After that horrible face transplant surgery, Kevin posted his picture online. Give it a 10 like it deserves!
Danelope wonders why “Southern people will go into a restaurant and order ’sweet tea’, yet if the restaurant only serves unsweetened, they’ll order something else (like water, or soda.)”
My response is:
The primary reason people switch from ordering sweet tea to something else is due to the fact that sugar dissolves poorly in cold tea.
This means that by the time you get it properly sweetened (with that sugar sludge at the bottom), some bint will come by and dump more unsweetened tea in it, screwing up the balance.
Also, if some Red-Commie Yankee-owned restaurant chain decides to exert their Satan-induced influence over me by forcing me to drink unholy unsweetened tea, well, by Gawd, I’m gonna cost them an extra $.04 by making their server spend an extra few seconds correcting my order to a Coke. No, not a Coke-Coke, I want Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper’s a Coke too. In Alabama, any soda drink is a Coke. Even if it’s Pepsi. And don’t give me Mr Pibb, either. Everyone knows Mr Pibb is Dr Pepper’s lesser-educated cousin. [FYI, Dr Pepper's evil nemesis, Dr Thunder, can only be purchased at Wal-Mart, proof of Wal-Mart's association with the Underworld].
Angus Stocking, over at Eight Kinds of Ice, wrote this nice article about “Mind Mapping“, which is a thinking technique useful for problem-solving.
Interestingly enough, I use this site in much the same way as Angus describes his Mind Maps: if I ever need to remember something, I blog it, so that if I need to find it again I can use the search feature, or just grep for it.
The Godling’s Glossary, A Counterintuitive Contradictionary by Dave Krieger, is a hilarious lexicon in the same (cruel) spirit of Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary.
Ahh, I love propaganda. I’m quite pleased with this little collection of Poster Girls of World War II.
Some of the more interesting ones:
“You can’t beat the Axis if you get VD”
The scary little Nazi girl with the scary little Nazi piggy bank
A nice Soviet lady preparing to bring the Almighty Hand of Smack down upon the enemyAnd the best, from Canada: “I’m making bombs and buying bonds!”
Just what we all needed: The GLAM Manifesto.
