i heart hostess…

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

I read an interesting blog about what goes into a twinkie. It’s kinda scary…

You can read it for yourself. [link] I don’t know that I will be having any twinkies in my diet any time soon (not that there have been any in years).

My favorite quote from the article is:

Deconstructing the Twinkie is like trying to deconstruct the universe. We think the millions of people … would agree that Twinkies just taste great.

David Leavitt, Vice President Snack Marketing at Hostess.

On a side note… A friend told me that they use Drano in the making of Mountain Dew. mmm….Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy … Doesn’t it?

Don’t worry… It’s just the Drano…

a helping of charles for the day (year)

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

One of my favorite authors is Charles Bukowski (say that five times fast).  I like him so much that I thought I’d share… not one…but pretty much everything he has ever written (enjoy).

I think that was a roach…

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

 

A few weeks ago…one of the light bars at Barton College came crashing to the ground.  One of the cords holding it up had rotted and snapped in half.  According the Steve Bass the Light beam crashed “through the floor.”

Upon arrival… there was a light beam lying on the ground mangled and bent, but sadly… there was nothing “in the floor.”  Sort of disappointing…I must say…  We worked hard all day re-hanging the lights…at around 4.30… it was quitting time in Cody and my mind.  Unfortunately, Steve still had another hour of work in mind.

Next… time to head to the hotel to get showers before dinner… correction… motel… uh…. Correction… Scariest Motel ever… I mean not Bates Motel scary but defiantly sketchy… I got the honors of the first show… it was sort of like taking a shower under a garden hose… one very narrow stream… on a bright note…there was hot water…

On to dinner…Chili’s Terrible Service! (sung) I don’t even want to say anything more… other than… That was my last time eating at Chili’s

Finally back to the room for a little TV… Cody pulls back his sheets only to find… wonderfully stained sheets… I waited a few min… tried to get online… OH JOY… who would have thought that the internet is broken at this amazing estate…. Then I pull back my sheets… sigh…same as Cody’s.

Time for a little TV to try and forget about this horrible cave of a room…

I must say… there is nothing better than watching TBN with Cody… as well as…

STATE OF THE UNION…Karate Kid… Monday Night RAW…South Park…and Scrubs all in one night…man, what a great night in TV History. That’s some amazing “Stratiegerie!”

Imagine living your retirement out on the road in a converted Garbage Truck….

I mean I have to admit… the inside doesn’t look that bad…

the pits…

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

So I just heard about this new restaurant, from New Raleigh, called The Pit.  I’m going to have to go check it out and see what all the fuss is about… Thou it seems sorta weird that their menus look like Raleigh Times…

Thus proving my belief that every new restaurant or bar in Raleigh is just a clone of the previous success.. (does Hatem own this one too?)
