The 96%, More or Less

Count me in.

Speaking of wishful thinking, here's what I demand/expect from the upcoming 2012:

1. More courteous thank-you hand gestures when I let people merge.

2. Less sodium intake.

3. More reflection on the music I bought ten years ago. More listening to that music in my car and remembering how much Fantastic Damage changed my taste in Hip-Hop and music in general.

4. Less Tebowing from everyone.

5. More grilled asparagus and exotic beer tasting.

6. Less time spent having to use my current pair of glasses.

7. More Dodger games attended.

8. Less worrying about the roots slowly decaying from beneath my molars.

9. More time off from work spent with the Mrs.

10. Less cutting people off mid-sentence. Not sure how I picked this up but it's a dick move and I've already cut back.

11. More of a routine around health checks. Medical benefits being wasted every month is nonsense.

12. Less jury duty.

13. More movie watching and less TV show watching. There's so much I still haven't caught up on.

14. Less people blocking the driveway.

15. More visits to Seal Beach.

16. Less TVs falling on my head in the warehouse.

17. More priority around updating IEC and reminding myself how fun it is to write.


Be safe you filthy animals!

Why You Should Subscribe To This Is Why You're Fat

Oreo cream centers removed and melted into a dip.

That's the latest from This Is Why You're Fat, a website that follows one simple outline: send us the most fattening, non-nutritious blends of innovative junk food and we'll post it for all to see. Everyone that I've shown the website to has since found at least one thing on there they've eaten before or wouldn't mind eating for the first time. Page after page, bacon strip after bacon strip, watch as your mood slowly changes from disgust to desire.

Each recipe can be categorized one of three ways: 1.) Those that are made simply for shock value and can't really be eaten, 2.) Those that are moderately-to-grossly overindulgent but still feasible food, and 3.) Those that are hilariously over-the-top stupid but possibly delicious.

My favorite are those that fall into the third category which include:

• The Pizza Party - A DiGiorno pizza on top of a Jack’s pizza topped with Totino’s pizza rolls.
• Bacon Wrapped French Toast Sticks Stonehenge - French toast slices wrapped in bacon and built to look like Stonehenge.
• French Fry-Encased Hot Dog On A Stick - Hot Dog coated in french fries.
  

For all of us in California you'll feel right at home looking at pictures of In-N-Out's Animal Style Fries or Jim's Super Burgers D.U.I.. I still don't get how thousand island dressing on top of cheese on top of fries is anything but disgusting, but this is why we're fat. Those of you might remember that five months ago I visited our local landmark Pink's for America The Beautiful and lived to tell about it. Although I've yet to see it on TIWYF I'm sure it'll be submitted sooner or later. God bless America!
