A Mildly Food-Related Conversation I Had a Few Minutes Ago

[Alternative title: My Roommate Is Awesomer Than Yours]

Tristan: ROBYN, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD PUN! COME OVER HERE!

Me: [shuffles over to Tristan's room] ...Ok. What is it?

Tristan: If you don't have San Pellegrino, then you're SANS Pellegrino!!! [wide open-mouthed smile]

Me: [twisted facial expression of amusement and horror] [laughter] That's terrible.

Tristan: SANS PELLEGRINO!!

Me: I actually have Pellegrino in the fridge.

Tristan: [straight face] Fuck you...mom.

LOL... ok that made me snort. It is twice as funny because you described eachothers facial expressions. :-)

Posted by: Lauren at June 29, 2008 10:05 PM [#]

OH THE WIT.

I actually laughed.

Posted by: Allen at June 29, 2008 10:45 PM [#]

The only thing that would have made this pun better would be a slap on the knee, followed by GET IT?! GET?! (or at least thats how I usually do it ^___^)

hahaha. nice. gotta love the sweet dynamics of roomies.

Tristan: Your mind works in mysterious ways.

Joyces: IT'S TRUE!!!@#!

Lauren: If I had taken photos of this conversation and put them here, this post would've been even better!

Allen: When Allen laughs, it's gotta be good.

Olia: Oh, if only it had happened that way. I don't think there was any knee slapping...doh! Now I have to see you tell a pun. :)

Amblus: YOU HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION FROM ME FIRST...okay, you seem cool.

Carl: OH NO THAT ONE IS TERRIBLE AS WELL, AHHHH HAHAHAH wait, I laffed.

Danny: Ohh, you don't know the half of it. Or the tenth of it. Our weirdness knows no bounds. I should probably explain that Tristan says, "Fuck you, mom," a lot to me. It's one of those...things.

I want to sleep over, just to experience the awesomeness of you both in person.

My husband says stuff like that all the time. Coincidence that we're from Charlottesville?

You guys make me hungry.

Posted by: J F at June 30, 2008 9:21 PM [#]

your roommate is awesomer than mine.
wow.

Posted by: june at July 1, 2008 8:16 AM [#]

Steph: We do have a couch for guests...! ;)

We're not that awesome in person though. I just magnify it for the internets.

J F: AHH, IT'S A VIRGINIA THING!!

June: AHAHA and my alternative title tells the truth.

Posted by: roboppy [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 1, 2008 9:08 AM [#]

You should never keep a good pun down! oh, and: Hai!

Posted by: kaare [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 1, 2008 2:45 PM [#]

I don't know, I thought it was pretty funny :-)

Posted by: Cakespy at July 1, 2008 9:42 PM [#]

Cakespy: Oh, I did laugh a bit, I'm probably harder on Tristan than other people. He can take the abuse. Hehehe.

Posted by: roboppy [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 2, 2008 9:03 AM [#]

"AHH, IT'S A VIRGINIA THING!!"

I'm also from Virginia so you may be on to something.

Posted by: Amblus at July 2, 2008 4:39 PM [#]

LOL, that really was funny! Even more funny that I happen to be sans Pellegrino at the moment. =D

Posted by: Christina at July 6, 2008 12:56 PM [#]

the fridge :>

I'll probably reply to your comment on this page. If you have something to ask me that's unrelated to this entry, please email me instead.

After you post a comment, please wait a while before checking if it has been posted. People frequently post the same comment twice by accident. I know that this has to do with the way my site sluggishly handles comments; Dreamhost probably put me on a pooptastic server. If you have any idea how to make MT speed things up, please let me know!

Help out roboppy?

If you do want to help me out monetarily, here are some easy non-obtrusive ways to give back:

- Buy stuff through my amazon ID!: This is the BEST WAY to help me out without throwing money at my feet. I buy most of my material goods from amazon.com, and it would help me shittons if you bought stuff through my link. I don't get much per order, but the referral fees can add up.
- buy t-shirts through my Threadless Street Team thinger!
- Get webhosting with Dreamhost.com and enter roboppy@gmail.com as the referral

You need stuff from amazon.com and you should buy t-shirts from threadless (I've been somewhat loyal to them for the past five years). Thank you for making sure I don't resort to pan-handling and robbery!

photo info!

another camera
Canon 20D

The Canon 20D with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC macro lens is my main camera as of August 2007, although I used to use the Rebel XT before that...and the SD 450 before the summer of 2006. You should also know that I "post process" all my photos in Photoshop to make them suck less. Of course, you need a camera to take semi-decent photos first (it has a good macro mode), but without photoshop, I am nothing.
