on blinker's barley and mushroom soup
"don't goats eat barley?" -elisa
"and little-lambs-eat-ivy." -tyra
"horses eat barley. that means people shouldn't eat barley." -elisa
"i'm sure all kinds of animals eat mangoes when they can get ahold of them, but that's not going to stop me--them things are good!" -tyra
"mangoes don't look like barley." -elisa
(it's a notoriously bland stuff, just for the record, although i'm not convinced the barley, particularly its aesthetic, is to blame.)

I thought I was the only dork who knew old standards like that. Frightening.
Barley must be good, as it makes beer. That's what I say.

you're never the only dork with me around, sweets. as is exhibited by the fact that i spent as long again as writing that e-mail took deliberating over whether to spell out the lamb-line or do it phonetically. i wanted both to happen. in your head, they perfectly, exactly did.
