I like to blog, obviously, and on another site, my blogs of mindless ramblings and observations were quite popular amongst my friends, and it was fun to come up with new things to entertain them.
Unfortunately, our company now monitors that site, and question any entries made during work hours. So I've decided to keep my blogs going on here. Some of them will seem stupid...probably most, but I find everyday life pretty funny. Hopefully you will to.
So last night, I'm watching the Andrew Zimmern show on the Travel Channel. He crisscrosses the globe, eating all the odd foods that the world has to offer, and gets paid for it. Last night was Alaska.
I picture Alaskans eating alot of fish, and wild game, and don't really see it as a culinary epicenter. I was correct. He ate rotten fish heads, wild birds, walrus, seal, whale...and some other things that I forget.
But what stuck out was the Jellied Moose Nose. Technically, its not just the nose, but parts of it is in there. To me, it looked like a TV dinner does when it gets cold. Gelled, brown, and rather nasty. He claims it was pretty good, with each little bit adding a different texture, and taste to the jelly loglikee substance.
In Pulp Fiction, Jules utters the line "Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, still don't mean I'm gonna eat the motherfucker" and that line applies so many times over on this show, and Anthony Bourdains show also.
As a side notAndrew Zimmern seems to have a taste for animal balls and penis'. Take that how you may.
Yesterday was my 9 year wedding anniversary. To keep with tradition, I got stuck working late, my hip was sore, and it was too hot to cook, so we had leftovers.
I want to ask other couples, because this happens to us all the time. Sometimes we'll have conversations in our head, like I'll think of something, and imagine how the conversation will go, then forget to have the conversation with her.
Later, I'll think of it, and ask if we had it for real, or I imagined it, which she informs me that we hadn't. But when I start it, she already knows what I've already talked about in my had. And it goes the other way also. Creepy.
It is handy when we're around people, and can have whole conversations using little key words quickly, so we know what we're saying, and they don't.
We watched the Wild West Comedy Tour the other night, which I need to review, and it was awesome. And it got me thinking again, to get some material together, and try an open mic. Unfortunately, and fortunately, we live in the boonies, so we'd have to travel to hit an open mic, but why not. And if I bomb, I'm around a bunch of strangers.
Finally, it was released today that Mr Global Warming, Mr Enviroment, I should have been President Al Gore's house used 10% more energy this year than last. This is after he went green, and replaced various things around his house to make it more enviromentally friendly. It also said that in a year, his mansion uses enough power to fuel a neighborhood of houses for a year. Maybe I missed something here.
And finally, it is believed that John McCain's wife plageurized her recipe for Chocolate Chip cookies, in the first lady cookie contest. It is word for word for a tollhouse recipe, just adding some more butterscotch chips.
No shit.
Everyone uses the same basic recipe, and just tweaks it for their tastes. I applaud her for using butterscotch chips, because I love them. If this is news, we need to close some news agencies!
Have a stellar day
Mr 7000000
