Since last thursday AM, I have eaten nothing except very small amounts of cottage cheese, broth, and sugar free popsicles. I have not been a happy camper.

I have been experimenting with different spices on the cottage cheese to change thinsg around, and I have had some luck. Celery seed, for instance, is nice. So, I think, would be ground dill- whole dill seed, on the other hand, is a definite no. Garlic? Way no. Mustard: not bad. Cinammon: ummmm, no. Ok, maybe. Paprika, maybe.

The upshot of all this is that without putting anything solid in, nothing solid comes out. With a diet of jello and popsicles and cottage cheese, you tend to shit gravy in fluorescent colors. The food colorings go through your system utterly unscathed, so it’s a mixture of FD& C Yellow #6 and bilirubin, which makes for some interesting greens.

Also,. since I have been limiting my experiences to one spice at a tiem, I can safely say I can identify most spices by the smell of the shit they create. What value this will have to me in future is not for me to know.

Go now. Read.

If you disagree with a single word of that post, you are probably an idiot.

One of my daily stops, and possibly the prettiest black man in the blogosphere, makes a comment in this post about a guy delivering pizzas in a Lexus SUV.

When I worked in the mills, there were hundreds of expensive luxury cars in the parking lots.
No, not NEW expensive luxury cars.

Everytime I see someone spending 53,000 bucks on an Audi, I think, you know, in ten years, some millrat is going to be driving that to Inland. The power windows won’t work and they’ll be too expensive to fix. The transmission will have problems and he’ll go broke trying to fix it. A tuneup will cost him more than a nice dinner for four at a very expensive restaurant. He’ll get a cheap set of steel wheels and Wal-Mart wheel covers because they’ll cost less than the P-Metric radials the car came with. The driver’s seat will be torn up and nasty, and he’ll use an old rag rug to cover it up. He’ll have a rubberband to hold the key in place because it will fall out otherwise. The radio, long since stolen, will be replaced with an Audiovox special. bare wires twisted together will be visible under the dash. The carpet will be matted with years of crap. The trunk will long since have failed to be openable, so there will be a spare tire and a jack in the backseat.

Mercedes is looked on in Europe as Dodge is looked on here. Crappy cheap cars. They have a reputation here because of marketing- nothing else. Fact is, people spent more money on benzes and they last longer becuase they’re taken care of better. Any car you maintain will last a long time. My truck has a quarter of a million miles plus, and everything still works. People that own big SUV’s and don’t ever take them offroad are just goofy. You should see the shit Dick does with his bigass truck- THAT is what an SUV was meant to do.

Yeah, drive that Lexus around. It’ll be toting pizzas in a few years. Meanwhile try not to spill anything on the seat.
