    Guys. Guys. I am terrible at learning lessons and I want a zeppelin. Where can I get one?

    Adequate?

    The only zeppelin you'll ever need.

    That zeppelin won't help me in my expedition to cross the Rockies!

    You have the same birthday as me!? Happy birthday then, from your one years' elder. Enjoy legal drinking. It's a blast!

    And my first drink after turning 21 is....... cherry drink mix with rum, followed closely by Pabst Blue Ribbon.

    You can really taste where that $40 goes though. Oh wait,... no... nevermind.

    In all seriousness, I refuse to believe Heineken isn't bottled rat piss.

    'Challenge', the crappy digital TV channel is showing reruns of 'Catchphrase'.

    I love 'Catchphrase'!

    It's not a downward slide! See, your voice doesn't mature until you're thirty (for most people) so you have little hope of getting the lead in an opera until you're at least that old.

    Which reminds me that I have to practice. I have to get my voice to a good place before I reach that age so that I can still have a nice clear sound when I'm ninety.

    I think I just had one of the nicest meals I have ever had in a good while.

    We decided to treat ourselves to a lovely salad.

    With lettuce, tomatoes, beetroot, sping onion, Tesco finest pasta (that was on offer), Cheese (from the cheese counter), Sweet filled peppers (from the counter where the fresh olives are) finest coleslaw (also in offer! :D), and the main part, Tesco Finest Thai Prawn Fishcakes.

    Oh if this is how a richer man eats, then I am totally missing out!

    Bloody gorgeous. Really.

    Got some Belgian Chocolate Haagen-Das in the freezer for dessert later.

    Man! I'm going to die from all this, but its worth it. So, so worth it!

    (I Wuv you Tescos! (well.. I don't but when you have a good offer on you can be brill))

    Well, I've done my playthrough of the next section of 'Flight of the Amazon Queen' for Part 4 of my let's play. Unfortunately, there's very little to make fun of!

    This is going to be hard work but I'll try my best. Wish me luck (it should be uploaded in around 5 hours or so, if all goes according to plan).

    Come on brain, come up with a way to make weak material funny!

    That sounds great. Out of interest, how much did all of that cost you?

    Personally, I despise Tesco but that's only because I have little money and have to buy their economy 'value' range of foods!

    They could at least make the packaging look nice, so that you don't feel like such a tramp!

    Way too much to be completely reasonable! XD

    EDIT: Overall shop cost me about £72, but I bought a lot of other stuff as well, so it was probably along £5-7 per person for that meal.

    EDIT 2:

    Haagen Dazs: £2.22
    Beetroot: £0.61
    Coleslaw: £1.00
    Pasta: £1.75
    Fish Cakes: £4.00
    Bag of Lettuce: £1.22
    Tomatoes: £0.90
    Salad Onions: £0.67

    Other stuff my mum bought: £9

    Yeah about £7 each, but there is some stuff left over so its more like £5.

    I don't actually know if that's a real product (it's one of Banksy's artworks). I was just using it as an example of the shitty design that Tesco uses for their cheaper products.

    I don't actually like soup, let alone cream of soup.

    EDIT: It is a real product. I just looked it up.

    Value stuff doesn't look all that bad these days.

    But yeah, the quality is mostly trite.

    Though the cans of Chopped Tomatoes and Kidney Beans are great in a Chilli Con Carne! :D

    Just saw Gettysburg. Aside from the run time, I don't get why people rag on it. It's a powerful, moving film and perhaps does the most justice one could possibly serve to the Civil War in film. It's not too Southern, not too Northern: just a great film about a great country embroiled in a terrible battle. Highly recommended to all history buffs.

    If you have four hours to waste, I can't recommend it enough.

    Got some Colt 45 Blast Blue Raspberry Watermelon and had a perfect margarita from Applebees with lunch. My family also bought me Butter-Schnapps, Vodka, and Rum.

    Cream of soup is generally supposed to be used for cooking, not eating alone. I usually use cream of chicken (or occasionally celery) to provide a base for the sauce in my casseroles.

    Good luck! Come on, it should be possible to make fun of anything!

    (Or just flash back if you're really hurting for material.)

    They're doing away the packaging apparently. You see, you'll miss it when it's gone!

    Cream of Onion soup goes into making green bean casserole (which is my favorite side dish, btw.)

    Oh, my grandma made a fantastic green bean casserole. It was kinda lemony, I remember. Though I have a slightly different way of making casseroles. I make the sauce much thicker and also add curry and some lemon juice. Makes them a whole lot less bland.

    Skullgirls is one of the best fighting games I've played in a good while.

    Sure its a little barebones here and there, and there are only 8 characters, (and the online play seems to be pretty slow for me too oddly enough), its a great fighting game.

    All the characters are designed well, have a great style of play to them.
    I loved learning to play as each of them. My particular favourite being Ms. Fortune

    (I have a weakness for cat-based characters in videogames)

    Final Boss in Story Mode is cheap, but not as bad as some bosses I have encountered.

    I really wish the game eventually gets patched with a move-list and character trainer, (Like Blazblue has).

    Barring that, its a great game for 1200 Microsoft points.
    I really am hungry for more! :D
