Does This Faux Condom Dish Go Too Far? - San... →
Alvin Leung Jr., unveiled “Sex on the Beach,” a dish resembling a used condom flung onto sand. The edible “condom” is made by dunking a metal cigar tube into a food-grade polymer. It’s partially filled with a milky fluid of honey and Yunnan ham emulsion, arranged on powdered shiitake mushrooms (i.e., the “sand”).
Yigh.

Isn’t that amazing? Biology, man. Biology.

So, I’m willing to acknowledge that I may have gone a teensy bit overboard on the number of Drumsticks I consumed today.

Just doing a little reading about Scientology.
Watching the newest Star Trek movie for the first time on Netflix Instant, I now appreciate why this would have been really awesome on a big movie theater screen.

I may have inadvertently assisted scientology today.
Why secondhand bookstores (and libraries!) smell...

Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin. When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally ...

discussing my very loud, very scary former...
Me: the gate slamming shook the whole building
quite literally
Walt: jeebus

Me: no
just a cracked out angry man
Walt: HULK USE COCAINE WHEN HULK SAD NOW HULK CLOSE GATE NICE AND TIGHT FOR NEIGHBORS.

The scene where Cher is trying seduce Christian is, like, the awkwardest sauce.
I always have to fast-forward this scene. I just cannot BEAR how, well, clueless she is.
ok, seriously fingers. typing.
This is the third time I’ve tried to write about how this one businessman received his MRS degree.
It also seems like these kids cheat on each other an awful lot. In high school, I pretty much just ate DiGiorno and watched Sex and the City with my ladyfriends.

You know, this high school has seriously exceeded its yearly quota of mysterious deaths.
I really want my computer to make all the snappy little sound effects that Veronica Mars’s laptop does.

– Black cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I’m watching Masterpiece Mystery on Hulu, and the judge just put on the black cap and passed a death sentence on a possible baddie, and it was suuuuper dramatic. The English really understand the importance of formal regalia.
note to client:
When you name your mildly crackpot business with a cutesy pun, you make me look like I can’t spell a fairly common word because your name makes no sense outside the context of your logo. Just saying.

I love you, Veronica. I named my guitar after you because she is also loud and unapologetic and made in the 80’s.

I was mildly reprimanded for using too many “effusive words” when describing the glorious island for work.
I just couldn’t help it, OK? THAT WAS ME BEING RESTRAINED. I would like to move to that island and eat all of the delicious foodstuffs in the butler’s personal snack pantry!

You guys, there’s a personal butler’s pantry for snacks. This is heaven’s island.
Ok, I have been reading about this extremely glorious private island resort for hours now, and I just really want to go to there. Did you know that someone there will give you a massage on the beach and then bring you whatever you would like to eat? Best place ever.
WatchI find that I am much more efficient when writing blurbs about really fancy resorts in Spanish speaking countries if I narrate as I write in my best Three Amigos accent.

hobbescomics replied to your post: The dude across the table, however…well, let’s…
Like tinfoil hat interest or Mystery the pick up “artist” interest?
Somewhere between tinfoil hat and “check out my awesome zombie army,” I think.
Things I Learned From Work Today: Six Sigma from 30 Rock? IT’S A REAL THING. It has colored belts, too, like Karate.
The dude across the table, however…well, let’s just say that he is reading Memory Distortion, The Experiential Dimension of Psychology, Creating Minds, and BRAINWASH: The Secret History of Mind Control as if he has a very personal interest in the subject.
The man next to me at the library is reading Calvin and Hobbes books and chuckling delightedly under his breath. I approve of this use of the library.
