Snow, end of term, and I'm Knackered (or is it "nackered?")

The snow last night was pretty cool, but it just wasn't enough for a snow day today.  I did that above right when it started.  It came down for while, but around 4 or so, it just stopped.  I kept willing it to start up again,  but no dice.

Wonder of wonders, I've got yet another cold   Irritating  mostly, because I don't want to fly on Sunday with a stopped up ear.  Oh well, it's only about 2 hours and some change.

The other day I was in the store and did a double-take:

Okay, "Mr. Brain's" is bad enough, but wha'? 

I've heard  cigarettes called "fags" and small pieces of kindling called "faggots," but meatballs?  I had to take a closer look:

I don't know if you can read that, but at the bottom it talks about "faggot loving families."

Oh, the chuckles I got out of that.  And no one to share those chuckles with.  Of course I had to buy them.

So, I go home, figure they're like sausages and cook them up. 

I was wrong.  They were plain nasty.  Like mushy, wet bread flavored with a touch of sausage.

And, that's exactly what they were!  I looked at the ingredient list, and they were something like 4% pork and 50% Rusk.  Yeah, I didn't know what the hell that was either, so looked it up:

"a type of hard dry bread that babies and young children eat"

Ghee-row-sss!

I hate to waste food, but after two bites, the rest of those suckers went into the bin.   They were really horrid. 

However, I got a post out of 'em, and hopefully gave you all a chuckle.  I'm heading off to bed now.  Only two sleeps until Vienna!
