Vegemite, my lobe!

It became clear to me that tonight, I'd had no dinner. It was about 9:30pm, and I'd just finished IM'ing with the single most important person in my life, and I was like: hey, haven't eaten, but let's see what's in the fridge and get to it, shall we?

What was in the fridge was Vegemite. This extraordinary black, salty paste, used primarily as a toast/sandwich spread, is incomprehensible to anyone other than those among us who've been blessed to have spent at least some of our collective childhood in Australia. For there, you see, Vegemite is as important as breathing. It's like...peanut butter...but with religious overtones.

So, the Vegemite. Toast made, butter liberally spread, Vegemite ladled atop, and all is well with your Nigel.

I love Vegemite. I want to continue to eat it till I die. I have eaten Vegemite since I was a little, tiny boy, and nothing makes me feel as good as chomping on a Vegemite sandwich or Vegemite on toast or whatever. I have little in my life that provides me as much pleasure. And I don't care what others amongst us might think of it.

I am loyal, and steadfast, and also not a fool. When I find something wonderful, and joyful, and personally important, and really, really tasty, and something that can give me supreme sublime happiness, well...and I don't mean to be weird here...I stick with it.

btw, and for those who need further illumination: my Vegemite story, while true, is but an allegory, shlubbies.

Be as weird as you want, Nige. I can't take my eyes off the Vegemite model in the picture. I'm going to Google for her now and see if she gets my blood flowing.

Did I say that out loud? Oh well. So I'm a little weird.
