Food Themed Activity, Nonsense Song Lyrics

On Saturday morning, I was talking with Brittany about food (I know, what else is new) and I realized somehow during our conversation that I craved a hamburger. Not just any hamburger, I might add, but what I really wanted was an angus beef burger cooked medium well with blue cheese stuffed in the center, bacon and cheddar on top with some tomato, potato chips and possible some of that orange salad dressing. YUM! Anyhow, the chances of me finding that were slim, but a good cheeseburger was definitely attainable so we set off for Manhattan.

On our way to the subway we passed the farmer's market, so we had to stop and get a cider donut (duh). After that brief interruption we were on track again. Upon arriving in Manhattan, we went to our favorite burger place/general dining facility where we saw a semi-celebrity/person only I would have recognized which made my day.

Next we needed to stop at the bookstore because when a bookstore is right there, you just have to go in. After the bookstore, we wandered towards a Japanese food store so we could get stuff to make sushi, but on our way there we got distracted and bought s'more making supplies and a shower curtain.

Long story short, our day yesterday consisted of 3 bookshops, a hamburger joint, 2 farmer's markets, a Japanese market, 2 groceries, one deli, and the discovery of a "pizza by the pound" restaurant. If that's not the perfect day, I don't know what is.

• On a different note, I am collecting songs with nonsense lyrics in them. For example: Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison (Do you remember when, we use to sing... sha la la lalala etc.) or Hey Jude by the Beatles (Naaa, na, na, na-na-na, naaa! Na-na-na naaa! Het Jude...). Please suggest some songs if you know any good ones. Songs from any era are acceptable, so long as the lyrics are fitting. •

You are so right! The thought didn't even enter my mind, which might indeed be a very good thing. ;-)

Good call on the new Matchbox twenty song. I'll look into the other one.
