Fast Food Cuisine
I may as well continue with another food-related post about fast food cuisine. Of course the term may seem an oxymoron but the author turns any idea of what really is cuisine by creating new meals using only fast food as ingredients. Some of the monstrosities he creates are the Fry-jita and the McNugget burger. You may think that’s horrible and ungodly and cruel but trust me when I say that any of his creations have nothing on the Hardee’s Monster Thickburger which weighs in at 1420 calories and 107 grams of fat. Somewhere angels are crying.
Grill Skill
Watch a clip from a 1980′s Wendy’s training video. Nothing helps cement knowledge in the mind like an obnoxious asshole with a spatula.
Cooking with….
You really don’t want to know. Suffice to say, it won’t be the secret ingredient on Iron Chef anytime soon.
Drunkards
Here are the results for the latest poll. In a nutshell my readership are drunkards. I certainly don’t have a problem with that because it means good times for me too. It also lets me know that my readership aren’t a bunch of tight-asses and can enjoy a drink every once in a while. Some may think I was drinking when I came up with the new super-gay look to this site. I wish I had been because I’d probably have passed out by now.
Metal Archives
Metal Archives serves as the one stop to learn more about various Heavy Metal bands. It’s ridiculously thorough as it features over 20000 bands. You can search my name, genre, or country. I spent more than my share of time there even though I’m not the hugest metal fan. I am however an information sponge so I’ll gladly glean whatever I can so that next time I’m having a conversation with a metalhead I can talk shit about their favourite band having never even really listened to much of their music and have them be impressed about how much I know. Like the fact that former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman is fluent in Japanese having dabbled in the 80′s and honing his craft by being the voice of Megadeth to Japanese interviewers whenever they toured there. Granted, it eventually led him down the path to leave Megadeth to pursue a career releasing shitty New Age music but it still interesting nonetheless. Rock My Socks!!!!
Random Acts Of Kindness
I can never really seem to get my shit together these days. A few days ago I was going to do a post to coincide with World Kindness Day which was on November 13th. But like always I got distracted and never got around to it. The funny thing is that it was an ill-conceived scheme in order to get people to enact random acts of kindness upon me and for me to reciprocate with a middle finger. Whoops! Who’s the asshole now?
Because I really have nothing else to put up tonight here is the site. It’s a week late but it’s the best I have. The website is rife with the types of things that make me want to throw up because I’m fairly skeptical of nice people. I mean, what’s their agenda? What do you want from me? At least with assholes you know where they’re coming from. Nice people almost always have something insidious under the surface.
If you’re bored check out the inspirational stories or send a card. Just keep a bucket handy.
The Real Deal
Interesting and thorough list of various Hip Hop/R&B artists and their real names. Some are obvious like R. Kelly’s real name being Robert Sylvester Kelly. Others must have pulled out of their ass because they’ve no resemblance to their real name like Biz Markie’s name Marcel Hall. After a quick read I decided that Quincy Jones middle name is the best I’ve ever heard. I mean c’mon, who wouldn’t want their middle name to be Delight.
Pe! Pe! Ro!
It’s obvious I’m hated. I mean why else would someone send me this. And me being the damn fool I am had to click on it.
From what I can gather the animations are for a confectionary called Pepero which is just like Pocky but Korean. Pepero will also help me with my love life because it seems like any time someone is feeling sad the five Pepero things come flying and cast their magic Pepero spells which turns sad hearts to happy hearts.
There is some good in this though. I learned a new trick in one of the cartoons that I’m waiting to try on a willing lady. It’s similar to the spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp but with Pepero.
Flametal
A while ago I wrote a post about the bringing together of the two disparate art-forms of Heavy Metal and Bellydancing. Oh how little I knew.
You see, the wonderful part about the internet is that it exposes me to such stuff as Flametal which is the coupling of Flamenco and Heavy Metal complete with incredibly beautiful dancers. I’ll save the synopsis because really you should just check out the video and galleries as it will give you a better idea of what they’re about.
In the meantime I’m gonna try and think up some other musical styles that can be mashed together to form something unseemly. Like thrash metal and dixieland jazz. Dixiethrash? Well, whatever I come up with I’m gonna need dancers. Please let me know if you’d like an audition.
Sumo!
Yes, I know that Halloween has been over for a few weeks but I really think that I’ve got my costume for next year sorted. All I need is a really long bed-sheet to make a Sumo diaper (pardon my cultural ignorance. I tried to google the proper name) and a lady to wrestle. Instructions on how to make your own are here.
