Misinterpretation and Negotiation

Jun 13, 2009 18:03

Jenn emailed me on Friday last week. "Hey, if that wasn't just a fun story on your blog and you actually couldn't get your hands on wings, I can pick some up at the market when I go this afternoon and bring them with me ( Read more... )

Hahaha, oh Graeme's friends. Those poor bastards. I hope that evening turned out to be a valuable learning experience for them. In case not, always remember: although fel magicks compel him to never speak a lie, the truth he says is not always the truth you hear.

This is not to say that I'm associating with people who are gullible or otherwise unintelligent, you understand. They just haven't gotten a feel for when I'm bullshitting them. They'll get the hang of it eventually, I'm sure.

I think I was only fooled by the mustache-twirling part. I'm still annoyed that that wasn't true, btw.

Another conversation from the chicken wing night backguy June 14 2009, 05:11:54 UTC

Graeme: Dude, you know that I was joking there, right?

Me: After knowing you for this long, I've basically learnt to not believe anything you say.

Graeme: {nodding} Good call.

Uh oh, I said it was a good idea not to believe anything I said and you believed me? We have some sort of paradox situation here.

Re: Another conversation from the chicken wing night backguy June 14 2009, 14:09:45 UTC

It's not even that you have to believe/not believe anything he says. It's more a process of dismissal. You let the lies flow over you like dandylion fluff on a windy day, and pick out the bits that you think might be relevant later to scrutinize them a little more closely.
Hilariously, and rather appropriately, the chick on the Food Network right now is making chicken wings. Her style involves putting them into a massive paper bag and shaking them around. I feel like Alton Brown might be more... shall we say, classy?

That sounds very Zen.

You never answered the question.

Can we look forward to a roast chicken night in the future?

theenforcer June 15 2009, 02:45:14 UTC

I actually couldn't remember if you'd really asked me that. I did mention that it was after a couple of drinks.

Anyway, the answer is: probably not, unless you have a magical roasting technique that lets me roast chicken and sides for ten people in a single oven after I get home from work but before people get hungry. If I had a bigger oven or more time, I would certainly consider it. Now that I've done wings twice, though, aren't these things cyclical? I think fondue is supposed to be next.

anonymous June 15 2009, 03:33:52 UTC

Totally irrelevant, since I'm not going to be there for it, but I have never actually had fondue. Regular or chocolate, although chocolate would make me barf. Is that weird? Do you have fondue forks?
Sam

theenforcer June 15 2009, 05:00:42 UTC

No, that's not weird. Nobody eats fondue anymore because it's not 1975. Yes, I have fondue forks and a fondue pot. Fondue is delicious and awesome.

The Real Kicker Here... anonymous July 9 2009, 21:24:36 UTC

... Is that if we assume you're just lying AGAIN and this Jenn person doesn't exist, you've actually used a second layer of fabrications to create something that uses lies to make statements about lying and to reveal the gullibility in all of us.

I mean, it does that if we assume Jenn exists. I'm going to assume this is just some Andy Warhol shit and she in fact does not.

Well played, sir - well /played/...
