NEEDS MANGO ESSENCE

A friend in the heat (65°) of deepest, darkest Norway, surrounded by the hairy wild native Stavangers, is smoking Haunted Bookshop these days, and it's giving him existential angst or something. Which I can understand; it's a rather nicotine-rich blend.

My doctor would immensely disapprove.

I myself, freezing in San Francisco (it's summer weather), haven't touched that product in years, though it's a blend of which I approve.


There are many things which meet with my approval though I myself do not indulge in them or partake in any way.

Generally speaking, and in no particular order:

Dutch Calvinism as a cultural manifestation
Rampant Homosexuality
A woman to cuddle
Vindaloo
Lip stick
Zen Buddhism
Modern Orthodoxy
Beefsteak
Bourbon
Hello Kitty
Squiring young ladies to the prom
Up to twenty percent Perique
Cholent
Presbyterian Mixture
Gateau Saint Honoré


That's just a sampling.


Things of which I do NOT approve (also just a sampling):

Flavoured coffee drinks
Spousal abuse
Republicans
Wussy foods
Aromatic pipe tobaccos
Vanillin
Pepto-bismol

I'm still on the fence about pineapple on pizza. It has not been shown that that is heresy, and I doubt that one will go to hell for practising it. Same goes double for Erinmore Flake. And haggis.


My first exposure, years ago, to American decadence and depravity, was typical American teas, including Berkeleyite herbal crap with no actual "tea" in the brew. You know the stuff. It proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there are sick people on this side of the Atlantic.
You people would put tofu in haggis!


I like to think of myself as a perfectly average heterosexual bachelor living a grumpy life surrounded by plague carriers and deviants.
I've got too many books, and no cat.


Still inexplicably single.
Not a Vegan.

FRUITCAKE IS WHAT KARAOKE SOUNDS LIKE

There seem to be many more marginal types about than normal. Perhaps it's the weather? Personally I would like to think existential desp...
