Let me see if I got this straight…

If we don’t pass the “Stimulus” Bill, the world as we know it will end.

If we do pass this pork filled piece of shit, all of Obama’s political debts will be paid in full.

I’ve said it before, and I’m fairly certain that I’ll say again. Fuck You Obama, Nancy, Harry, and Barney, the cockgargling dinosaur as well.

I have eaten

some damned strange stuff, and though not all of it was even properly considered food, it falls well within the categories set forth by Elisson here. Twinkies and Guacamole? Check. bacon and fritos? Check. Bird’s nest soup? Um, no. No potage made from what-let’s face it- is the phlegm of a bird, is going to get guzzled by Og.

I’m not agin’ trying strange stuff, though, and while I’m not Bear Grylls, I have eaten a lot of stuff- my gag reflex is very controllable.

Want to get me retching, though, just sit out a spit cup.

I worked with guys who chewed, and I gotta tell you, nothing more disgusting to me than the mere THOUGHT of accidentally picking up someon’es skoal-smelling swill and gulping it accidentally.

One of my worst moments in my gig, was installing a system at a distributor in Kansas City, where the setup guy chewed; he’d left a ladder under the beam and as I moved it, his styrofoam spit cup fell over, and drenched me with the nastiness.

I had intended this to be a fly in, fly out- and had no spare clothes. So I ended up getting a hotel room, stripping down, and laundering my one and only suit of clothes whilst wearing a bedsheet like a toga.

The smell stuck with me longer than I would have wanted, and even on the plane, on the way home, I would have occasional moments of retching, thinking about the spit drenching my hair and clothes.

I’ve seen some strange things

And this is one of them.
