I've just been to England and while there I went into a store, a perfectly normal British store, not a tourist store, and they had cookies. And they called them cookies. I bought some and ate them. They were cookies. They were made by a British company, too.
You've all been pulling our legs all this time about the whole cookie-biscuit thing. The gig is up now.

I have to go and buy my stepdad some Guinness apparently. Can't wait, but so much to do.

I KNEW it!!!!
And, my own rave: I got my sketchbook in the mail for the Sketchbook Project. I have my theme too. I let them pick one for me cause I figured it would be more fun and challenging that way. Boy will it be! My theme is "Trading Forever"
Now I have until January to fill the sketchbook with images inspired by my theme! Fun!

Being able to disagree with people on a great many deep ideas, but at the end of the day, being able to kick back, relax, grill some good food, and enjoy each other's company. Why can't everyone who disagrees be that mature?

My ipod went for a swim last week, and it was very sad. There was 'the ring' style screen flickering, and I figured it was doomed. After very patiently waiting and not touching it and trying not to even look at it... I plugged it in today, and it works again!
I live. I LIVE!
I live. I LIVE!

That's the device keeping Steve Jobs' heart beating. Totally different.

Inception. Don't be thrown off by the fact that Leonardo diCaprio stars in it. It was really, really good.

About 20 minutes before I got off work, the whole plant was complaining about smelling smoke. I spotted the raging paper fire and managed to put it out before anyone else got there.
Go me.
Go me.

The 'Biscuit' in that picture looks like a cracker to me. Like a pale Ritz Cracker someone stamped a logo in.

I now have the urge to go out and buy some Leibniz butter biscuits.

There's nothing unusual about Britons calling cookies cookies. The problem is when foreigners insisting on calling random other unrelated things cookies. Or "candy" for that matter.

American biscuits are quite delicious, so it's not exactly a chore to eat them.
They're the kind of thing kids will snatch up first at the table, given half a chance.

You probably lit the fire yourself. Come on, admit it.

I would totally add that to my resume. Fights fires and is world's greatest hero. Perhaps you'll be the one that will save Serenwilde.

No, that would be the double down.

Okay, I googled that and I'm confused. It appears to be a sandwich, except instead of bread, there's chicken - and it's filled with bacon and cheese?
