Pink Dream Socks & People Soup

I fully intended to knit on my Pink Dream socks last night. They were in the other room and let's be honest I can only do so much and I was watching Hero's and petting the worlds most adorable kitty cat.

Love that kitty cat so much.

Love Hero's too. All the Star Trek jokes leave me giggling like mad. Did anyone else catch the license plate number on Hiro's Dad's (George Takei aka Mr. Sulu) car as it pulled away last week. Oh yeah baby, "NCC 1701". *GRIN*

I think I may have outed myself as a geek on that one. Granted I have no idea how many of you even get the reference in the first place. So maybe not.

Anyhoo yeah last night I had fun watching that show and petting the kitty while snuggling up to the honey.

Hey R, see you can post about TV stuff if you don't want to talk about other stuff. ;^)

So what if I didn't knit on my socks. I'm still happy with them. Here are some progress photos. Clickety Biggety!

I call these my Pink Dream Socks because they are just a dream to knit up. The yarn is brilliant and the pattern is pretty nifty too. Total joy to knit. When I'm not all dead that is. *makes a zombie face*

So that's my Tuesday Cabin Cove KAL Update. *waves @ Cookie* I bet she was wondering when I'd post an update. :P

Now I really must talk to you about People Soup.

People Soup is the worst kind of soup imaginable, and I can think of some pretty gross things too. Like Puppy Brains Soup or Donkey Butt Soup with toasted maggot sprinkles. See that's gross. o.0

BUT NOTHING IS AS GROSS AS PEOPLE SOUP! *icky shudder*

I just know you are all dyeing to know what the hell people soup is right? :P

First a little back story. See I've been being, well trying to be a more healthful minded Otter. As you know I joined a different gym. A real gym with all manner of complicated torture devices rather than the womens only gossip fest that was my previous gym. So's anyway I've been going fairly regularly. Doing lots of different things including swimming. I'm an Otter and I love water so it was just natural.

So when the honey and I were on vacation we got into the hotels fancy jacuzzi thingy and had fun relaxing in that. This is were I first coined the phrase "People Soup". It was a very nice setup, clean and not really soupy, but when we got in and started marinating in the hot bubbly waters all I could think was PEOPLE SOUP! Said with the enthusiasm one might say SOYLENT GREEN (It's People!!) if you're wandering.

So anyway it was funny ha ha. Didn't think much of it after that... until I went to my new Gym's Jacuzzi Thingy which is right by the pool. I had just swam a lot and thought it might be relaxing. Eh no. All I could think was PEOPLE SOUP! o.0

I icked myself out thinking about how many people a day marinated themselves in that very same water. I got out quickly thinking how ass nasty that was. The pool is one thing, but hoping into a pot of People Soup is another. o.0

Last week I mentioned it to Rachel when we went to the Gym together. I was teasing her saying if she was good I'd let her hop into the People Soup. Turns out people like her, ya know all cute n' glowy can't hop into People Soup anyway so she was saved.

Then last night I went to the Aquafit class thingy.  It was kinda fun. I laughed a lot. Mostly cause I'm a dork. :P So anyway after class some of the ladies invited me to the Jacuzzi. Uh Oh, People Soup.

They all got in first. I started to get in, even though every fiber of my being was screaming PEOPLE SOUP!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!, but I was trying to place nice.

That's when I saw it. Saw the true Horror of People Soup. See you can't marinate people all together in one big bath like that without some horrible consequence. Was it the swamp monster come to life? No. Was a dead body found stuck to the bottom of the drain pipe? No.

Worse than those things. Much worse.

It was BROWN FOAM. o.0 (well brownish, but brown enough!!! *GAGS*)

What the Fuck? What is the brown foam?!?!

I don't really wanna know. I don't. I don't think I could handle that truth. o.0

As soon as I saw it I did the only thing I could think of, saved my own ass. I quickly made the excuse of needing to get going. (which I really did) I ran to the shower room and became one with the soap. Sadly they don't make brain soap and I can still recall just how nasty that People Soup was.

The ladies all got into the People Soup and seemed very content, btw. Maybe the foam is a normal thing. I don't know. (I did tell the gym people and they said they'd look into it) I don't ever want that to become normal to me though. So Just Say No to People Soup!

See I told ya it was vile and icky, right on the level comparable to Donkey Butt Soup with toasted maggot sprinkles. o.0 Thankfully the Donkey Soup doesn't actually exist.

But we know the truth about People Soup. *icky shudder*

Just a thought.

I LOVE that pattern! Nice choice. I'm loving my Dave yarn. Hopefully I can get a picture up in time for the update.

Cookie -Then she would have Otter Soup!

Ok. First thing I thought of at the brown foam...made me think of when I was a kid, my cousin told me that his younger brother tried to see what farts looked like once...I asked what the answer was, and he said brown bubbles. Thank you for resurrecting that memory, and ruining me for hot tubs :(

TOTALLY got the NCC-1701 reference! I'm a trekker too.

[Teri]

Heh. I got the NCC-1701 reference (I don't watch Heroes, though) but not because I'm a huge Star Trek fan. My husband is. And for Christmas I got him the Animated Star Trek series and for Valentines Day he got the complete three-season set of the Original Series. *smile*

The socks are lovely! And people soup is the very reason I avoid the whirlpool at the YMCA where I swim. It's just NASTY... LOL!

[Dave Daniels]

I've GOT to watch TV with you. I missed the license plate completely. Maybe someone was was talking at the time, as usual... HERO is a great show.
Soylent Green? I've never met anyone else who's seen the movie, other than myself. Mmmm, green crunchy biscuits. (You'd probably like FARENHEIT 451. Not sure on that spelling.)
Those socks are adorable, but isn't that lace weight yarn???

[Isela]

eeek, people soup, I will never forget that now.

[Vikkie aka Victoria]

Ok...brown foam is not normal...eww thats all I will say on that subject lol..

yes you outed yourself lol...but knowing you outed yourself means that I am also outing myself...I watched that episode of Heros but didn't see the license plate thing...lol...I did get all the trek reference though, I thought it was great!
