10 Things That Make You Go 'Hmm'

in

I’ve been bad about posting. Not much has happened, other than getting ready for the three shows I’m in this week. Anyway, here are Jessica’s 10 Things That Make You Go ‘Hmm"‘.

10 Things That Make You Go “Hmmm…”

  1. Are crabs (and we don’t mean pubic) social creatures?

  2. Are lemurs marsupials?

  3. Why are there 10 hot dogs per pack but only 8 hot dog buns per pack?

  4. How do they pick the Pantone color of the year? And what the hell is a Pantone?

  5. Why are clothes ever labeled “One Size Fits All” when it clearly isn’t true?

  6. Why is common sense not very common?

  7. Why does the carpool lane move slower than the fast lane?

  8. Do fish sleep with their eyes open?

  9. Why are they called chicken nuggets when chickens don’t have nuggets?

  10. Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Alright, time to get more stuff done. See you guys tomorrow.

10 Confusing Foods

Good evening, Jessica and I got on a rant about foods that must have been a beast to figure out.

————————————————————————— 

10 Foods That Can Confuse You

1. Edamame – don’t eat the pod

2. Artichokes – pull out barbed leaves and then scrape a meager amount of vegetable off the end.

3. Tamales – remove the corn husks 

4. Whole coconuts – they are NOT naturally sweet on the inside

5. Ethiopian food – you are supposed to eat with your hands, using that flat bread that is served with it to scoop it up.

6. Prawns/crayfish – remove the head and suck out the brain

7. Jalapenos/habaneros/ghost peppers – there’s a surprise in every bite!

8. Botan rice candy – yes, you are supposed to eat the wrapper.

9. Pineapple: it hurts to just hold it in your hand, plus that core is rock-hard.

10. That coffee that’s made from animals pooping out the bean/cherry.  Just no.  I don’t even want to know who figured this nonsense out.

————————————————————————— 

Alright, I have a ton of stuff to get done.  See you guys tomorrow. 

10 Things I Hate About Lines

in

Evening, all.  Jessica has been awesome and produced another top 10 list.  Here are 10 things that Jessica hates about lines.

10 Things I Hate About: Lines

  1. People who cut into them.
  2. If ordering food, people who get to the front of the line and STILL don’t know what they want.  Join the line AFTER you figure it out!
  3. People standing too closely to you in them.  Keep an arms-length distance, people!
  4. The person behind you repeatedly bumping into you in line.  See number 3!
  5. People standing behind you popping gum in your ear.
  6. People on the phone behind you in line ranting in your ear.
  7. Standing in line (esp. downwind!) behind someone who has B.O.
  8. Standing in line outdoors and the person in front of/behind you lighting up a cigarette.  Thanks for giving me cancer due to second-hand smoke, asshole.
  9. At the airport, people cutting into a boarding group to which they are clearly not assigned. 
  10. After handing in your boarding pass, standing in line to board the aircraft and waiting in line for people to shoehorn their oversized bags into the overhead bins and taking forever to do it because the bag DOES NOT FIT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED BAGGAGE! See previous post “10 Things I Hate About: Traveling”!

Thank you to everyone who has been really cool and supportive the past few days.  I really appreciate you guys.

I need to unwind.  See you all tomorrow.
