That is not my name!

Saturday, had lunch at Fires of Brazil with the roomie, C-note, and Herc. Speaking of, he apparently just got married. (Hercules Lee, not the roomie or C-note!) Anyways, good eating. And it was only $16.99 each. With prices going up overall, we were expecting it to be more, but I guess they're trying to stay competitive. Apparently they're doing some special on Father's day where they serve exotic meats. I mean, they're gonna do normal exotic, like elk, deer, and venison, but apparently they're doing alligator and kangaroo as well. We're tempted to try it out. I'm curious to see what kangaroo and gator taste like. And to be able to say I've eaten kangaroo and alligator.

Saw the latest Indy movie today with the usual suspects. The alien thing, I don't mind so much. Indy ending up in the middle of a nuclear testing site, hiding in a lead lined fridge that gets propelled through the air at 70+ mph (I'm assuming it was going at least that fast since it went flying past the ruskies in the jeep who were speeding away as fast as they could) by a nuclear blast wave and survives?! What the frak?!

The ant scene went on for way too long though. That seriously freaked the hell out of me. Owel, in any case, I shoulda figured out Shia Lebouf was Indy's son as he said his name was Mutt. I mean, just like Indy, he didn't go by his given name, but more importantly, Indy was the name of the dog. Dog, mutt, duh, it was so obvious.

After the movie, the roomie grilled up some steaks and chicken. C-note had bought some bacon for some reason, wanting the roomie to grill it, which just turned bad because it caused the grease pan to catch fire. Ended up throwing some baking soda over it to put it out. This was after he grilled the steaks. He did the chicken afterwards, but for some reason the grill wasn't getting as hot as he wanted it. Turned out to be a good thing though, because the chicken turned out frigging awesome. It was so delicious and juicy. Was it due to him cooking it at a lower temp for longer? Or did the bacon fire coat the inside of the grill with a thin layer of bacon grease that somehow made the chicken taste better when cooked in there?

Heh, I did not make the dog-mutt comparison. And I didn't so much mind the alien thing, it just seemed a little odd. I thought it was a perfectly ok movie, but probably the worst of the four. Shia < Short Round.

Alligator is pretty good. There is a cajun restaurant near the old SotP that serves gator burgers (or did a year ago). Awesome stuff.

Lol. I thought his name was Mudd! Like having to do with digging in dirt...

I was waiting for your review of the movie. Like your Dad I was surprised you hadn't seen it when it first came out, or at least before me.

Anyway, like I was discussing with 7500centfish... Who at first said it was alright... We both agree the whole alien thing was way less plausible than the others which had more plausible supernatural stuff happening in them.

I still think Indy is gonna die of cancer, even with the decontamination bath... But then, like I said in my LJ, how can he and Henry Sr. die if they drank from the cup of Christ!?!

I thought it was Mudd too at first. I was all, "He wants to be called 'Mudd'?!" But his jacket says "Mutt" on it.

As for the alien thing, I'm still curious how the hell that conquistador got away with the skull in the first place. Like, did the chamber always have the 13 skeletons sitting there? If so, why the hell did they let some guy run off with one of their heads if they had super psychic powers?!

As for the grail thing, I've always wondered that. But I think there are plenty of excuses. Perhaps its not you drink once and you have eternal life, but as long as you continue to drink from it? Or perhaps it only works in the confines of that place?
