The Misadventures of Ian in the States: Over the Hedge, Pizza, Oysters and Fireworks!

29/June/2006

I went to the cinema with my Dad and half sister to go and watch Over the Hedge, when I first heard of this; I wasn't too sure if it was that good. But it was a pretty damn funny film. The Squirrel made me laugh the most "Let's call it Steve! Steve's a pretty name!".

I stayed round my cousin Lucas' house for a few hours and we descide to order, thing was I did the honour of odering the pizza over the phone. Trust me on this one! if you don't have the native accent of this country, never ever order stuff over the phone! The reaction you'll get is either; "huh", "what?" and "can you spell that out please". So yeah, I was on the phone for longer then I expected, and to think that Americans speak English, you'd think they should understand you. My Conclusion: Not quite...

Some of my Step Mum's friends came over, and they brought a heap of food with them, half of which was living!!! My Dad help to cook the shrimp that we had to decapicate and rip the legs ourcelves; as grusome as it was, it was pretty good to eat with this chili and tomato sause stuff, it was like Salsa, but much thicker. Then... Roy, one of Sarah's friends told me that I should try an oyster, and my stomache turned inside out, back, and inside out again. So there I was looking at this grey blob on my dish covered in the thick salsa, and on a cracker, and I took several swigs of vodka and then tried to eat this horrid blob thing to then puke it all up (and a little of my dinner...) in the nearest bathroom toilet. Trust me Kids, don't eat oysters!
