My son threw diet coke at me today, then laughed.

I am jealous of the fraggle rock set also.

i always wanted to eat those clear tinkertoy things they used to build.

I also have a deep seated fear of the Brady Bunch vacation movie where they go to Hawaii or whatever and Greg wakes up with the tarantula on his chest.

Why don't people name their children Tarantula? *gets knocked up and starts filling out a birth certificate*

Forest Whitaker is a great actor, but his eye bugs me.

I can't stand seafood.

I know this kid who once said, "Hey I know about Adolf Hitler. I know his brother Joe. He burned his ear on the stove"

I wish I liked tofu, but I just don't.

I have a student named Shannon Doherty and I have to work pretty hard to keep from calling her Brenda.

I'm pretty sure that my parents' aversion to junk food during my formative years is why I let Toucan Sam push me around, in my imagination.

The grossest thing I ever ate was a fish eyeball.

Fish eyeballs are crunchier than you would think, but not as crunchy as cheetos.

I like the colour orange more as I age.

My car is red and tiny.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous Crunch!!!

(It's Ranier here!)

No freaking way, the Fraggle Rock set??? How, why, when, where, WHAT!!!

So cool. You rock. Not like Fraggle Rock, but close.

How can Bender be 30% iron, 40% dolomite, 40% titanium and 40% zinc, with a 0.04% nickel impurity?

Feb-3-2007 12:00

That would be the ultimate compliment, I think: "You rock like Fraggle Rock."

^ you totally got those from a chain e-mail or something! I hate it when people send me that crap, but it appears to have come in handy today.
Okay. I wanna give a shout out to the the guy who denounced douche. Are you really a guy? Why do you know about the ph thing? Because it's true. That's why you don't continuously wash a self-cleaning oven. It does it ON IT'S OWN. My mom is a rotten cook. My dog's bunghole was shaped like a pink heart when he was a puppy. I love Nerds (the candy). My boyfriend IS a nerd. Macaroni & Cheese is delicious with Chili mixed in.

haha, I'm pretty sure I speak for a bunch of us when I ask: so what's it shaped like now???

(Do y'all see why I think cenoecox is the best-kept secret in sleuthville??? Like for real...anyone who can work douche, the self-cleaning oven thing and her mom's cooking into a single thought is AWESOME!). if you haven't you should read (NOT watch) 'Even Cowgirls Get The Blues' - in some ways, it's an anti-douche manifesto :)

Ranier, it was like this: the out-of-work failed playwright who lived next door to us had taken a last ditch effort and was doing some writing for the show at the time. So rather than actually BUY me a present, my parents took us all down to the CBC studio and dropped a name. lol little did I know the real payoff would be having my coolness even compared to fraggle coolness, 20-some odd years later. Stupid prebubescent lack of foresight :P

This always confused me. Weren't the tinkertoy things they built also a source of food? Why? What the hell?

Also, there was a live actor in that show, the older guy with the dog. I always confused him with the guy who finally adopted Punky Brewster.

But the set was wicked-cool. The rocks didn't look at all like spray-painted styrofoam, and I wasn't even remotely disturbed at the sight of all the fraggle puppets lying around lifeless because they didn't have some dude named Rascal into them up to his forearm. Not at all.

Their is a class of foods in the world that distinguish themselves by virtue of the fact that in eating the food, you also eat its container. Of all of these, the burrito is king.
