twinkies and robotech
Wednesday, September 22, 2004

I am really worried about twinkies. I guess you've heard about their financial troubles? This stupid carb craze may just wipe Twinkies from our supermarket shelves. Stupid carbs. I don't know about you, but I'm going to do my part to make sure my children's children's children will be able to eat fresh--though old is good too--twinkies everyday with their lunch. So get out there and buy some twinkies!

We've been discussing the possibility of a live action robotech movie. Wouldn't that be cool! It would need to be set during the Macross era so that we could see Rick, Lisa, and Minmei do their thing. Of course the biggest stars we could find would have to camp it up. Who should we cast?

It's not so much that Twinkies are high in carbs (for that, they would have to contain actual food), but that they are nearly 100% chemical in nature. That "Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil" you read on the ingredients, makes up nearly the entire twinkie, and is one of the WORST things you can ingest, including lard but excluding cigarette smoke. It actually adds to your bad cholesterol, subtracts from the good. Ain't science grand? Blue Sun invented it, I'm sure.

When I'm rich and famous, I've already decided to pick out the best possible screenwriters, and have the three each write a trilogy based on the Macross saga I'm familiar with from my Saturday morning cartoons (Vol 1: Minmei, Vol. 2: Dana Sterling, Vol. 3: Invid Invasion). This would take years... notice the change in technology in both world and filmmaking between 'Star Wars' and 'Attack of the Clones.'

Directors would be a trick--- 3, or 9? I'm leaning toward 3. The writers do not get to direct. And today's famous actors (I'm thinking I'd do Vol 2 first, to keep the uneducated guessing) are not tomorrow's famous actors.

Anyway, that's just what I was thinking. It's important to cast a lot of no-names. Saves on budget. And, as we've learned from 'Serenity,' is often f---ing cool.

Have you ever injected spiced rum inside the twinky and mixed it around with the cream filling?

Have to put that on my list of things to do.

You want junk? I can send you some junk. What exactly in the ways of junk do you desire?

Don't worry!! You can buy kits now to make them yourself at home. Not as quick and probably not quite as preservy, but it can be done. My mom use to pack me ho-hos...do they still make them?

I'd want the mecha done like on the beastie boys video though, none of this CGI rubbish, I like Godzilla looking like a gorilla, there's assonance to it.
Also how can you eat more than half a twinkie and then not need an entire blood transfusion to replace the lost moisture. I've eaten two twinkies in my entire life (i live in the UK) and i had to separate the acts by a week of incessant rehydration. How can one food stuff contain so much sugar? its liable to collapse in on itself creating a gravitational field that neither time, light nor americans can escape! Okay I'm just messing with ya their actually quite nice, I'm just jealous cos we don't get them over here! I've been pining for american junk ever since the nice canadian lady on the due south website sent me milkduds. okay i'm only writing to avoid a meeting.
