Omg, imagine if it was your job to write stuff like this. It would probably rule.
Speaking of ruling, this salad rules. The co-op and Taylor's have celery root (aka celeriac). You don't need a food processor, just grate it, and you can use less olive oil than they say to, as usual. It is so freaking good. When I was at the co-op two weeks ago I cursed it because it was insanely crowded and they didn't have jalapenos (jalapenos are a staple and there is no excuse for any market bigger than a corner store to not have them). Yesterday I shopped in the bulk bins and there were so many cool exotic ingredients. And everything was so cheap. So I am giving the co-op another try. I have to stop giving half my check to Taylors.
Shows:
Swords Award and The Pizzas tonight. Knock Knock at Delta of Venus tomorrow, Sic Alps at Fool's Foundation tomorrow. You can probably go to both if you try.
I thought those stick-figures were "kill stickers" like you'd see on the side of fighter airplanes, representing how many pedestrians one had mowed down.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they get any requests for households with multiple daddies/mommies? The possibilities are endless...
i actually have a sticker with calvin peeing on my stick fambly.
ReplyDeleteOoooh...a simple and quick way to fill my vegetable quota for the day. And delicious too (I'm taking your word for that). I can't wait to try it. I am so lazy. -GW
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the paranoia in that article:
ReplyDelete"I think you make yourself vulnerable, 'cause they know there's kids," he says. "But, you know, we drive a van, so it's pretty obvious we have kids."
So the worry is that some unidentified 'they' will be wandering around looking for random children to kidnap, notice a minivan, see the stick family sticker, and figure out that they've hit pay dirt. And not having a sticker on your van makes this whole thing less likely.
wow jb, you read the article?

ReplyDeleteIs this the same Bee reporter who covered the high profile story on the popularity of Support Our Troop and Breast Cancer Awareness car magnets? Whenever I need to know the latest in car decal trends, I'm glad to know that the Bee is right there!

OMG, I'd bet working at Midtown Monthly rules, too! Because writing mediocre stories for a monthly that five people read is so much cooler than writing mediocre stories for a daily that everyone reads.
ReplyDeleteSheesh ... leave the girl alone. She's an intern, for christ's sake.
Let me guess, you work at The Bee?

ReplyDelete-- PATRONE!!!!
"She's an intern for Christ's sake" get it!??!
ReplyDeleteJokes are always much funnier when they're explained. That way you've learned something. And isn't that much more important than a cheap joke?
ReplyDeleteNed Flanders forgot to point out the "pwned" is internet slang that means "owned".
"Pwned" is a corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."
Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."
It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
An example of this word being used:
Did you see that car crash where 27 people died after someone swerved to avoid a cat?"
"PWNED."
See Mr. Patrone, the Sac Bee, and giddy interns, you've learned 2 things now!
Now go outside and play.
The words you kids at the Bee use these days.
ReplyDeleteI don't think "learned" is the term you're looking for..."pissed on my brain" is more appropriate, but thanks for the exciting lesson on hacker speak!
