Guten Abend, meine Sneakers! Yet again…it’s Sneaky Dragon! This week Ian and Dave tackle the tough topics like Ian’s electricity-based super powers; the hilarity of codeine addiction; making a wreck of Trainwreck; Ian’s boosterism of… [I wrote down DPH in my notes, but I can’t remember what that means – you’ll just have to listen]; we like Aziz Ansari’s Master of None on Netflix; film snobs versus film fans; Dave wonders why Ian made him see Alien 3 after Ian had already watched it; the video of Kingsgate Mall from the James Bond show has taken on a life of its own; Ian isn’t down with David Blaine; he doesn’t think much of pranks either; Dave resists clichés, but seems to enjoy guys crossing the road with glass; and, finally, Ian avoids talking about Netflix’s new show Alternately Catherine Zeta Jones.

Say, you can’t order Eggs Benedutch at De Dutch Pannekoek House anymore! But only because they redubbed it as the less-whimsically named Cheese Bene. FYI, they switched from cardboard stamp cards to plastic swipe cards long ago. But their De Dutch Club loyalty program is well-worth joining. As well as earning points towards free food, they send you a gift certificate for a pannekoek on your birthday. Yum!
I find Béchamel sauce is great for a shrimp or smoked salmon pasta dinner.
You can still order Eggs Benedutch from The Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe. https://www.zomato.com/vancouver/dutch-wooden-shoe-cafe-riley-park-little-mountain-vancouver/menu#tabtop
Sadly they’ve followed De Dutch’s lead and changed their hash browns from the smaller size to dice sized chunks. Which is a huge step down.
Here’s the club Louise is speaking of…

When Vancouver first adopted an area code for phone numbers, I was able to remember it thanks to the Twisted Tune “Dial 604” (parody of “When I’m 64”). Wish I could hear it again. Probably lost to the ages.
Regarding the animal version of the Body Worlds exhibit at Science World right now… I think most, if not all, of the animals died of natural causes before being plastinated. They had a camel where the exhibit curator told us you can see the fracture in its leg bones where it broke its leg and had to be euthanized, for example.
You can read more about where the animals came from here: http://www.scienceworld.ca/blog/were-taking-your-questions-about-exhibition
And oh gosh, the baby socks. WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?!
