How is asshole bleaching done?
Does one just sit in a tub with some Clorox in it, or what?
I wonder if it would be good popped in olive oil?
Can you add a little butter to the oil during popping, or would it burn? So much to think about.
This is the only way to pop popcorn. I only know about the olive oil thing because I was out of butter. I also popped it in bacon grease one time. But butter is definitely the way to go. I'll bet mayo would work in a pinch.
the kernels didn't seem to fluff up as big.
Even with popcorn the cheap stuff is cheap stuff.
So, in light of the death of the creator in a freak accident yesterday, I wanted to share The City Museum (http://citymuseum.org) with you guys. Probably the coolest thing mankind has ever made. It is worth coming to St Louis just to see it. Come, and I will ensnare you with our charming architecture, cheap rent, and great craft beer culture.

I see no way to make a goddamned dime off it but it feels so good. People seem to LIKE it and it is FUN.

I tried to pop popcorn in butter, but the butter burned before the first kernel popped. I had it on medium heat. What did I do wrong?
I think it's really better to pop in oil and add butter later.
ghee + coconut oil + popcorn salt = the best recipe
Pretty embarrassed about how long it took to realize you can use a cheese grater on carrots. I am going to eat so many carrots now. I have learned, though, not to grate while a little drunk. My fingers got SHREDDED.
paul, i googled the make and model number after i bought it, the thing sells wholesale ONLY for almost ten times what i paid. your artcar friends MUST know someone with a local movie house, perhaps you can find a deal when they upgrade their concession stand. this one's previous owner was the voice of zorak on space ghost coast to coast and more.
As long as we're random thinking, what with the ghee and all, do any of you guys make Daal? My first batch was to die for, but this time was really shitty. What ratio/what spices do you use? I just added turmeric until it was a pleasing color, and then dumped in cardamom, cayenne, salt, garlic, onion.
(other ingredients: grated carrots, diced tomato, tomato paste, lentils, heavy cream.)
smells, you know most movie theatres use a nasty-assed oil sauce instead of butter on the bucket, right? you're not doing yourself any favors with that gagstrosity.
That's a nice google doodle for Art Clokey's 90th birthday.
I'm not sure whether to thank or kidney-punch Eddie Murphy, though. As soon as I saw the doodle I had "I'M GUMBY, DAMMIT" flash through my head.

Here you go JL, I made you an Instructional Video (http://youtu.be/KcQnaQY1fkY).

That's the first time I've ever heard your voice, I think. Not exactly what I expected.
Gene Simmons started dating Cher because she looks so much like Paul Stanley.
Well that, maybe, but moreso I think because he is a fame whore (and so is she).
That link you posted the other day of Kiss on Tom Snider led me to this (http://youtu.be/LHGP--wVqDQ) Kiss on Mike Douglas. The interview with Gene Simmons is cringe worthy, but then they really rock hard on Firehouse.
PS- Todie Fields is cool.
similar wonder: I wonder if I am the only guy whose one-hour-after-shaving shadow has the pleasant texture of sandpaper.
yeah, it is sexy to look at, but it is less sexy when I give my lady rug burn. My sex life doesn't involve anything vigorously rubbing against anyones armpits.
Stubble in a girl's armpits says, "I'm trying to be a Lady, and I've failed."
maybe its genetic?
Black Diamond is fuck*ng awesome, though.
Nice try, guys.
My girlfriend only wears make-up to job interviews and weddings and I LIKE that.
No doubt. I'm descended from some pretty hirsute women, honestly.
Why oh why could I not have gotten these genes from my oddly hairless dad?
the little rough edges can honestly be hot.
I honestly have a thing for slightly fucked up teeth.

As if it weren't bad enough, that the lady who lived here before us planted wisteria.
I think there is no root barrier on earth that will contain some kinds of bamboo, it really just shouldn't be done. Evil stuff.
I'm currently toying with an idea for a science fiction story that involves importing animals from another planet. I want it to start out where everything's cool and we're doing it right because mankind finally really learned the lesson about invasive species, but I keep being derailed by bitter laughter at the utter improbability of that scenario. It's too unlikely even for science fiction.
To paraphrase a wise woman: Sometimes I don't know what the fuck you people are talking about and I'm OK with that.
Here's a random thought for you. Did you know that Veggie Tales is a Jewish thing?
Bad teeth are my kryptonite. You're talking about slightly crooked teeth, like Jewel has for instance, which can be cute, , but for me, bad teeth in general are probably my biggest turn off.Girls in Japan are going to the orthodontist for this lookI honestly have a thing for slightly fucked up teeth. Could just be because I'm self-conscious about my own teeth, but there's something attractive about a lady whose teeth aren't unnaturally white and straight.
Here's a random thought for you. Did you know that Veggie Tales is a Jewish thing?I call bullshit.
I call bullshit.
A couple of years ago I was at the home of friends who are Jewish and they put on Veggie Tales for their daughter to watch. I was surprised they were watching Veggie Tales because I thought it was Christian. They insisted that it was made by and for Jews. That's why all of their "tales" are from the old testament. They pointed out all the Jewish names in the credits as further proof that it was a Jewish show.
Obviously it's not exclusively for Jews because Christians and even some non believers love it too.
Now we are arguing about what religion vegetables are?
Doing some simple research, the first two things advertised on their website's store were Veggie Tale adaptations of "O Holy Night" and "The Little Drummer Boy" so...
I think your friends are wrong, respectfully.
I like women of a height that some fellows would find intimidating or vaguely masculine.
I knew a girl in college who was 6" and she was mega hot. Worked as a bouncer at the local Friday night showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
6" is not very tall at all. Reminds me of this (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1015690/spinal_tap_stonehenge/).

