TACO interview?
« on: May 31, 2007, 01:02:16 am »
Celebrating the TACO lifestyle?  WTF is a TACO lifestyle?  Is this some sort of post-modern excessively self-aware LA thing?

Onstad likes organ meat, eh?

One of the coolest women that I know is stunningly gorgeous lady who's in her 50s. She is the quintessential badass runner: she's a size four, and she runs marathons. Like many Eastern European women, she is effortlessly stylish and is always toffed to the nines. Even out here! Anyway, she eats crazy stuff like cod milt* because she came from roots where absolutely nothing is wasted. I just stare at her in amazement. Good for her, but...damn. I could not do that.

I don't eat meat that often, but when I do it's only certain cuts and never organ meats. I suppose that is really bourgeois and retarded, but I can't do the other stuff. I can't even eat a chicken leg cuz of the tendons and veins floppin' around in there.




*cod milt is sperm from the cod giraffe. It is a delicacy in some countries similar to caviar.

I don't want a cod MILF.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

A girl who eats milt is ok in my book.

Also, it's funny that they spell Onstad "Onstadt" in the url.

Quote from: Chris Onstad
CO: Bryson, Barry, Twain, Elton, Wodehouse, Adams, Vonnegut, John Irving, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jack Handey, Al Franken, that sort of thing. Those sorts of guys. Tina Fey. Aaron Sorkin.

He tosses out Bryson, Barry, Elton & Adams, and then specifies the Arthur version of Conan Doyle. Interesting. I'm assuming Bill Bryson, Ben Elton and Douglas Adams, but which Barry, Chris? WHICH BARRY??

Shit, maybe the Elton was A.E. Van Vogt.

Presumably, one should enunciate clearly at her house, when asking for a glass of cold milk.

if I keep taking arabic, I am going to devise a "Who's on first?" style skit. The joke will revolve around the fact that "ma" means water, and "ma' " means "What". (the " ' " is a glottal stop. Or... maybe it's spelled with an Ayn? (the arabic letter, not the horrible woman.))

John Barry is surprisingly erudite.  He and I were in high school together.  At one point, I was even taller than him.  Now I think he's, like, two of me.

Ugh, 20 year reunion's coming up this summer, too.
