David: God, whoever wrote this is way too into Ritter Sport.
David: Also, “sport”?
David: It’s a fucking chocolate bar.

Chris: oh god, i didn’t realise this new beowulf movie was all 3D
David: Holy shit, seriously?

  1. Didn’t notice existence of teapot, so didn’t boil enough water to fill teapot.
  2. Poured water into teapot, forgot about it for an hour, brewed very strong tea.
  3. Poured very strong tea into cup, forgot about it for half an hour, tea got cold.
  4. Impressed by insulating qualities of teapot, poured second cup of still-just-about-warm tea into cup, forgot teapot has no built-in strainer, poured too violently, got half a mug of tea leaves.
  5. Emptying cup into sink, forgot that the very purpose of this emptying was to remove tea leaves from cup, covered sink with tea leaves.
  6. First successful cup of tea, missed mouth, poured on self.
