Haven't seen the Happy Happy Joy Joy commercial. Every damn commercial here is political. Live television is horrible. But the boys must watch this football game. Not paying much attention except when I hear them yell. Go Canes!

Y'all are making me hungry. I think I should read a bit.

I need opinions. I found this article [link] But I'm not entirely convinced that it's not tongue-in-cheek, and, since I'm using it for setting the tone of the era, I want to be more sure.

Canonically not a salt fan. Some of the Mexican front desk girls (it's been agreed by a former front desk girl that they are indeed front desk girls and not women, but neither of us are sure why) have introduced me to pepper on candy, and I love it. A watermelon flavoured lollipop coated in paprika is only interesting while still peppery. Once it's just the candy, I toss it. There was also a mango lollipop for dipping in paprika (or maybe cayenne--I don't remember). I didn't like the lollipop so I used British-style rock candy instead.

Num.

Okay, now some chai tea and the first of the cupcakes. I have made my shopping run, and am stupidly weak.

Squirtgun Batman. That's right - Batman as a squirtgun. Batman is bent over (to be more gun shaped) and the water apparantly squirts out of his mouth. The water plug is in his butt.

Oh, that is so wrong, in all the right ways.

And the trigger! Bwahaha! So! Wrong!

In Israel (and I think in a few other Mediterranean countries) they eat watermelon with cheese. (A crumbly cheese sort of like feta.)

Manouri? That is delicious. I eat it with fruit whenever I find it.

And chilis in chocolate. Nummy. Plei and I "invented" a drink with pepper vodka and Godiva liquor that was delicious. It was new to us but I doubt it hadn't been done before somewhere. At least on a bet.

Oh dear, that batgun is just more amusing than a children's toy should be. And looks too angular to be a more adult toy.

So funny.

Holy homoeroticism, Batman!

I put salt on pretty much all my melons. Intrigued by sugar on canteloupe.

I set up a wireless router today, in anticipation of my new TiVo. I'm trying to decide if I should give the TiVo a name. Maybe something fandomy.

Maybe the Happy Happy Joy Joy song is selling Don't Pee On The Electric Fence.
