OK people I want to have some fun with a work holiday thing. We have this potluck thing where each floor brings in a bunch of food and decorates a conference room and everybody travels around the building grabbing food and checking out the decorations. Someone had the idea that this year we should make a christmas tree out of canned goods. I was to come up with the weirdest canned foods possible and bring in some of those. And to even the karma scales I'll bring a can of chunky soup for each crazy can I bring in.

Let's think up some good ones. What sort of things are pickled? I'm sure there's something good that starts with that. Creamed something or other is probably a good one too.

oooh you have to get pickled eggs... and maybe something like hog jowls or what have you. I know that you can order godzilla meat on the internet...that could be fun:)

A guy at work suggested Beondegi. Apparently that's like pickled silk worm. I'd have to find a Korean grocery store for that.

Though it would still be fun enough just to see the decorators pull that out of the donation bin and be all "wtf is this stuff?".

I get my jollies in some of the strangest ways.

Yum. Who doesn't want to try godzilla meat? Alligator (fried) isn't half bad. I'd think godzilla would be something like that.

Ever tried mocha? It's kinda like a slightly bitter hot chocolate. Very drinkable. With caffeine.

Or you could try some whiskey.

I'm drinkin' flavored coffee right now. It's called COFFEE! Seems our society deems it our right, no, our duty to "improve" upon the flavors set before us. Everything is so over flavored and "improved" upon these days I wonder if some people even know what their food really tastes like.
And you poor women. It is the same with alot of you. So many need not any improvement or enhancement at all. I say this because I like the way black coffee tastes. I like to taste the subtle differences between rice types. And I love the little things different about people both inwardly and outwardly. And being a man who likes appreciating the different flavors of women, AI-YA! There are so many great things about the opposite sex that there is no way to list or understand them.
Just in a wierd mood. Think I'll shut up now.

I don't drink it for the flavor of base coffee, I drink it for the caffeine. The base flavor is, to me, rank. Thus I add the flavoring to wake up, and chew gum quickly afterwards to remove the nasty smell from my mouth.

HA! Just thought of something. What would happen if we A. put a full bottle in a room with B. A cool assed Irish Hippie and C. and crazy Indian?

Answer: Not sure. Maybe we should take a poll or something. Seems that whiskey is sounding more and more enticing as time crawls on by.

Never thought of myself as sitcom material. Think I even wrote a piece detailing why I don't belong in the sitcom world. Thinks I may have to find it.

So much for persuasion. I was gonna say persuade me harder but it seems like I might need to get all manner of belligerant soon.

It also increases the randomness and TMI content in posts...which in turn gives the rest of us something to do during our boring ass days.

High heels and slinky dresses, Tight jeans and baby t's, unmentionables that I more often than not love to hear mention of, it's all good. Folks gotta wear clothes. I'm just sayin' appreciating more than how a woman looks all gussied up is important. Appreciating a womans natural body and skin tone should be the focus. Soft spots, blemishes, stretch marks, scars... those are the things I find appealing. Can't exactly appreciate airbrushing and Photoshopping by touch now can we?

A: I so totally agree with NV. Wear tight clothes, stuff to make us drop our jaw, but also understand that we want to wake up next to you, not the made up you. show us messy hair, unmade up faces. It is very appealing.

B: just voted on the tv vote and saw that X-Files hit a milestone. However, the picture they had had no Mulder. Wasn't he kinda pivotal to the show?

C: Morning all. Having a Monday for a Wednesday. Hate days like that. Can I get a brain transplant?

Pill. Yeah. It was the birth control pill they shoulda taken instead of creating a child they couldn't raise/teach/regulate. As for the kid, don't let them live in the fantasy. I'm confident you are a great enough person as to tell the kid the truth. But I'm sure it's your responsability (in the parents eyes) to let this kid continue in a fantasy that is not only untrue but harmful.

Oh yeah. Love the mussed hair hazy eyed grins of a happy morning.

Don't get me wrong ladies. It is just nice to see a woman who they are as opposed to who other people think they should be. Of course it is always a nice surprize to complement a woman and have her reply, "I wore it for you,"

Of course, "Would you like to take it off for me?" is also a nice thing to hear.

I thought of this alot lately not just because of my appreciation of the subject (one of my very favorites, but because I realized someone could actually appreciate me. I just never fully realized how someone can fully appreciate me as a person. Mind, body, and souls seem to be split between people one at a time. Not that everything is perfect, but now I have a little more faith in the chance of ever finding it again.

No doubt. Why bother with the interweby thingy if something might offend. There is way too much open chance for that.

Although I wanna strangle the spammer POS that keeps e-mailing me for some BS dating site. Funny thing that set me off. A girl came into my buds shop and wanted BELLA in cursive writting across her wrist. When looking for little symbols to put at the end of it she replied, "Ooh. I want a star."

Needless to say I almost lost my temper. Bella Starr is the spammer. Coincidence? You make the call.
