Tufted mole? I'm at a loss.

We both like bananas and potty humor!

Tufted moles are revolting, but I love coconut. Don't you have some hatred of roasted peppers as well or olives or something like that?

I think you mean that you hate SELF-Righteousness. Imagine that, a gay guy liking Bananas. I hate snow on any day that ends in a y.
I am going to have my first over 80 degree day this week for 2008. It is time to go Morel Mushroom hunting here. They are delicious. Ed

I assume that you mean self-righteousness (smugness?) and I concur. In my own experience those who are truly "righteous" are neither smug nor obnoxious. Their righteousness comes mixed with a large dose of grace and tolerance.

So flatulence at all other times is just ducky? Like, say, on a four-hour car ride? In December?

Doug said...

With flatulence, timing is key.

The cool thing about #1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 in your second list is they're all free. All you need is a source of free bananas.

On the flip side, everything on your first list is free. Even #6. But you don't like them.

Ah yes, the first snow of the season is beautiful. But the last snow? Gorgeous!

A Lewis said...

I was in the snow in my flip flops yesterday....a serious mix of the seasons!

The only thing worse than snow is April is having to shovel snow in April.

Cooper said...

Snow in April is obscene. Today we are supposed to have a few snow flurries, rain, clouds and sun. I no longer know how to dress for work. I just toss my rain gear, parka, fleece vest and gloves into the truck each morning.

Tufted mole? Must be unique to Montreal habitat. :)

I pretty much agree with all of these!

Like Cooper, we are also at a risk for snow and rain today. I am just going to huddle under a blanket with the dog and the fifth HP book. Fuck snow. I'm done.

I'll have to google tufted mole. No coconut? Shame, I love coconut. Actually, with you not eating any that means for for me. So Yay!

We had a hail storm today. Left an inch of ice. It's gone now.

Tufted mole sounds like some culinary dish Julia Childs would dream up. Let's see...is it a meat dish and how many wee moles does it take to serve 6-8 people? What does one serve with it, some sort of greens, I would imagine, and how does one "tuft" a mole?
( I envison a wee mole with an olive in its mouth on a plate of lettuce and radishes, not unlike roasting a pig with an apple in its mouth. ) Now that I've worn that thought out, I will stop, I promise.

I won't even start on the flatulence issue. ;)

I've never heard of tufted moles. Are the un-tufted moles cool with you? (going to google)

Does Serge have a beauty mark?

tufted mole? do you mean the furry little animal that burrows in the yard or the furry little animal that lives on people's faces? both are kind of gross.

Patrick said...

My question is, how do you feel about potty humor at mealtimes? And can potty humor include jokes about flatulence? What's our wiggle-room here?

Boy, do I need a life.

We just call them hairy moles. Unless I'm wrong about what you mean.

bardelf said...

I despise coconut, too, and love bananas.

Greg said...

So, I'm thinking that beans may not be an appropriate side-dish to serve with a Tufted Mole Souffle.

That's a great "likes" list.

Mark in DE said...

Lovely.

travelling, but not in love said...

All these self-righteous people telling you you got 'self-righteousness' wrong. Oh the irony.

I like your lists though, and approve all round. I too detest coconut and love bananas. And mealtime flatulence is just downright dirty.

And the first 70 degree day of spring is a day to celebrate. It was here a couple of weeks ago. Alas, it;s been downhill ever since...

I love lists that is. I never we take enough time in our lives to think about random things we like and don't like. Thanks for sharing!

Is there a place where you do like dog doo? It brings to mind the pic you shared with us in mid-winter where you shoveled only a small area for your pup to do his business. :-)

We had our first 70-degree day Sunday which was welcomed the day after returning from San Francisco.
