She also made beer cheese dip and pulled pork. My contributions were a garland of allegedly glow-in-the-dark inflatable moons and stars which did not glow in the dark and a ton of jambalaya which turned out much better, thanks to lots of help from Luxuli and a financial contribution from Tiffy. (I think I have covered all my shout-outs there.) Thanks to Anna Banana II for lots of help as well, with decorating and food.
Rich got some crazy presents, like a baseball cap that says “Jesus Christ the Supper Star” with a tag on it that has an eagle and an American flag but does not actually say anything, and inside of the cap is a little label that says “Made in China.” He also got a book called “Meat: A Love Story,” which is perfect for a carnivore like him, and a book of Latin quips for all occasions. (No worries, he got some serious gifts too.)
You may be wondering what else we had for the “Forbidden Planet” theme besides Robby the Cake and some nonfunctional moons and stars. We also had an exercise ball for the Forbidden Planet, and Katzooks brought a robot eraser, a robot game, and rocket balloons which we tested out after almost everyone else had gone home. They scream while flying straight up in the air, although the first one Rich tested just exploded.
Mr. Icon was talking about an old ad called “The Heartbreak of Psoriasis,” and El Vegetariano was confused. “Why would psoriasis be heartbroken?” he wondered.
Yesterday Rich and I went to the Garden Expo, and we had to laugh because you pay to park, you pay to enter (unless you get free tickets, like we did), and then all you do there is buy stuff, so it's all about spending money. I bought a little succulent plant; Rich bought nothing, but he did look at some of the tools with interest. They had everything there from $3 plants to $45K backhoes, depending on your gardening needs.
