pet peeves

packing peanuts

puffed styrofoam bits, overstuffed in a box, can't get out what's inside without a waterfall overflow of the damned things

cant we stuff boxes with newsprint?

feed the monster

play the peanut butter game
and we shake it all around
play the peanut butter game
and it's such a joyful sound



the dogs seem to love this

Use Of Organic Peanut Butter Adds Two Minutes To Local Man's Life

bad skippy

i love peanut butter and the name of this site is skippy haha but in no way do i endorse the use of skippy peanut butter. ever. or any 'peanut butter' to which they've added cancer-causing 'fat' & 'sugar' to enhance its flavor/stirredness.

peanut butter should look like this




separation is
natural shake well stir it up
applies to good things

where do you think all the crap they add to the peanut butter goes? after years and years
lipomas everywhere

how bad is it? they won't even give the ingredients to their 'peanut butter' on the skippy peanut butter website. which happens to be peanutbutter.com. ba$tards.

they also make a 'natural' peanut butter, and instead of pumping it full of transfats like the regular skippy, they use palm oil and sugar and other garbage. it's a trick and it's gross marketing.

unskippy haha

addicted to peanut butter

gonna have to face it - you're addicted to peanut butter

jacques-yves cousteau, captain of the calypso, my hero

some of my favorite quotes from The Living Sea-

• In mutual joy of heading for rare adventure, everyone pitched in where needed.


• [re: excavating a sunken ancient Greek ship in the Red Sea]: The crest of the mound yielded clusters of small potteries that had been stowed between the necks of the amphorae...[lists items]..., and a ravishing miniature aphora that the ancients used to collect human tears.


• "To Your Health" inscribed on an ancient Greek mug


• "Russell said, 'You know sailing on board Calypso is so interesting you lose track of time. One morning you could wake up an old man.' I thought he touched on what we received as compensation for the dire struggles ashore. We were wresting weeks of timelessness from the sea."


• Calypso carried a 3 ton stainless steel wine tank which amused foreign oceanographers, some of whom travel on wretched craft without a drop aboard. Calypsonians could drink as much as they liked, average daily wine consumption per capita was about a pint.


• The snake circled around us languidly. The eyes in its incredible pinhead were so small we could not tell whether or not it was interested in us. I maneuvered for a camera position in front of it and motioned for Kientzy to swim into the lens field. He misunderstood and swung his hammer, trying to batter the snake's head into the floor. It was pretty ludicrous to see a man trying to hit an animal amost as fluid as water itself. Yet Kientzy succeeded with a terrible blow near the head. The snake swam nervously away despite the mortal wound. I asked the divers not to attack the snakes.

This last one reminds me of Clark W. Griswold's answer to the squirrel in the christmas tree - CATCH IT IN THE COAT, SMACK IT WITH THE HAMMER!
