast

Some Europeans will mock North Americans for something (think, “unhealthy”/non-fresh food or lack of public infrastructure) like it’s a moral failing we choose and not literally a byproduct of centuries of on-going violent colonization that quite literally changed the very grass that grows in North America.
