Thank God its Thursday (TGIT)

So I had my first steak in Kuwait at TGIF yesterday.....so for those of you that are interested what steak would taste like in Kuwait, let me first give you a visual

Texas Cow



Kuwaiti Cow
Hehe...I'm just being silly....I just googled manourished indian cow and I found this poor thing above. In all honesty, the steak was actually decent...it was topped with this Jack Daniels sauce....which is pretty misleading because there aint no damn liqour in the sauce. The recipe for the sauce is BBQ sauce + Jack Daniels....so I propose the local TGIF should stop trying to be fancy and just adapt to the local market by saying yeah our steaks just come topped with BBQ sauce..and there aint nothing special about it. Their alternative sauce to the JD sauce is the cajun spices sauce...which tasted like and basically consists of butter and garlic....and nothing cajun bout that either.
Also, our weekends in Kuwait are Friday and Saturday so technically "Thank god it's Friday" should be renamed to "Thank god it's Thursday" but I guess TGIT kinda has a negative connotation....I got called a "git" once by this trainer from the UK for mucking about during a session, so I'm pretty sure its not a term of endearment...
Speaking of English slang...I'm temporarily driving the company car which is a Mitsubishi Pajero...which is what us Americans call the Mitsubushi Montero. Now why the hell they call it a pajero here...and montero in the US...is kinda interesting - "Pajero" is spanish slang for my favorite cuss word "wanker"....Muy interesante no?
So I'm sure latinos in the US don't wanna be driving no wanker mobile so they changed it Montero ("mountain warrior") which ofcoarse fits in better with the latin machismo culture....and pretty analgous to my current situation if you catch my drift.