Are you questioning Ron Swanson?
jl, just look up parks&rec on hulu some time. it might be an acquired taste, but i think it's one of the best things on tv these days.
And here's a video where I talk about the chicken ranch (http://youtu.be/Tlmc7tN4a8A).I had no idea your Texas accent was so pronounced. (Its a good thing, although I immediately thought of King of the Hill). You're quite the raconteur!
Kittens
Shuttle
Little
The vernacular is evolving towards these being pronounced with a glottal (or is that a glo'al) stop instead of a hard t.
I can't hear the difference between "pin" and "pen".
I feel sad for people whose vowel systems are impoverished.
Isn't this because round your parts, they don't say a difference between pin and pen?
How would you say "couch"?
The street here is pronounced "cooch".
How would you say "glisan"?
The street here is pronounced "gleason".
I have twenty of these, at least. Street names here are weird.
How-sten street, manhattan
Couch Street is pronounced that way because the guy it's named after's name is pronounced that way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_H._Couch
Apparently they're mispronouncing Glisan, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Glisan
I don't care about any John Couch.

My mom doesn't have a Facebook she uses or a smartphone she understands, but the other night when I was over watching some shows she DVR'd for me, I had to ask her to start it up for me because I don't know how to use the newfangled cable boxes.
I am in a weird generational place when it comes to technology, and probably a lot of people my age are, where there are new technologies that are tied to old technologies on which we have completely pulled ourselves out of the loop. Like cable TV and landline phones (hey mom, how do you delete messages from this answering machine?) and sewing machines -- even fancy modern ones that do embroidery and accept USB drives full of elaborate designs that you can download with specialized software. She does not know about internet radio, but she has a machine that converts LP records to MP3s.
If the technology gap is getting bigger, it's because my generation understands one kind of new technology, and my parents' generation understands a completely different set of equally complicated technology.
The thing is, now a days, plenty of times you can just use your phone to do the googling, rendering calling someone to ask them totally unnecessary.

The oldest boy goes in tomorrow and gets four wisdom teeth pulled out of him. Does it make me a bad guy for telling him "If you die I'm playing the shit outta your xBox."
Yeah, that's pretty fucked up.

Dear Publishers: If you don't want to drive me to getting a Kindle, when maybe don't publish a hardcover, 1000 page book that weights about 5 pounds. I read in bed, and if I nod off and your book hits me in the face or chest with a hard thud, that is shitty. Also if it is a chore to hold the book up for an hour plus, that is bullshit. Also, if it is too big to haul around at all, that is crap. Too bad the book is so interesting. My neck is sore from sitting up in bed with the damn thing open in my lap and me hunched over it. It makes me not enjoy the physical presence of the book, which for me is a first.
The whole neurotic anxiety problem of "what if I throw a party and nobody comes?" is only intensified when the party is on behalf of you kid.
Oh fuck, five beers in and tomorrow's AM meetings canceled. Looks like hangover hoss ridings for me, boy'o's. Jiggldee fuck and wish me luck on that action at six in the morning with the frost on the ground.
I don't give two shits and a special fart. We're gonna run it in the morning gloom.

BTW: I got yelled at buying some beer at the grocery store the other day. It seems the new law in California is that you can't buy booze in the self check lanes, you have to go to the old style lane with a human checker. I didn't know this until some dude in such as a store uniform yelled at me when I was in the self check.
Yes, I yelled back, but it wasn't personal.
I'm more bugged out by the state putting up barriers between me and my beer. This is not good, folks. Next thing you know I'll have to go to a special store and make sure I'm stocked up enough to make it through the "Dry Sunday's" and shit like that.
I have a fully stocked bar in my basement (well, not fully, but gin/tequila/vodka/rum/several scotches/bourbons/whisk(e)ys and assorted beers/wines/ciders) because why would you ever take the chance of a Dry Sunday? Not, of course, that Portland has such a thing.
Also, I like to be hospitable to ridiculous extremes.

