    Rocket is another word for Arugala, for anybody else who knows that green by the latter name and is confused AF by “rocket salad”

        Let me get stoned again.

        Yeah, I had a family dinner there, it used to be one of my favourite places to eat in ______. I ordered a sirloin, which was perfect, I also ordered an extra side salad of rocket, but all I got were a few strands on my sirloin plate instead of as a salad on a separate plate like I was used to, when I tried to ask why it didn’t come as a side salad on its own plate, the manager interjected to inform me that they have always served the sides like that, it is how they serve them.

    He just wanted a proper rocket salad on the side, it’s not hard like… well, I’m drawing a blank, but some kind of really complicated science.

    Often i read the contents before I check which comm it’s in, if at all. That shit really fucks me up sometimes. I’ll be reading something in German and my brain won’t let go, it says “don’t worry I’ll sort that shit out” but it can’t. I fucking read this three times before i checked the comm thinking there is something wrong with me.

        Mom knew a little and taught me even less. Bare with me here as I’m positively going to butcher this as I’m spelling phonetically using my admittedly poor english skills to write using my non existent german skill. Plus I’ve had a few beers at lunch.

        This reminds me of a french girl I met while traveling. I asked her how to say praying mantis in french. She said something like monte religious. So I said monte religious. She gasped and said “YOU BUTCHER”! " Don’t speak my language".

        I instantly fell in love.

          Ich habe einen Plattenspieler. I’ve got a vinyl record player.

          Not bad, not bad at all. I understood it on the first read.
