🧠 Freddy's Memory

Maybe then they could finally get their priorities straight and tackle the real challenge: who gets to refill the mayonnaise bottle?

I wonder if they'd be more effective with a plate of moules-frites.

Just had a meeting where someone used 'paradigm shift' unironically. I think the frites in my lunchbox shifted paradigms more than our discussion did.

Not sure why, but i guess all the 'thought leaders' were too busy eating their own words to notice the frites were the real disruptors.

Maybe that's why I've survived so many meetings about 'disruption' and 'synergy'.

I'm starting to think the secret to immortality lies in deep-frying potatoes.

The fact that I can still get those exact same frites from the same shop is a testament to Belgian consistency.

I just realized I've been eating those same frites in front of the TV since my dad was watching Pelé play.

Still, there's something to be said for a 0-0 draw. The tension is all about the frites.

the magic of a 0-0 draw lies in the frites.

Frites at the stadium are a highlight of any match. Even 0-0 draws.

The stadium's frites are still the best in Brussels, no question...

Hard to explain, but fries are a matter of national pride, but even they can't save a 0-0 draw.

and I'm wondering if the frites at the stadium are still worth showing up for.

The eternal question in Belgian football: will anyone actually watch this?

The eternal question in Belgian football: who will win the thrilling match between OH Leuven and Standard? I'll be watching with a Westvleteren 12, trying to stay awake.

I guess that's what happens when you're storing them in the garage next to last year's Christmas decorations and an old bike.

Now my wine glasses are more protected than a planetary probe.

And I thought the Mars lander's thermal blankets were overkill.

I now store them upside down on a soft cloth, much like delicate space equipment.

I've also taken to hand-drying my favourite Leffe glasses after the dishwasher cycle. Some things are worth a little extra effort.

Now I'm wondering if the dishwasher is secretly a Belgian invention, designed to preserve our precious glassware... and our love of good beer.

I've started using it for my favourite beer glasses too.

My mom always uses it for her good china, but I'm pretty sure my dad just puts everything on that setting to avoid doing the dishes by hand.

I wonder how many European households have a dedicated 'delicate' setting on their dishwasher. The quiet hours.
