OMG #5

We went to the farmers market a few weeks ago to get some pumpkins for Halloween.
(BTW: is it farmers, farmer's, or farmers'?) We ate some pretty good Indian there but the wife heroically stood in line at the Egyptian place for like 3 hours to get me some baklava.


I ate half of it when we got home.

Last night, I saw some foil and what appeared to be the remaining half-wedge of baklava in the fridge. Yeah, I know, "GROSS, it's like months old or something!" Well, that didn't stop me.


HOWEVER
...


You know how your expectations for one thing get built up in your head and then you realize what you are getting is not what you expected? Yeah, that's about right.


It was a piece of fish.


P.S. I will pay money for actual evidence that ANYwhere in the world there exists a place out in the middle of nowhere with two bathtubs just sitting there waiting for an older couple with erectile dysfunction. I mean, seriously!!! Where do you get the water for the tub? If it's from a natural source, how are you heating it? And if not, are you telling me you want to get your freak on after you and your privates have been soaking in cold, stagnant water? That's just nasty.

Heh #10

So, I had the Stevie Wonder episode of "The Cosby Show" running around in my head today. Most likely bumping into things, you know what I'm sayin? Heh.

BUT, I thought I would challenge you all to see if you can get what each family member says that gets recorded into Stevie's keyboard. I will attempt to "white them out" with font color. Highlight them for the answers. Any challenges to my ridiculously accurate pop culture knowledge will be listened to and then dismissed.

NOTE: Sondra and Elvin not present in the studio and Olivia was not around yet...


Dr. Huxtable: "Baby"
Mrs. Huxtable, Esq.: "La"
Denise: " I don't know what to say"
Theo: "Jammin' on the one"
Vanessa: "Robert"
Rudy: "she imitated a giraffe noise"

Don't worry if you couldn't get them all. I'm just that awesome.
Now, if only there were some way to make this talent profitable...

NEW Product Review! CRUNCH!


Yesterday, in honor of the holiday, I partook in a few bowls of Limited Edition Halloween Crunch. Basically, it was Cap'n Crunch with crunchy ghosts that turn your bowl of milk a nice shade of ectoplasmic green. The Minutes in Milk (MIM) Test yielded great results. Cap'n Crunch usually holds up pretty well. Good stuff. Not gonna top Oops! All Berry in my opinion BUT still a tasty bowl.

On the Orion scale, Halloween Crunch gets 4 (out of 5)

October 2009 Poll - Duh

Should've expected this. Reese's Pumpkins were indeed the tastiest treat on the list. Congratulations, peanut butter and chocolate.
Well, BRAVO to those of you who bucked the trend.
Especially the other person who selected "A Nickel Taped to Cardboard".
BW's favorite memory is getting $.05 in our pumpkin.

The boy went as a policeman this year and his parents went as burglars.
Good times.

Too bad about Cthulhu not emerging from his slumber in R'lyeh.
Could've sworn this year was the year. Now I'll just have to wait until 12/21/2012 like everyone else...
