I am a weirdo. Evidence to support this theory:
1) Salted Pollock Roe.
We went to an Asian store and got some sushi supplies, including this silliness. It taste awful. It’s salty and when Gordon smelled it, he said it had to taste like bait.
He isn’t very far off.
I can’t stop eating it. We used to get it back in Russia – it was nasty and salty then too – and every time I eat it, I go back 20 years. I will eat it all before the week ends. :sigh:
2) Mail.
Me, surveying the accounts much depleted post-move: We should check the mail.
Gordon: Why?
Me: There might be money in it.
Now, I’m not actually expecting any money. We’re not due any money until the middle of next month, and even then, it’s royalty money, so there might not be any actual money in it. I just have this magical hope that there might be money in the mail.
3) Dhoom 2.
Kid 1 got a game for her DS and the battle riff for it reminds me of Dhoom 2 theme song. She battles a lot, so I wander around the house, singing Dhoom 2 theme off key. It’s so bad, I rented it on Netflix again.
I now inflict it on you. Suffer, dudes.
I’m asking my grandmother and aunt if they know of any Romanian curses. Holy mother of.. @#@&#.
It’s kind of like…. “The song that never ends.”

Horrible and hard to get out of your head. Thanks for sharing. =|
Roflol – ah yes, the mad love of food items introduced in childhood that others cannot comprehend.
I have a love of baked marrow stuffed with mince that my other half swears is the most repulsive and yucky dinner ever invented. Eating it takes me back to helping my dad do the gardening and eating the marrows that we grew for ourselves, that mum baked in the same way.
As for the Dhoom 2 song – we regularly eat at a fantastic Indian restaurant close to where we live. They have a big projector screen which plays videos of songs like this continuously while people eat, the songs are catchy, funny and great to watch.
I eat candy corn during Halloween. It taste like wax I don’t like it but I eat it because it reminds me of my mom and we would always eat it during Halloween. Go figure, we all are strange.
That felt very Bollywood meets Prince of Persia for some reason……
I love home made pimento cheese. It’s something I grew up with, and shmoo thinks it’s the most awful thing I’ve ever tried to make him eat.
Its Hrithik Roshan and his six fingered hotness that does that.
Erk! My hears! Poor you! Lol
And for the food… For me it’s home made cookies and chocolate cake. I can’t stop eat it, ever if I know I should.
So I’ve never heard of Dhoom 2, or 1 for that matter, but if hottie in red vest doesn’t have a shirt on for the whole movie, I’m renting.
I often check the mail for things I might have ordered online and forgot about. Usually books.
And can you believ more than 1,000 entries in the contest? Wow!
Hrithik Roshan. He is an excellent dancer. Also in superhero version: http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2006/06/23/images/2006062300540201.jpg
Superhero version = awesome! Too funny!
Hrithik Roshan…man, he is one super hot dude! his wife is one lucky lady.
Gordon’s got a hot bod too…lucky u! hehehe ;-P
btw Gordon, what’s yr secret? I heard u gotta take supplements to achieve rippling abds. Anything that’s natural based? Hubby’s into getting a hot bod too…any tips?
thanks and cheers.
Something tells me Hrithik Roshan does not like women.
He’s married. I assume she’s not a beard. It’s a stupid costume for a movie, and a stupid pose, I think you might safely blame the director / costume designer / photographer for that picture.
Though I think his dad might have directed / produced that movie.
Hrithik is awesome. I love both movies and I thought his superhero shtick was super cool.
He’s Indian, there’s less hangups about acting a little gay. Holding hands with guys etc etc
There’s no real exotic in Grand Rapids, MI, so my eating habits growing up were completely pedestrian. It’s only now that I want to try it all! As for the song, I say to you, “It’s a small world, after all, it’s a small, small world…”
Just when I think I couldn’t love you more, you say you love Dhoom 2. I LOVE Dhoom 2, it’s so nice and fluffy, yet fun, + Hrithik dancing !! It’s one of the few Hindi movie DVDs I bought after seeing it in the theatre (I nearly wrote hall there).
Also, I’m not sure how Gordon knows what bait would taste like?
