There's a lot of things I don't get. I don't get gardens. That's probably something to do with being a life-time subscriber to paying rent. That and realising that mother nature's a fucken bitch and will screw you in the arse first chance she gets. Might as well give her the front lawn (or the front moss like we have here) and be done with it, bugger whatever the neighbours say.
But then I never used to get food either. I'm really getting into cooking these days. And it's not a wanky 'look what I can barbeque' thing, either. I just enjoy cooking, for the same reasons I like programming. It's putting parts together to make something work.
Or maybe I'm just getting too old to hate conformity. Seriously. Someone shoot... my wife! HAHAHAHAH.
