Does the dragon taste a little off to you?
|
Does the dragon taste a little off to you? I have quite a few cameras ...I actually still have my very first digital camera, and remember how many "oooh's and ahhh's" I used to get when I pulled it out. I bought it back in the 90's for a ridiculous amount of money, it would take about 10 really low quality pictures (that were pretty good for that day and age) before completely burning through a pair of<b> batteries ...</font></b>faster if you spent much time looking at previous pictures. We've probably all had the cell phone that gets hot on occasion, but it was business as usual with that thing. Crazy that a guy with a family that used to have camera's grafted onto their wrists and all the years of always having a camera at hand NEVER seems to remember that the highest quality camera I have is in my pocket all the freaking time, as well as a camcorder and a flashlight. Using the LED flash on the phones for a flashlight is quite possibly one of the handiest ideas ever. Except for g00gle maps of course. THAT is the coolest thing ever, and it's free. Anyone who has ever fought with fold up maps, street atlas for finding stuff, interstate vacations in the 70's and 80's and having to buy maps on the road can tell you how fucking awesome g00gle maps is. Anyway ...I went to my usual Thursday lunch with my friend yesterday and needed to visit a store in an area that I'm totally unfamiliar with. Okay ...since I admitted buying a hideously expensive camera for the geek cred in the day, I guess I can admit that I saw that Best Buy had the Bluray second season of "Arrow" on sale for sixteen bucks ...but neither of my local stores had it in stock. Oh yeah ...and I had a gift card; it was worth the drive to indulge my inner geek, and zero out of pocket. Right next door to the store was a Chinese buffet that neither of us had ever heard of, so we decided to give it a try after my geek buy and impulse buy of the previous season of "Supernatural" at the same price (woot). My first reservation came when we walked in, and they told us we had to pay first, and THEN they would seat us and we could look at the buffet. I paid, and thought it a bit funny that it asked for "tip amount" when you hadn't even been seated yet. Sorry, but I'm just not that trusting. I actually felt a little sorry for the wait staff though; that HAS to affect tipping at least a little. Turned out that the food was actually quite good ...waiter guy was Johnny on the spot with refills. It really wasn't bad. Until I made another trip to get a bit more of the stuff that had been really good. I wish it had occurred to me to have taken a picture ...it may be common and I'd just never seen it, but I doubt it. There were two trays of eggrolls and the little signs said "Dragon Rolls (meat)" by the first and "Egg Rolls (no meat)" by the second. I'd never had dragon meat before (will eating it make me breath fire?!), so I thought I'd give it a try. For everything having been so good up to that point, I just don't know what to say. My friend had one and was fine ...but I only was able to eat three or four small bites and then I was suddenly reminded of the line by the comedian Ron White: "When I say I gotta yak, that does NOT mean I have a small hairy water buffalo that lives with me" No, I didn't get sick ...I was just nauseous for the next two hours or so. I don't think I'll be going back to that particular buffet either though. ...and if I ever having a craving for dragon, I think I'll just stick with "Game of Thrones." |

Canus you are going to hate me because I am your second male comment in a row, (and I did just check your mini profile which clearly states you are interested in women, lol. ) Maybe it was something to do with the title, which made me curious, but then your friend who said woodchuck "tasted kinda like otter" made me spit my tea with laughter, so I thought I had better leave a comment. It just goes to show that good blogging is still alive and well!

Hopefully it wasn't stir-fried cat or rat. And what the heck does otter taste like? Is it another of those that tastes like chicken? Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

I was reading about dragon rolls and they're supposed to have a lot of veggies in them. Perhaps they included eggplant in theirs? Pagan Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!
