I logged into my Toasted Cheese email account today and got quite a surprise.
Er…let me start at the beginning!
When I was taking German in high school, we signed up for penpals in other countries. We got extra credit for taking a German penpal, but were allowed to take others as well, just for fun.
In addition to my German penpal, I wrote to a girl from Italy and a boy from Australia. Of these three, the only one that really stuck was the Australian boy, whose name was Scott. We kept in regular contact throughout high school, and even a bit into college. We lost track of each other, and I always kind of wondered what happened to him.
Well, thanks to the magic of the Internet, I don’t have to wonder anymore! He located me on TC and wrote to find out if I was, in fact, the Erin that he used to write to.
How cool is that?
🙂
Damn that is cool 🙂
It’s a small world after all. (And not just because Disney animatronics say it’s so.)
Love your blog by the way, I found it recently and started lurking. Good stuffs. 🙂
CORRECTION…
“Holy crap on a cracker…”
I’m unfamiliar with this phrase.
Is it a B’low/WNY expression of surprise and amazement?
Could it be a culinary variant of the downstate expression ‘holy shit!’?
Holy crap on a cracker?? Is this a colloquialism from western New York or north central Pennsylvania? It is not one I am familiar with for sure. But I might use it someday and I want to know where to send the royalties.
I’m pretty sure I just made it up. However, if someone comes forward and says I stole it, I wouldn’t argue. 😉
