Booyah and welcome!
Today's topic: Corn on the cob
Does anyone else despise corn on the cob as much as I do? I mean, it is like the most trying side dish ever. First you got to husk the thing, before you can even get to the sweet, sweet corn that lies within. Then you have to go through a whole process of buttering and salting (and whatever else you want to put on your corn) to your desired taste level.
After that's done, the hardship just continues. You have to pick the whole thing up with your hands, and corn cobs can be pretty heavy sometimes. Not to mention all your hard slathering and shaking is now all over your fingers. I mean, sure, they have like little corn holders you can get, but sticking those in is a whole extra step in the process. Plus, I've had more than my fair share of corn holders break under the weight of the cob (told you they can be heavy). The fact that they even have to make a whole seperate utensil for eating corn should be a sign of the ordeal to expect when approaching this particular piece of snackage.
Then there's the whole eating of it. You have to bite around it like some discolored, elongated apple. The corn just gets all stuck up inbetween your teeth and is all sorts of annoying. And once you're done, you still have this empty cob thing that you have to then get up and toss out. Arrgh!
If I never had to eat corn on the cob again, I could lead a perfectly happy life. Please present all corn to me creamed, or in bread form. Mmmm... especially bread form...
Thoughts?

Today's secret word: Fresas
Fresas... say it to yourself.
Say it out loud... but very quietly... in a hushed whisper... slowly...
Fresas.
Feel it roll off your tongue. Listen to it linger in the air.
Almost sensual, isn't it?
Fresas. . .

With Special Guest: Gavin DeGraw
So, my brother says to me the other day, "Well, I don't think Gavin DeGraw is anything to sneeze at." And I'm thinking, "Why the heck not?" Let's crush that belief right here. I don't care if it's Gavin DeGraw or the Dalai Lama, if I have to sneeze I'm gonna sneeze. I mean, I'll cover my nose and mouth. You have to be polite about that sort of thing. But I'm not going to hold back just because Gavin DeGraw is around. Him more than anyone.
I don't care what you want to be, Gavin. I don't want to be anything other than a person with allergies. Meaning, if I have to sneeze, I'm going to follow through. Especially around you. It's not like you ride around on a golden chariot. It's not like we're just friends, or something. And you never invite me to any of your chemical parties.
Anyway, nice to meet you.
Over-rated jerk...

Support your local: Haberdashery
Yes. That's right. Haberdashery. Think about the last time you heard that word... probably never, right? Do you even know what it means? No, you don't! Stop lying! You have no idea the true power of the haberdashery.
You thought it was just a place to buy thread and buttons. Maybe a hat or some crap. But it is so much more than that. They have swords, and mousetraps, and crucifixes... That's right! The haberdashery is the supplier in your holy crusade against the creatures of the night. The crucifixes to keep their evil at bay, the swords to cleave their blackened hearts asunder, the mousetraps... to catch the mice that keep eating my provolone.
Haberdasheries can be found anywhere. So, the next time you walk into your nearest retail shop, scream "Haberdashery!" at the top of your lungs, in exultation. Then run away.
Everyone will think you're quite mad.

Special Report: Canine Allergies
Some people are allergic to dogs. But did you know that dogs can be allergic to you? Or more accurately, to babies?
That’s right. One of the biggest allergens to canines is a newborn baby. Preferably between 2 weeks to 6 months old. Any dog coming in contact with a baby can suffer from several symptoms. Most dogs will sneeze or cough at the scent of an infant and skin contact usually results in severe itching. If you notice your dog excessively scratching, or licking and biting its paws, there’s a good chance it came in recent contact with a baby. In extremely rare and severe cases, an infant may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even death.
However, these allergies can also be used to keep your playful pup in check. For instance, I’ve built a wall around my house out of dead babies. Not only is it far more interesting than a chain link fence, but after a couple tries, my dog soon learned not to try to leave the yard, lest it end up with a severe rash. And it is well known that rubbing a small infant in a pitbull’s face is the only way to keep it from attacking.
As always, consult your veterinarian for more information on canine-infant allergies, and before putting your best friend on a dead baby regimen.