Why did I not hear of the wonder of Dhoom before this? Must rent!
As I have said before I grew up poor in the mountains of western NC, for us bait is like sushi. Also it is a nice change from bear and squirrel meat.
B-b-ear meat? D:
*grew up with the story that smoky the bear was invincible*
Ah, sorry I didn’t make the connection, Gordon. Thanks for the clarification.
In one of my previous lives I was a bartender and I could not get enough of anchovy- stuffed olives! Talk about salty bait, yum. Oh and hey, thanks for the Dhoom earworm….it was pretty bad.
mmmmmmm cuttlefish!
I love Dhoom 2! It has some awesome dancing sequences.
Is this kind of like my husband eating sardines in mustard sauce? I almost like them…almost. I do like smoked fish of all kinds though. In the upper peninsula of Michigan they have the BEST smoked whitefish. I could eat it everyday. Add cheddar cheese and crackers for a lunch. Mmmm or French bread. Man, I am too far away from the bridge to get any. Crud.
I have not heard of Dhoom…must go to Netflix now. On mail: I actually get angry if there isn’t either a book, a check or a good report card:)
Never knew that movie existed. Love the music (don’t know how long it will last and when it will start to annoy me
I have this urge to dance … *wiggles*
ewwwwww, I am so not a raw fish person. On our honeymoon, I booked us a trip to Nova Scotia, gorgeous place, all rustic and on a lake. Turns out they ONLY serve seafood, and most of it was Raw or Smoked. I lived on Salad and Soup for our entire trip
The battle music sounds like that? I’d keep expecting everyone to stop fighting and break out dancing at any moment
I loved the song, and the dancing was good too. I am obssessive about reading/watching thing in proper order, so is Dhoom 1 good? I looked on the internet, but I trust your opinion more. Reviewers aren’t always right (Blind Side, awesome movies reviewers didn’t like) Can’t think of any odd foods except maybe I like biscuits that are still goey in the center and my mom calls that wierd. ::shrugs:: It is good.
Wow that does sound like a song that replays in your head constantly …
*stares into space*
Omigawd NO!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ha, I love sushi! Its like…an asian pizza roll, but instead of pizza sauce…asian type food…yea horrible analogy, but yummy regardless!
I was the kid that bathe everything in soy sauce.
I eat soy sauce with soy sauce.

You should reverse psychology the mail money. Shout that you will never recieve the money payment in the mail, then secretly ninja yourself out to check in the middle of the night. lol
For me it is the Cadbury eggs. I buy a ton because I know it is just once a year (Easter time) that I can get them… the gooey inside is sickening sweet and the milk chocolate egg is sooo rich, but I can’t stop. I love them and will troll the candy isle until they disappear from store shelves.
Livermush- my dad would fix this all the time. I thought this was normal breakfast food: (Would you like bacon, sausage, or livermush with your eggs?)
Fish roe- I think this is how you spell it. My mother would fix this for breakfast on special occassions. It involves fish eggs, chicken eggs, salt, and lots of pepper. I thought it was gourmet food. It really is not.
Re the magical hopes of money-in-the-mail…
We’re positive our cat thinks his food comes from a magical cupboard, which can never be depleted. (Why? Because it’s *magic*, silly!) Same goes for our employees, who all seem to think that regardless of how much they work (or, erm, *don’t* work), that the same windfall of money is always present in the magical cupboard.
Yep, we’re all suckers for the magic.
The Dhoom song reminds me of the Oompa Loompa songs in Tim Burton’s CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.
Best parts of the movie, fyi.
a little salty nastiness seems a small price to pay for feeling 20 years younger
It’s getting harder for me to move things into long-term memory these days. Buffers full? A blessing, when it comes to potential earworms.
There’s a nasty salty black greasy-looking substance that I’ve never tasted in my life. It’s an Aussie icon. Maybe I should get around to trying Vegemite some time; I’ve been here 12 years already, and there’s this nagging feeling that I’m missing out on something. Or then again, avoidance might be a much better strategy. After all, I wouldn’t want to go to Sardinia and try casu marzu either…
I grew up eating menudo and I love it, my husband thinks it is the nastiest thing ever
Dried squid. My dad was stationed in Japan when I was 6 weeks- 4 years, and this was a favorite snack food for me. I found the right kind a couple of times here in the states, but hubby can’t stand the taste or the fishy smell when I eat it. (Also the reason I don’t have black licorice – which I LOVE – unless he is out of town.)
