Happy Easter

Adam and I woke up on Easter morning eager to celebrate by breaking our lenten fasts. Adam's was TV and mine was coffee. The following is a reconstructed conversation.

Adam:
You know what we could do before church?
plasticann: Drink coffee and watch TV?
Adam: Guess again.
plasticann: Drink coffee?
Adam: Not quite, you were closer the first time.
plasticann: Watch TV?
Adam: What kind of TV?
plasticann: Closer?
Adam: No, the other one.
plasticann: Monk?
Adam: Yeah...now what can we do while we watch Monk?
plasticann: Eat pancakes?
Adam: We could do that, but what else?
plasticann: Eat TV and watch coffee?
Adam: No! Watch Monk and...
plasticann: Watch Monk and drink coffee.
Adam: Sort of, I was trying to get you to say, "drink coffee and watch Monk," but it was taking way too long.
plasticann: Isn't that what I said?
Adam: Not in the order I was hoping for, first coffee then say Monk.

Drink coffee and watch Monk we did, but only after a pointlessly protracted conversation.
