Too Many Cooks

Lunch report

There has been a request for a review of the Stonesoup lunch, but I don’t think I’m the person to write it. See, I didn’t actually understand any of it. Someone started talking about breasts with people growing out of them, and my mind went into a massive tailspin. Ysghhwhat?! It took me several minutes to recover, and by the time I crawled back into the conversation, someone was saying “imagine if you were a lesbian separatist and you had male breasts…” At that point I gave up on trying to understand, and just concentrated on holding the pieces of my brain together and not screaming.

But, to be fair, lunch did have some pleasant moments (before people started hurling breasts around). Toni was there, and it was nice to put a face to another blog. Carla was upgraded to blogger status (she attended the last lunch as an official lurker). Kim wasn’t there, but luckily we’re getting better at managing problems on our own. A bottle of beer was accidentally deleted, there was difficulty downloading the smoothie, and the pepper plugins proved hard to remove… but did we panic, run to the nearest cyber cafe and email Kim? No. We remained calm and dealt with the situation. Mostly by hurling good natured insults at each other and anyone else within throwing range. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, pleasant moments. Eating and drinking and much merriment. Acutally, I’m not sure if it could really be called a Stonesoup lunch, because 1/3 of the people there were not Stonesoupers (unless one of them was Kitty Lifter undercover). Nonetheless I highly recommend it. You should go next time.