I listened to less than 1 minute of the song – definitely not my kind of music. If someone were going around my house singing it, I would have to commit violence. Must go listen to something with screaming guitars to scrub it out of my head.
Dried squid? Yummy!
I LOVE dried squid. It, along with dried pork/beef and mangos, are the best snacks in the world. But then I am asian, so…yeah.
My dad used to feed me this pinkish Greek caviar when I was a kid, he still likes to slather it on everything when I go home to visit and I still choke it down because…hey its tradition. =)
dhoom 2.. really?..lol first was bad.. second i didnt even try watching.. lol
I’m not sure if that music was brilliant or evil. Will ponder and get back to you depending on how long it earbugs me!
My horrific food addiction? Shortening and sugar sandwiches. LOL. Makes everyone run away screaming at the mere thought. I had to have them regularly until I was around 8; so it harks back to young years and parental warm and fuzzies. (I wasn’t absorbing enough calories through regular food, so this was a diet supplement – although it feels abnormal now to consider anything based on shorting and sugar nutritious… but at the time, what good stuff!)
Hritik Roshan is a very pretty man. However, my favorite Bollywood actor is still Shahahrukh Khan. He’s amazing, even though i swear he has at least one scene in every movie where he has to cry. I’m thinking of making a drinking game to it.
I now have this song’s refrain stuck in my head. I can’t decide if it is better or worse than the Tigger song from Winnie the Pooh.
Gods! My eyes, my ears…They did suffer!
Hehe, I’m mad about russian “shooba” salad, just can’t get enough of it when I have a chance, and my husband finds it the most revolting meal ever 
) He’ll eat all the veggies but wouldn’t touch salty herring on the bottom 
))
Hritik Roshan does look good. i love dhoom 2, its funny has some great dance moves and some hot actors, not just Hritik.
He stole his dance moves from here: I don’thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx64_N4AA04 and come to think of it, throw a long wig and a bandana on him…Rico Suave is that you? Could be! I think he is doing the “running man” at the start of the video, but they don’t show us his legs, it would be a dead “90′s” give away.
There is a huge amount of skill difference between Roshan and Rico. What Roshan does took decades of training. (And this is a former ballet dancer talking.) The ease of dancing, the strength, the surety of movement all of that takes skill. Rico is a cheap knock-off.
I can’t believe you would even say that.
Here some more examples of the Hrithik dancing.
Brazilian carnaval: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNMh_xkzOM
Circus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aptUzBT2Aqo
Fight scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exyUupwwoL8
Sorry but, also as a former ballet dancer talking, Hrithik really looks like he is doing the running man at the start of the video.
But yes, I agree Hrithik has actual skill as opposed to Rico who has one claim to fame – being a spanish Fabio with a “lil pip”. But did you notice Rico has a line about eating sushi in his idiotic song? It reminded me of your story above. I hope you you didn’t take me seriously? 
LOL. No, not really.
I’m still laughing at the fact you gave us 3 valid points complete with evidence as to why you are a weirdo!
I have never heard of Dhoom 1 or 2 I was sure this was a good thing but now a few people have said they have I’m thinking its not such a good thing after all??
Ick to the fish but I can completely understand why you would want to check if there was money in the post – you just never know!!
I will have to watch those movies
So what game is she playing
Pig liver steamed with garlic and spring onions. That is one of my top 3 favorite dishes. Maybe because my grandma used to make it for me all the time. My family and friends tend to avoid it ’cause apparently it’s gross and I’m insane. Pfft. Wussies.
Well, I KNOW that you will have royalty on at least 2 books. I re-purchased the first 2 Magic books so I would have them on my Kindle.
couldn’t comment on other post, but wachovia is wells fargo now. I got a notice in mail.
Funny! I didn’t know Russians ate this. Next time, you might want to try it Asian style with a slight drizzling of sesame seed oil, sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions/green onions.