Do kids really ask that question? I mean, doesn't that question involve way too much thinking about your parents having sex? Gross.

what a fuck*ng mess.
The Arabic Calzone place stole my debit card info and sent it to Kuala Lumpur, where a fraudulent card was made and used to withdraw $400 from my account on Friday. Being a holiday, everything was closed until today. Thankfully my bank is going to refund everything.
There's been a lot of talk about black teenagers in hoodies, and it reminds me of what was going in fifteen years ago when everybody was talking about white teenagers in trenchcoats. It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now.
"Donut-themed music" is promised,
Who doesn't like donuts?
Donut-themed music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC3Cthm0HFU&feature=related).
Do they have doughnuts that are sort of rectangular, covered with granulated sugar (not powdered), and filled with raspberry jelly?
I saw a tv program that visited Voodoo doughnuts, but this is the first time I've perused their menu. Look tasty.
They take this thing much more seriously than you would think.
the donut ride was fun. Didn't eat enough donuts. Then I made up for it with beer and a fat burger. What a great day.
Tim Horton’s is actually not that good and doesn’t have Wi-Fi.
I have absolutely no idea what Tim Horton's business practices are, so this is not about them or really directed at you, Smells, but when people all talk about the charitable contributions of people/businesses who made their cash in shitty ways it don't make it right. It don't make it right at all.

When a teen is having a pity party on Facebook, quoting Tennyson at them and reminding them that their situation is no novelty to the human condition is unlikely to be viewed as helpful in the slightest.
Fuck that though, it amuses the piss out of me.
Doubtful. How do you think I got the Tennyson thrown at me originally?
Passing It On.
I remember the most frustrating thing about being a teenager being that I knew I was being unreasonable and angsty, but I couldn't stop.
It takes most people until they're 27 to not be dick-bags.
I pondered throwing a coffee mug at a coworker today because he was eating candy.
Did I talk about seeing candy wrappers in the stall at work? People, Jesus Christ - no candy when you are taking a shit.
I am convinced from how people seem to homestead on the public stalls at work that they aren't so much as shitting as having a little bit of the "saddest me times".
Stumbled across this article (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/diner_least_times_square_restaurants_udN3cPUfnrTsiJPt1xdYLN).
What the fuck are you doing in New York eating at Red Lobster in Times Square? There are so many more reasonably priced and better meals to be had in all the 5 boroughs. Besides, if you visit New York, you are probably prepared to splurge, but if you're splurging at the Olive Garden, you're doing it wrong.

It's a phallic symbol.

Whatever happened to getting jiggy with it? The Willenium barely got off the ground before suddenly the world was a much less jiggy conducive environment. I feel robbed.
I've had quite a bit of spare time lately and I have been studying this book (http://www.amazon.com/Zinn-Art-Road-Bike-Maintenance/dp/1884737706) and spending as much time as possible split between two local collectives.

You know how sometimes, when you visit someone's house, and it has an unpleasant smell that they've gotten used to? It makes me worry about what unpleasant smell in my own home I've gotten used to.

If you send me a message of some sort that ends with "Sent from my ..." I'm pretty much gonna want to punch you in the giblets.
It is taking advantage of people who aren't nerds (and therefore don't know how to turn it off) to get free advertising. That's what irritates me.
I've always wondered what would happen if an athlete, pro or olympic, used a seam-ripper to remove the embroidered Nike/Addidas/etc logo from their jerseys. Would they be fined? Pulled from the field and forced to put on a new jersey?
This was at a small division one program and goddamed if Reebok wasn't paying attention just fine to little shit like that.Interns gotta do something.
Yes. I can confirm that that's the default signature, and it's kind of a pain to turn it off. Plus, a lot of people don't realize that their phones append the tagline (because how often do you email yourself? I mean, unless you're a nerd like Pedro who uses email as a reminder system and task list).
But, yeah. It still sucks.
I thought everybody did that!I know I do.
Along these lines: I've always wondered what would happen if an athlete, pro or olympic, used a seam-ripper to remove the embroidered Nike/Addidas/etc logo from their jerseys. Would they be fined? Pulled from the field and forced to put on a new jersey? Similarly, what if a reality show actor always held their soda etc with their palm over the logo instead of to camera?
Wombles, Lprkn, Acap, and Pedro holding tight on the "**** the FTP. we're straight from the e-mail cloud"
You remember the Dream Team in '92, when they got their gold medals, some of the players (including Michael Jordan) had American flags draped around their necks? That's because the Olympic team warm-up jackets they were wearing were Reebok, but those players were sponsored by Nike and their contracts stipulated that they were never to be seen wearing another athletic company's logo. But Reebok's contract with the US Olympic Team said they had to wear these jackets. The flag was the compromise, it covered up the Reebok logo.
Athletic apparel logos are SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Opinions?
It is a cool... thought (no diss, mind). Speaking of which, have you read Borges' lovecraftian homage? It's called "There Are More Things", and it is basically one:
