pturner:

Let me start this post by saying that growing up I was never a Florida State fan. I grew up in a University of Michigan/Michigan State/Notre Dame house hold. I was never really a fan of U of M or MSU but I have always liked ND and this by default made me despise University of Miami. I moved to Florida 14 years ago and eventually married a Seminole who has tons of Seminole friends. Going to games at first and “rooting” for FSU was a struggle…even with tons of Crown & Ginger in my system. Over time I realized that not only are FSU fans awesome to hang out with but the games are a ton of fun to watch. Doak Campbell Stadium is the nicest I have ever been in on the college level and is nicer than most pro stadiums I have been in. I still despise Miami and anything related to it.

We usually go to a couple games a year and we take the kids to at least one or two. They love the tailgating, hanging out around campus, visiting the bookstores, checking out the crazy college kids, etc. We usually get a spot infront of the stadium early and pull out a buffet of food and booze. The boys run around with other kids playing catch, watching the band and stuffing themselves with junk food. I guess you can say we are indoctrinating them.

Fridays are the happiest days at MindComet, but not because they mark the end of the work week. Early Friday morning, the overhead speakers are turned up a little louder that normal and Pandora floods our office with high energy disco, top 40 and pop! When “Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough,” (our official theme song,) comes on the MindComet choir belts along with “Whhoooooo’s” and random dancing. It’s a beautiful thing!

Scotch eggs. If you haven’t had them yet, they are bloody awesome. DW introduced me to this British culinary staple and it was love at first bite. A hard boiled egg wrapped in pork sausage, breadded then quickly fried—what’s not to savor?! Strangely, I found this photo on @RealShamu’s Twitpic page. Do whales eat sausage?
