    My grandmother’s cuckoo clocks & hummel figurines. A nod to her Germanness or souvenirs brought back by American GIs? or both?

    What kind self respecting establishment runs out of bacon?
    Then has the nerve to offer “Canadian bacon” as a substitute.

    Someone is getting throat punched!

    Fun (kinda, not really) fact: we don't call it Canadian bacon here, we call it back bacon, or sometimes peameal bacon (although technically, even that's not right anymore).

    Isn't back bacon more of a ham though? Like you'd get on an egg McMuffin

    Back bacon is our thing exclusively i think and peameal is localized even more cause it originated in Toronto at the st Lawrence market....mmmm now I want to get a peameal in a bun. Yummmmm

    I think ham comes from a pig's bottom but back bacon comes from the back. And peameal is back bacon but they've cured it, I think -- but I know people have used peameal and back bacon interchangeably even though they're technically different in how they're made

    I was walking from Starbucks to my work this morning and a man that I passed spoke to me but I couldn't hear him so I took my earbud out and said, "sorry?"

    "Do you have any cans?"

    "...No. Sorry."

    "Do you like the [local gardens place]?"

    "No. I don't," which was a *kitten* ridiculous answer because everyone loves them, they're beautiful, but I was so confused as to what was happening. Why was I being asked for cans? Did he mean my tits? Did he mean real cans of food? No idea.

    I find them rather bland and use jalapenos if I want green in there. Makes a party with sweet reds and yellers.

    spicy

    I just cut my bell peppers into strips and eat them plain as a snack. I don’t think I would like jalapeños that way.

    My colleague had a meeting with some clients yesterday – a woman and her husband. From all the way upstairs, I could hear them on the main floor when the woman said, “I’m sorry for staring, but you have the most penetrating blue eyes.” so now we can’t leave him alone about it

    Kinda surprised the fifth one didn't work since it's two words grafted together.
    Wait. What? How can you tell? Can you see it when you quote? Because I can’t. Are you *kitten* with me? Don’t take advantage of my gullibility.

    Also, glassyo is quite feisty
