On cravings and balls

It started with a mild prodding based on a fellow FB'er's status message re: getting Chinese for her birthday supper. It intensified with the increasing hunger in my belly. It became clearly evident that my craving needed to be quelched. I needed eggrolls. When the King of Queens started and the first scene panned to Doug participating in a eggroll eating contest, I figured it was a sign from a higher power.

So the following MSN exchange ensued (bear in mind that the two of us, yes, were in the same house. Yes. We do live in a small home...within shouting distance between rooms... yet, we still communicate via MSN between our respective laptops. Call it nostalgic. Or lazy.). I've taken the liberty of censoring the bad words:

A: I'm craving eggrolls
so. Chinese?
or at least eggrolls?
....
You have just sent a nudge.
....
A: hellllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
C: go get'em

A: who's in our freezer?
f#@k that seals it
KoQ has an eggroll eating contest

....

I'm not getting you any...
....
You have just sent a nudge.
....

A: and 5 eggrolls will help?

A: pardon? {"BALLS"...in a rather pained tone...}

C: and chicken balls
A: I asked you THREE times

you'd better eat every freaking ball.

C: i love balls

A: I mean 1 or 2

Incidentally as I was typing this the Dragon's Den was on, and the first entrepreneur was pitching a ball bra (he didn'g get help from the Dragons). And incidentally, Chris only got a half order of chicken balls. And, I ate 1.

My craving was sated. And, Chris still loves me.
