one of my favorite role models, Mr. Don Draper can’t get through a single meeting without not 1 but 2 old-fashioned’s. I decided to try this drink last night and three in I was all “damn son!” so I’ve deduced that to succeed in advertising, one must be three sheets to the wind. -OffenseSupplied
He makes his paycheck on wasted epiphanies and drunken poetry. He’s like Charles Bukowski in a suit.
Corn Pops are an underrated cereal. -killathenulla
They get soggy too quick. I like them dry. But, they also get stale quickly, which is what I always assumed the special foil bag was for. So, I don’t have them that often. Either in those tiny one serving boxes or at a friends house.
NYC does this annual thing called restaurant week. It’s as pretentious as it sounds. For 35 bucks a head you get app, entree, and desert at any participating place. The main course I went with was called a “filet migon”. It was a “filet medallion” topping out at THREE oz. I don’t mind dropping $100 bucks on dinner (if im getting laid) but I sure as shit want to get my money’s worth and NOT leave hungry. –Latticegrid
Well, we definitely made smaller portions for the restaurant weekers here in Boston. Maybe it’s a specifically Boston thing here, but it’s like $20 and you are supposed to go to 2-3 restaurants a night. It’s a tasting event round here, anyway. Some restaurants see it ass the chance for bringing business back to the restaurant, while others almost seem to feel like it’s a charity event, and your simply giving the littles a taste of the good life. Which I not only disagree with, but also get offended by.
Did you hear about that guy in China that padlocked his kid to a parking meter as child care? -goodlucky7
Different countries, different customs. If he is a loving father with his familys best interest at heart and really thinks thats the best way to keep his family safe, then I can’t argue, and won’t judge.
You watching the Olympics? I know you enjoyed Beijing. Just watched the Ceremonies or competition also? -CanadiAnne
I am, and very much enjoying it. I particularly enjoyed the Opening Ceremonies and the six minutes of awkwardness watching Steve Nash and Wayne Gretzky stall while giant ice dildos/breadsticks waved around haplessly. Nows a good time to mention that I went searching for an American Opening Ceremonies hat, only to find out they are asking $75 for the bastard. After much consideration, I went on the internet expecting and willing to pay $40 for one, and they doubled my offer. Oh well, maybe after the Olympics they’ll come down. Also, I can’t believe how often they keep showing the video of that luge guy dying. It’s pretty rare for American media to show someone dying, and certainly not as graphic. It’s a good thing it wasn’t an American who died, or NBC wouldn’t have this awesome video to exploit over the next two weeks. I mean, anyone who wants to see it can find it on the internet, and this is supposed to be family programming, but they insist on replaying this like its Sarah Palin writing on her hand. Crazy.
I know its late and you skipped blogging about the Super Bowl this year, but what did you think of The Who as the halftime show? -OfficeMaxwell
I thought it was alright. I really enjoyed how they used the whole field for a stage instead of having a bunch of people willing to look happy cause they were on TV jump around like retards for 15 minutes. The band did look worn and borderline loungey at times. I’m certainly not a fan of the elderly rock band half time show factory the Super Bowl halftime has become.
You seem to be pretty anti-American. Why don’t you just get the fuck out? -maroonunit
I’m not anti-American, I’m anti-Capitalism. I am a globalist, but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to take pride in your country. But sometimes, its difficult to defend my statesmen. In my experience, the people that say “Well, then they should learn our language” are the same people that will teach foreigners trying to learn English wrong definitions to be hilarious. There’s a lot of inconsiderate people in this world complaining about inconsiderate people, and that’s completely indefensible.
I tried to understand black holes, singularities, spacetime, etc, and it just made me feel stupid.Last night, I was on wikipedia reading about the origins of the moon and I ended up reading stuff about spacetime and singularities and black holes and the big bang and accretion. I’m a pretty intelligent guy, but what the fuck? That shit made me feel like a downright moron. -FirstLyric
I was in the same boat until I discovered Neils DeGrasse-Tyson. He totally boils these things down into analogies I can understand. I highly recommend his books, or TV show, Nova Science Now. There’s also an Asian astrophysicist whos good at it too. Michio something.
