OMG. One of my coworkers is explaining American Pie to the rest of them.
The song, not the movie. One of them didn't know the title of the song, and they're treating the "this is about the death of Buddy Holly" like it's news. I'm willing to let "Hotel California is about drugs" slide, but not American Pie! I'm the music-illiterate foreigner here!
Quick, ask them what the lyrics to "Blinded by the Light" really are.
I'll see your "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" (which is easy, since I've never heard of it) and raise you a "Little Red Corvette."
Well, I still have no idea what LRC is about (aside from your Trojan comment). But I never really concentrated on the lyrics, either.
Sonofabitch is gone.
See, I don't want him off the Katrina case, I want him
gone
gone. It's possible there are some vengeancey feelings involved.
Here's your hat, what's your hurry; don't let the door hit you in the ass, on the way out; your cell is ready, and a 1,001 other platitudes to him.
Unfortunately, he's still around to take charge when the next disaster hits.
Cereal:
Let me guess, amych, you were around for Fran?
You'd think all the little cave-babies and toddlers would've choked on rocks (Annabel is fascinated by pebbles) or poisoned themselves by stuffing random leaves in their mouths.
You have a baby every year and you raise a quarter of them, if you're lucky.
Of course, you're lucky if you live to 40 yourself.
Apparently there are a lot of peanuts in places you wouldn't expect them (e.g. skin oils), as well as there being cross-allergies to soy. A baby who's on soy formula young is supposed to be at greater risk of a later peanut allergy.
There's also a cross-risk with some other foods like mango, and maybe some other melons. If I weren't lazy, I'd look up trends about cooking (both home, and mass production) with peanut oil. I know it seemed sensible to me not to use a peanut based vitamin E oil for nursing care.
I still have no idea what LRC is about
There was me, thinking it wasn't all about sex, love, or god. Dude. It's Prince. It about one (or all) of those three, probably.
Key tells:
- u had a pocket full of horses / Trojan and some of them used
- u drove me 2 the place / Where your horses run free
- I saw all the pictures / Of the jockeys that were there before me
- u say, baby, have u got enough gas?
And how you know I
really
wasn't paying attention?
- I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine
- u got an ass like I never seen / And the ride... / I say the ride is so smooth
Most peanut allergics don't react to peanut oil unless it's cold-pressed.
I don't know how they derive it for the Vitamin E oil. I read it 10 years ago, probably.
Unfortunately, he's still around to take charge when the next disaster hits.
Maybe he'll be moved out of FEMA in a promotion or something.
I have to wonder how much of the increase is due to increased recognition of what is going on, and more widespread public acceptance of the fact that food allergies can in fact kill you.
I dunno about the public recognition part. Parents older than me can comment, but my brother was allergic to what seemed like everything in the 1980s (dairy and-- citrus?). Though I don't remember epi-pens being in our lives.
