My bowels/short bowel syndrome kicked my ass big time today. Having rice, chicken, and broth for dinner until it calms the eff down. It was friggin' broccoli you damned colon gdmfsob...

Can I borrow that excuse -- not the underlying condition -- next time She Who Must Be Obeyed serves broccoli?

While inquiring as to the trademark status of "Earnest Wieners," it doesn't appear to be taken. The funniest comps I saw were "Earnest Eats" and "Greener Wiener."

Trademarks are really expensive apparently.

Is it Ernest Wiener or Earnest Wiener? We must know. The Importance of Being Ernest Wiener.

Honestly, I have no idea. I called the emoji "Ernest" but probably write "Earnest" 80% of the time. It can be either depending on the situation, maybe? More of a mindset than anything...

It's clear that Homer's kryptonite is positive takes on packaged/processed food.

I like those little frozen mini pizzas. Pizza pops, too

Well, whichever it is, once we have hundreds of regular users and all that, I'll be happy to snag a hotdog t-shirt that displays either Ernest or Earnest

Oh, tee shirts are fucking happening. One way or the other.

ETA: what you do is have half the tee shirts say Ernest and the other half say Earnest. Just get those out into the community and let the public figure it out.

I hope Steve is still chipping away at the mountain, wherever he may be.

About that...

I may have mentioned my brief flirtation with the Gates of Hell in Costco, London, a couple of weeks ago. We'd just landed, hadn't eaten all day so my wife and I went to that food bar thing and ordered some yoke that, allegedly, contained chicken in some kind of batter or pastry. I'm no foodie. Just between you and me, and not to be shared with all the gastrophiles that frequent these parts, food, to me, is largely functional. What we got in Costco fell short of barely functional by some distance. The taste did linger a while. That's not a recommendation.

So the yoke was on you? :-(

Sorry to hear they gave you such bad food, and I hope you're feeling better, but I've only heard of "yoke" in the meaning of "A wooden harness for animals or a heavy burden". I'm no expert on food bars, but if they yoked you, I would complain to the police! *nod*

Sure! If she does it anyway, throw wet clay into the toilet and tell her you had the squirts

Ashen Marches seems to be on the right path after some careful consideration.
Short stories are flourishing.
Getting into flash fiction.
A choir concert awaits me today, and I am excited and nervous.
The day is Wednesday and I am glad its hump day.
School work is doing better than ever before.
Warhammer 40k armies are being 3d-printed soon.
I enjoy the world today, my little world with my limited perspective, and I hope to make the best of it.

I am happy.

Getting into flash fiction.
