proof that i actually live in the real world, amongst you allWow, I'm glad the New York Giants won this year's Super Bowl. Even though I had followed them all through the playoffs and saw how great they can play on the road against some amazing teams like the Cowboys and the Packers, I was all but certain the Patriots were still going to win. And I ( Read more... )

I feel slighted that the overly tasty, overly expensive Grapples are injected with flavoring.

... kinda like finding out Santa Claus isn't real.

Welcome to my world, Sarah Rae.

The tooth fairy was killed in a barfight in a small town in Oregon back in 1986.

sarahrae February 4 2008, 16:23:23 UTC

That would make sense... a fairy would have to have a rather low alcohol tolerance, and I am sure anyone with a sack of fairy dust could totally start some shit.

Totally. There isn't too much information about that incident out there. It was really quite sad, and we still had the Soviets to worry about...

Grapples = grape flavored apples. Where's the lie? Would it have been better to find that they actually tasted like grapes because they were "some kind of weird Monsanto genetic-hybrid type-thing"?

Here, maybe this will help. Print this off and stick it on the bag.

Ingredients: These fine Southern California apples have been carefully raised from saplings, infused by daily watering with a mixture of filtered mountain spring water and juice from only the finest Napa Valley grapes available. Mexican migrant workers keep vigil day and night, fanning insects away and protecting these vibrant plants from all natural impediments, thus ensuring the finest fruit available on the planet. Once hand picked and protected from bruising, they are then polished on the plump thighs of beautiful young Mexican girls, much in the tradition of Cuban cigar making, to bring you an eating experience that defies all others. We hope you enjoy! (Apples and grape juice)

I would still be much happier if these apples were cultivated by American workers, polished via thigh by some blonde chick named Kristi or whatever. And for $3.99 for only four Grapples, dammit I should have that.

And yes, I'd rather them be weird genetic freaks than just Fuji apples dipped in Kool-Aid. You know? There's nothing cool about that.

I discovered the grapple a year or so ago. it's interesting, as a novelty.

I've been sleeping less and less. I went to bed after 7 this morning. And up before noon.

I think the Pats were probably doomed when they trademarked the phrase "19-0" before they even played the game. As Michael Strahan suggested, perhaps they can trademark "18-1" now. Of course, this is not being covered much 'cause all the media is from the northeast and they all want to blow Brady.

posteverything February 4 2008, 19:47:04 UTC

I don't blame the Pats, necessarily, for trademarking 19-0 because you know that if they hadn't somebody else unrelated to the organization would have, had they won last night. And whoever they were would have profited from an achievement he had nothing to do with. So I get that...what I couldn't stand was the smugness of the fans, and I'm glad that they're all weeping in their clam chowdah today.

No matter what happens, try not to sleep past 12 too much. There's something even more depressing about waking up and it's already like one-thirty in the afternoon. From there it's that much easier to bridge that connection to the whole "I'm wasting my life" self-narrative.

superhappytime February 4 2008, 20:55:44 UTC

I haven't slept past 12 since Sunday.

Sports fans from the NE are pretty unbearable in general. Although I don't mind NY football fans, because they are mostly used to cheering for teams that suck. It all reminds me of growing up in a state where everyone cared too much about the university of georgia football and thought it was the only thing that mattered and the best program in the world (by the way, they have 0 championships since herschel walker played there--28 years and counting).

I don't think you follow the sports too much, but the comparisons between them and the Missouri based team they first defeated about 5 years ago are amazing...big time favorite losing to an underdog because they were cocky and sleepwalking through the game...arrogant, annoying coach who basically blew the game with bad decision making (not running the ball with a lead, same in both games).

I only watched about a third of the game, if that...but it appeared to be one of the better ones in a long time.

I don't follow the NCAA religiously but I've always liked Kansas, although I do admit that this last time around that Missouri should have been in a better bowl game than KU. Kansas didn't even make it to the Big 12 Championship. Missouri did, and even though they lost to Oklahoma, it was Kansas who ended up in the Orange Bowl. More power to 'em, but still...

It's stuff like that, that makes me favor the NFL because there's very little guesswork in where your favorite team stands.

Does it really? I thought it was all just a bunch of herbs and spices.

Although I guess it doesn't matter because I don't eat that crap anymore and anyway. KFC's really gone downhill in the last 20-some years.

Yvonna had a grapple and couldn't stop raving about them. This is how the conversation went after I tried to change the subject away from something I did not want to talk about:

Yvonna: ...so then Darryl came over to the park, all stalkin' me and shit and he caught us in the car doin' shit, I mean, really, dude was just eatin' me out but anyway--
Lucky: Uh, oh God, um. Have you ever tried a grapple? You know, those apple/grape fruit hybrids? I hear...
Yvonna: YES GIRL THEY ARE THE BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWMB YOU GOTS TO HAVE ONE ( ... )

Dude! I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of those psychics now. Ever since that one new show she stars in it's like everywhere I turn around, there's Jennifer Love Hewitt all predicting other people's future on Lifetime now. Which, I suppose if I had to have someone to communicate through the dead through, why not it be her? But, I don't need anyone else to do that. It's just me and my cards and my Ouija board. And NyQuil.

Why should I stop drinking coffee entirely? Do you realize that probably 90% of everything I've ever written has been done so by a caffeine buzz of some kind? You take that away...I just post surveys. I SWEAR TO GOD.
