    Sidehackers is a pretty great episode

    You know, I've never actually seen that one

    and oh shit

    I forgot about Overdrawn At The Memory Bank

    At least I'm not a filthy disgusting anteater.

    ENGLAND WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

    i'm gonna go over there and invent the closet and make like ten billion queenbucks

    guessing it's because of the ridiculously expensive real estate in cities there, no space for them. Maybe that's what the tardis was originally developed for.

    Most houses weren't built with them in mind

    Of course, most houses weren't built with toilets or kitchens in mind, either, which is often why the kitchen is a small extension tacked onto the back of the house

    And a lot of houses are terraced or on small plots of land, so by the time closet space was required and toilets became indoor and kitchens were stuffed full of appliances, there just wasn't the space necessary to expand

    My house has 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, but only one of them is a full bath. The other one simply has a shower, no tub, and the final one is merely a toilet. A true "water closet"

    Maybe if you're really particular about what kind of poop goes where

    like if you've got the runs then you use the one in the back of the house where the smell won't get anywhere

    same thing with asparagus pee

    Man, fuck asparagus. I mean, it tastes decent, but fuck all if asparagus isn't the hardest motherfucking thing to harvest in the world.

    Any motherfucker who complains about a hard job in my presence gets a look from me and the response "at least its not harvesting asparagus" and so help them if they argue with me about it.

    And then asparagus has the nerve to go and make your pee green.

    What the fuck, asparagus. I broke my motherfucking back for you.

    Is there anything Knob hasn't done?

    Knob once ate an entire carton of raw eggs to get in character for the Jurassic Jaws sketch put on by his 5th grade class.

    Knob is not afraid to look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Knob once pulled apart an entire package of Keebler E.L.Fudge cookies and re-assembled them so none of them had the proper fronts and backs, and then laughed at them for being flawed creations, devouring them like that hole where Spartans put their retarded babies.

    My bedroom is actually disguised as a closet. And my closet is disguised as a door.

    It was hilarious when Dave of That Fella fame visited my flat and was shocked by the number of doors.

    Where's that one go? The bathroom. And that one? That's a closet. And that one? We just walked through that one. It's the front door.

    You'd be amazed how much an Irishman could be surprised by several doors. I think I could extrapolate that all people from the Isles are astounded and confounded by closets and doors.

    Oh man, I've been making asparagus and pancetta risotto for the past few weeks. It's delicious but asparagus pee for the next two days. We're planning on making it when some friends are around but I feel like I'll be compelled to warn them in advance that their pee is going to smell and don't worry you don't have urine cancer it's just the asparagus wee. I'm not sure that's really a good way to kick off a dinner party though.

    Anybody old enough for dinner parties should already know what asparagus is gonna do to their piss

    If they've somehow led that sheltered a life, the shock will be an excellent learning experience

    Seriously though, guys, harvesting asparagus is the most back breaking labor you will ever do in your entire life.

    Just do it once.

    Give it a whirl.

    For funsies.

    And then you'll know why I narrow my eyes at it whenever I walk through the vegetable section.

    Here in west Germany they claim to have the best asparagus in all of Europe and normal, well-to-do people actually volunteer to help harvest it every year for no pay whatsoever.

    I don't think they get a medal.

    The funny thing is, Israeli asparagus is substantially inferior in flavour and texture to English asparagus (which unfortunately has a very short season). So it isn't even like you're giving yourself a crippled spine for the worlds finest asparagus.

    Well maybe in Germany it isn't so bad, but where I grew up, you harvested Asparagus in 98+ degree weather, bent double as you worked your way down lanes, slicing them below the earth and bunching them, and within the hour your back and shoulders ached, and by the end of the day you felt like dying. I'd see 40 year old men bent double, walking like 80 year old men, from working asparagus their adult lives.

    We only compare it to the Dutch, Belgian and French asparagus and they all suck so much you might as well be eating twigs.

    I haven't had English asparagus yet.

    There is wild asparagus that grows out in our family's orchard. I waited until it grew up into the branches before I sliced it off, so there was just all this dead asparagus hanging from apple branches.

    Really, it was quite hilarious.
