This post has been inspired by benchilada, who drew us somethingThe first comment references a Far Side cartoon where an elephant sits down at a piano and wonders why they're there, as they're a flutist. Ben then says something about flautists. This word? Does not belong in my vocabulary ( Read more... )

Several years ago, I came across some unusual food items at the grocery store. If you know benchilada, you know he's had his So You Don't Have To series for a while, though he hasn't done many of them lately. Basically, he eats unusual and downright disgusting foods...well, so nobody else has to. It's amusing and informative and can involve foods from ( Read more... )

As I headed to class a bit early this morning, I heard voices coming from the music lab. One was female and definitely not my usual classmate; the other was the teacher. I walked in and saw the teacher helping a gal who was sitting behind the keyboard I normally use...and it was the girl who normally sits there. She hasn't been to class in a ( Read more... )

Finally, my long-ago-sent food product has made it into So You Don't Have To, benchilada's foray into unusual yet supposedly edible food products. It gets opened in the first video and eaten in the second. That's as far as I've gotten, as the vids are long, but head on over to Ben's page to see the full Super-Explodo SYDHT extravaganza ( Read more... )

For the past couple of nights, I've had difficulties in trying to access the web. It's especially bad when I try to access a certain post by a certain benchilada. Must be all the pictures.

(Years later edit: I'm on page 5, at the bottom.)

Okay, I finally broke down and did it...I sent benchilada my entry in the So You Don't Have To sweepstakes. Now, it's definitely not as out there as most of what he's gotten, but it's definitely odd, and definitely not what most people have in their pantries. We'll see if and when he gets any of it online ( Read more... )

Earlier this evening, as I was brushing my teeth in preparation to go out, I was thinking about how a lot of people from work shop at Woodman's and yet I've never run into them. I'm not saying this is a bad thing; I just find it unusual ( Read more... )

This is all Dennis Kucinich's fault.

See, if he hadn't dropped out of the presidential race, benchilada would not have made this post about it.

And in that non-post, he wouldn't have made a comment about Mormon garments.

And I wouldn't have clicked on the link and discovered the Common Misconceptions page which, among other things, discusses the garment ( Read more... )

Ah, this makes me think of Jimmy Fallon.

So a certain benchilada made a certain post about a certain tween singing group with ties to white supremacy. One of the comments posted links to a documentary about them, which I ended up watching. It's kind of interesting, if of poor quality due to being on YouTube, and ultimately you realize the girls are just ( Read more... )

Internet troubles prevented me from getting online upstairs for about 24 hours. Not fun. But then again, neither was the whole weekend ( Read more... )
