Random Raves XLVII: Who wants cookies?

[Timsup2nothin]

Could have gone worse.

 

[Farm Boy]

That could have gone worse indeed! Peanut butter is yum. I try to line up fruits, particularly oranges beforehand. They're fun to mess with, good for you, and there's just something about tearing into a fresh fruit.

Yeah...not necessarily. I got hold of a bag of nectarines one time when the munchies had a firm grip and devoured the whole thing. Amending "this too shall pass" by adding "with astonishing muzzle velocity" is not great, especially the next day when you have forgotten all about the devoured fruit and have to figure out what you have done to your system this time.

But he was hungry.

Last time my friend and I indulged in psychedelics we went up to the Muir Woods, on the other side of the Golden Gate from San Francisco. He brought an entire package of dried pears and ate all of them except the three or so I ate (I brought some snacks of my own, and we both had water).

On our way out he had to make a pit stop at the bathroom. I'm not sure how long he was really in there, but at the time it felt like we were going to be stranded out there overnight.

 

[Snerk]

Yeah dried fruit can pack a punch to the digestive system. At least mine. Approach with caution.

 

[Farm Boy]

See, entertainment, snacks, and a purge for health. All win!

Better than like an entire loaf of bread.

Oh, no question. Not that I would know.

 

[Farm Boy]

I realize it's not entirely bread, and I was allowed preparatory smushing and water... but my record for a loaf of Wonderbread is 59 seconds.

 

[Lexicus]

A loaf of bread? You pikers. Try three dozen-donut boxes from Dunkin Donuts in one night

I get sick after two donuts.

Thirty-six.........

It's not about the volume. Do-nuts have the icing and such to break up the binding effects of straight bread. The punishment aspect of "put him on bread and water" isn't blandness and boredom, it's the effect it has on your digestive system...which will make you think that you must have eaten some wet concrete that has since set up in your guts.

 

[Farm Boy]

Just remember, if you ever go ayahuasca-ing(someplace it's legal, but of course), there is a good chance that you are going to have an aggressive filters-off evacuation. It's a grounding experience, but probably best prepared for. Good to keep in touch with yourself.

Hmm, yeah I've been there...

The landlord did a pumpkin patch thing yesterday where they gave away free pumpkins, hot chocolate and popcorn to the residents and set up activities for the little bastards. It was a fun break during our move and the hot chocolate was really good and we picked a pumpkin to carve a jack-o-lantern in. Not sure if I want to carve Bender or Nibble in the pumpkin this year. Anyone got any thoughts?

I suggest taking a third option and doing Flexo.

You're not supposed to eat the pits.

Mandatory: In Soviet Russia, pits eat you.

A woman on the radio this morning said there's a lot of knitting going on in Santiago, Chile. It is possible I misheard her.

Killing, actually.

Is that an Attack of the Killer Tomatoes spinoff? Attack of the Soviet Nectarines?

 

[Takhisis]

Tomaccoes.

Rave: the Fidelio X2 headphones I bought sound badass and are incredibly comfortable. Might have found a permanent replacement for my aging Sennheiser 598

Today feels like it's going to be a GOOD day!!
