That's a lot of Salmonella

So I finally got around to checking the numbers on my Peter Pan peanut butter. Mine is the bad batch. So, I opened it out of curiosity to see how much I had eaten. Well, it was a lot...

I guess I either have a strong stomach or I just bought the lucky one that didn't get the bug. What a PR nightmare.

Sick sense of humor

I don't know why I think this is so funny, but it just is.

Thanks to The Piton.

Dumpster Diving

Found a crazy Web site today... This is a discussion board for people who go dumpster diving for fun:

This one guy here found the car from this photo and recovered it and converted it to electric:

Haggis, anyone?

Okay just got back from Scotland and the first thing I ate over there was Haggis, Nippers and Tatties. Here's the definition of haggis, from dictionary.com:

A Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal.

Okay that's just wrong. But it tastes so good.

Well, Lamar's came through again with really strong drinks and a fun show on Friday night. In fact when my neighbors wanted me to go to the Local to watch Melelee Roots on Saturday I almost thought about it but realized that it would be so ridiculously awful in comparison to Friday's show that my head might explode, so I didn't go. Anyways, Keith John Adams opened, then Casper and the Cookies played and then Elekibass. They were all really fun to see, starting with me walking in on the middle of KJA's set and him following me with a guitar and asking my name and then later dedicating a song to me while threatening me if I left because, as he said, "it's really embarrasing when you dedicate a song to someone and then they leave."

Well, I didn't leave, I stayed and loved both bands after him. Elekibass came out dressed in three-piece suits, something you sort of expect from Japanese alt-punk-post-whatever musicians, but with carnival masks as well, something I didn't expect at all. I ended up blowing a huge amount of money at the merch booth, but that gave me an excuse to stay home Saturday night and relive the night before with the assistance of my new stereo.

I just found out that

I just found out that you can have Get Fuzzy comics put on merchandise. I love the merch booth. Here's today's comic. Satchel could be the funniest character ever. Just look at his face. I don't even have a dog...

And speaking of funny photos, this is one I found recently that I wanted to get into the blog so I'll always have it... By the way, went to look at a new condo on the Southside of Chattanooga and felt like a gentrifier sort of, but decided that this is more like pioneering since there are no citizens to displace. This place was a no-man's land. And now there's Hiroshi's!

Our Hymns Don't Suck!

Found a great thing online: The Church Sign Generator. Simply type your message in to see it on a church sign photograph that you can then save and put on your own blog. Here are mine:
