The Best Stuff

Caro, please don't tell.

I was in the grocery store yesterday and there was a Dido song playing, and I was thinking to myself, "this is certainly not one of the best songs ever written". A couple days before that, Boys of Summer had been playing as I was being electrocuted in the physiotherapist's office, and I had the exact opposite thought.

So, I think it's time to talk about some of the best stuff. Feel free to pitch in.

Best Songs (at the moment....)
Boys of Summer (Don Henley)
I Hope You Dance (Lee Ann Womack with a great backing band)
most of the Pornografitti album (Extreme)
With or Without You, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for, Where the Streets Have No Name (U2)
Anything that doesn't have Sean Paul in it

Best Band Names
Chixdigit
Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch (thanks to Erin for the reminder)
Monday Night Band

Best Delivery of the Word "Tea?" (as an invitation)
British Nathan

Best Foods
Steak
Nat's trifle
Anything deep-fried

Best Sound
The little chick's laugh

Best Articles of Clothing
Depends heavily on the situation, but, in general, a great pair of jeans
Big Red Coat

Best Tire
Front driver's side

Best Picture
The next one...


More to come. Hope you're all well!

You forgot Rosti, and didn't you have some shoes you are just crazy about?

Song: Friday I'm in Love!! (The Cure, of course)

I think the best CD Jars of Clay ever did was The Eleventh Hour. Man was that good.

Amen to the MNB!!! It sounds great whether spelled out or just the initials. :) Clear sign of greatness.

Oh yeah, that's a good, good song. I would agree that it's one of the best, as long as I don't have to see Robert singing while it plays.

Another one I forgot: I think my favorite condiment now is jalapeno peppers.

You just inspired me Darryl. I'm going to make a MEAT TRIFLE. I can't believe no one has thought about this. And no, this ain't yo' momma's shepherd pie either*. I'm talking succulent layers steak, chicken, buffalo, bacon, chicken nuggets, venison, pork chop and garnished with pepperoni sticks in a star burst pattern -- all in a beautiful free standing trifle bowl.

*The phrase "ain’t yo' momma’s" is in no way intended to disrespect Mrs. Delamont or any shepherd's pie that may have ever been made in the Delamont household. I'm sure it is delicious. This street slang phrase is roughly translated to "not your average".

Also, for best band names, I've always loved "Me First and the Gimmee Gimmee's"...

My heart is crying "what about chicken wings? how can you possibly have meat trifle without chicken wings?", but my brain is saying that the bones would be a potential problem.

Tricky.

Do you think you could find some way to work some dijon mustard into the whipped cream?

Ew. I thought my scrambled eggs getting into my strawberries and whipped cream on a waffle was exciting this morning... but mustard definitely takes the gross factor to a whole 'nother level.

Get in!!! I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me get this far, my mum and dad, who taught me the importance of tea, the people at Teadirect, who've made tea into some sort of righteous experience, my friends on whom I've been able to hone my craft.....

Darryl said...

Lol... trophy is in the mail, bro. As for Kiss... its cool, until I picture him singing it. He's just so... hairy.

*shudder*

My gay-ex boyfriend dragged me to a Prince concert once (yeah - I know). I have to say The Artist was pretty darn awesome. Skeeviness and all.
