Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, sure. The broth is like two months away from the "use by" date, but I know I bought it more than a year ago.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

So much great stuff in the Flavour Gravouryard.

Festivus, Southern Pecan Pie, Cool Britannia (awful name, great ice cream) and Wavy Gravy. Sigh.

That stupid one with pop rocks in it can rot in ice cream hell, though. You heard me! ICE CREAM HELL!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cool Britannia (awful name, great ice cream)

It was SUPPOSED to be Strawberry Nields Forever. In that it's the exact same flavor that the Nields wanted to be named after them, and it came out before they got a chance to launch the massive fan campaign to get a B&J ice cream named after them.

Southern Pecan Pie was so good.

Always Anti-fascist!

Enjoyed "Festivus" Guessing "Cool Brittania" had toffee in it? In which case I agree on both counts.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Cool Britannia

I like that name because it always reminds me of the Bonzo Dog Band song.

Congratulations to the Wolframs!

Things continue to be weird at work. 7 layoffs out of an office of approx. 50 people. And writing on the wall for others because of the way things are being driven into the ground. MBA = Master of Bastardly Administration? Sure seems like it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

TomW continues to make me snortle on a regular basis with his posts.

My soup was surprisingly good! Needed salt, though. Stupid low-sodium.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am skeptical about the new dirigible.

To minimize noise, the aft-mounted propellers will be electric, powered by a renewable source such as hydrogen fuel cells.

And they're gonna have this hydrogen fuel cell technology ready in four years? (They still gotta decide if it's gonna be hydrogen fuel cells or something else.) Then some company has to build the infrastructure to service the things, and some company has to decide to sell tickets and operate it, etc.

I think this is one of those things that often end up on the cover of Popular Science, etc - I bet the developers are still looking to get all the necessary financing so they're after the publicity that this story will generate.

KaBerry KABOOM!, you mean? Kaboom?

I was also struck by the awful awesomeness of Lemon Peppermint Carob Chip. Or is that awesome awfulness?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am skeptical about the new dirigible.

That is just not something one hears every day.
