More random acts of madness for Festivus.
I'm probably not going to make a lot of friends with this admission, but I really f#cking can't stand Paula Deen. Hate her. Really. Everything from her uber-stereotypical "Yaawwwwllll" to the fact that she fries fat chunks in butter as if it were some simplistic Southern food ritual to boil shit in lard. Ummm...no. Yes, butter is wonderful, if used correctly. I am also a big fan of animal fats in their many forms, from rendered duck fat to bacon grease. But this over-make-up'd faux granny "chef" makes me want to never eat south of St Louis again. That is, if I didn't know better. According to reports, the current strain of H1N1 (aka "Swine Flu" for those of you living in media denial) came from a poorly monitored Smithfield pig farm in Mexico. Who is the celebrity face of Smithfield? Hmm? Yep...Paula "More annoying than two cats in heat mating on a chalkboard surface" Deen. Coincidence? I think not. She is the Anti-Christ of Food. Or is that Rachel Ray? Nope. It's Paula...Rachel is a lesser demon.
I wish Facebook would quit trying to make me become friends with Paul Giamatti. Seriously. I don't know the dude. I thought he was OK in "John Adams" and passable in other films, but it isn't like we'll be chatting online about our upcoming schedules and trading recipes. And I won't poke any of my family member, so cut it out. Seriously. You're creeping me out something fierce. It's bad enough you keep trying to set me up with single women over 40 in my area. Just because I am over 40 means I have to DATE over 40? And I won't become a fan of Walgreens, VISA, or any other corporate sponsors until they become a fan of ME. And give me free shit.
Here's one for the "this is what irony means" file. The HCR debate is making me sick.
Another entry...The lady at the bank line who bitched to us about the people ahead of her taking up too much time with the tellers, only to get to the teller and begin a tirade about people taking too long. A long-winded tirade, involving other tellers.
I hope you all have a Happy Whateveryoucelebrate.
