Attendees: Sarah, Chris, Susan, Greg, Gigi, Sharon, Tamar, Amy.
It’s been a while since I last wrote lunch minutes. I just lost interest and didn’t feel like writing anymore. It became less fun and more like work. The horror. That is, until today compelled me to write again.
Eunuchs – This began from an article in today’s news about an Indian “woman” runner that failed a gender test.
Indian runner fails gender test, loses medal
Which brings the question, do you know what a eunuch is?
Wikipedia: Eunuch
PSA: When having a potluck and you want to hide the food from us please realize:
a) if your goal is to hide food, you suck at hiding. Putting it in plain view in the refrigerator is not obvious at all except it is obvious.
b) we know you’re not going to eat the leftovers. Why deny the people that will actually eat it?
c) If it is left over the weekend it is now public property.
When you warm up your food, please ensure that you are there to watch over it. Carrie Haigh’s Lean Cuisine magically turned into chocolate cake while she was away. Teresa Ryan had to ruin the trick by finding her real lunch, although Carrie seemed a bit disappointed when her real lunch was found.
Dirty Armenians – While talking about where we should go for Tamar’s lunch either Chris said or someone said Chris thought that if someone has dark hair they are Armenian So does that make Chris Armenian? Then someone said that dark skin also has something to do with it. Chris still qualifies as Armenian. Then it got ugly when Susan make a comment about not being dark but dirty. I’m not sure where she was going with this, but it was funny. And the icy stares from Tamar was amusing.
Once again my zoo school skills came in handy. Gigi was commenting on how Randy is interviewing at Panda Express and Sharon chimed in that Randy should say that he loves marsupials. It was that comment that left us speechless for about 5 seconds. Quite an accomplishment if you’ve ever had lunch with us. Okay, if you haven’t figured it out, a panda is not a marsupial, but a koala is. As Gigi astutely put, a panda is not a marsupial because it has bear as its last name. I had full Caroline face for over 10 seconds while I was running through my zoo school facts in my head. (marsupials are mostly in Australia….only US marsupial is a opossum….no marsupials in Asia…..)
UPDATE: We also discussed toilet paper. Single ply vs. double ply. Quilted Northern vs. Cottonelle. Scott vs. other cheap single ply. My personal favorite: Cottonelle Flushable moist wipes
