"Sober" remarks…
Thanks to rvs for a wonderful evening!
As we were both on call, or “24/7″ as it’s called where he works, we didn’t drink a drop of alcohol (nor any drinks that contained any ;-) )
Quotes for the evening:
(About my deductive skills) “Girls are like OSPF in that way.”
About our former boss we came to “Zoals de waard is vertrouwd hij zijn medewerkers”, literally translated, “Like the innkeeper is, he trusts his employees”, about the man in question being convinced that the two of us were involved. (And no Willem, rvs doesn’t know what the bloody concert was like, he wasn’t bloody there, we just left the restaurant together because we both had to leave! :-) )
“This project is in the damned corner”, a translation of “Dit project staat in het verdomhoekje”, meaning the project didn’t get any attention. (Lovely Dunglish)
As read in an sms from him to me… “New rabbit? Fresh install or fork?” (Still makes me chuckle every time I read it_)
And last but not least… “Eating wasabi is like having your skull lifted, electrodes attached to your brain, having that drenched in vinegar and then powering up that whole thing” (I explained that you really should disolve it in your soy-sauce, and that it isn’t avocado mousse as my mom once thought :-) )
Also, I looked like a girl tonight, according to rvs, it was more subtle than a tight dress that he once saw me in, so even better, only it surprised him that I spoke of computers the way I do… I blew his cover of being a regular guy, out with a regular girl :-)

It was not like vinegar, more like an ammonical solution poured over. And yes you where definitely more subtle although the tight dress might do fine in other situations ;)

Well, it was a memorable day that day… I remember quite a lot of jaws being dropped :-)
