Unresponsive polenta

So I was shopping at Central Market this evening with my SO, and the polenta aisle caught my fancy for who knows what reason. However, as I write this, the reason has become apparent: I was confusing polenta with posole. In any case, when I picked up the polenta to add to our cart, my gorgeous SO mentioned that she has bought and prepared polenta in the past and that I was "unresponsive" to it. This of course immediately brought my mind to unresponsive nipples, which in turn brought my mind to distracting tattoos.

The lesson here is clear: always know the difference between polenta and posole, lest your mind be cluttered with clichés about tattoos and nipples, which could very well spoil your shopping experience.

Of course you were unresponsive to polenta. Both polenta and posole are animal fodder in the gustatory lexicon of my people. Which is not to brag. My people eat cephalopodic mollusks.

Forget about your association between polenta and nipples and weird shit like that and eat a steak. With some more steak.

"cephalopodic mollusks"

my people call that "scungilli salad"

it was a happy day when my taste buds matured enough to enjoy it.

btw, how the hell do you confuse posole with polenta?
If you are wearing a blindfold, the tattoos are much less distracting, IMHO.

I have no experience with this... please explain

I once saw a gal with tattoo in a fancy font that said "Dream You're Reality". While annoying I can't say it distracted me... the guy in the closest chanting "hey batter batter, saawwwing batter" that was distracting!

'Unresponsive polenta' would be a great suggestion for an improv comedy sketch. But a bad name for a band.

My original post was about the clichés and how they get stuck in my mind when hearing certain trigger words in an unrelated context. In a word cloud that represents proximity and frequency of word pairs on Eccie, "distracting"/"tattoo" and "responsive"/"nipples" would be unduly heavily weighted.

In fact, I'm considering having this little non-distracting beauty inked right above me dick:
Ah, a nice random-ish thread. It's been a while.
