Sunday
At Smokin’ us 30 drags… no, that was something different.
Sunday night I had some tortilla chips and some onion dip. A couple bites in I realized that some of the onions were…. fuzzy.
the expiration date was January 11. 2010.
Guess I oughta look first.
Consequently Monday I had a case of Moctezuma’s revenge that allowed me, at several times during the day, to hover. I had to wet my palms and smack them onto the bowl and grip for dear life to avoid liftoff.
The dehydration headache and rapid heartbeat were merely a side effect.

Well, you didn’t blow the bottom out of the pot, so I guess you weren’t that bad off….
Wait–the toilet did remain moored to its drainpipe, right?
I’ve been told that “…what doesn’t kill you makes you stranger…”!
Ah, yes furry onion dip. One of life’s little “surprises” and a gift that keeps on giving. Not quite as much “fun” as furry clam dip, though.
hmmmm Chia dip!
Being allergic to the cellulose matrix of most everything onion, that’s not an unheard of reaction to ’em for me.
Fortunately, garlic doesn’t affect me that way, but any onion, shallot, caper and such tends towards that effect.
I can fry a steak in a pan with onion, just can’t have the onion itself.
And yes, I’ve gotta be careful ordering at restaurants.
That aside, I’m glad it was you and not me in that condition. You know it’s more than bad when you finally give in and install a seat belt on your toilet.

You know, it occurs to me that NASA might be interested in this as a propulsion system. You could call it the “Bumbuster V” and assuming you could get a decent specific impulse out of it, you might help us go back to the moon again!
Best part: NASA is used to working with extremely toxic propellants (monomethyl hydrazine, for example) so they wouldn’t have any trouble with this system.
Only problem I see is the EPA. They’re not happy with the solid propellant NASA used for the Space Shuttle, and this is probably worse.
Ed: this has merit. Have your people call my people.
I’m pretty sure that didn’t qualify as “solid” propellant…
Some days the high point is a satisfying dump. Being denied that just aint right.
“Fuzzy Clam Dip?”. I’ve never hear it called THAT, before.
I was myself wondering oif “Fuzzy Clam Dip” was a euphemism for something.
Looks like my quote is true, judging my these later posts.
Mike: Truer words are rarely spoken, believe me.
