I did once put mayonnaise on an Oreo in the name of SCIENCE!, and so the rest of you fine people don't have to.

It isn't a good mix, but now we know.

I just threw up in my mouth a little

But at least I took one for the team so you don't have to throw up on anything else!

If you think my opinions on fascism are strong, wait until you hear my opinions on mayo

Saving this for the next time someone accuses me of being part of a gang because of my post-liking habits.

What gang does liking this make me a part of?

Nothing gets people going like condiments. The next civil war will be fought not over ideology, but creamy vs. crunchy peanut butter

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Crunchy would be the best if they cut the amount of nuts by 50%.

Once I tried a specialty brand that claimed to be perfect because it was crunchy but with less nuts. Only they went too far and didn't have enough and I can't stop thinking about it.

Better to have civil war than to live at peace with the crunchists! Their conduct in the Peanut Wars of 1936-38 is completely unforgivable.

You'll come under fire from both sides with dirty centrist talk like that

Jimmy Carter will egg it on as he stands to profit by selling to both sides. That's how you know it'll get ugly.

EDIT: My apologies for my uncalled-for accusations towards Mr. Carter. He sacrificed his prized peanuts for America.

Top Five Films by Stanley Kubrick

Kubrick is far and away my favorite director. If I did "Top Five Movies" he'd probably be up there at least three times, so I thought I'd go off the beaten path and maybe introduce anyone who's never seen one of these pictures to the 20th centuries' greatest filmmaker.

5.) Full Metal Jacket - One of the best war movies ever made. None of the themes explored are political in nature, so there's no whiff of an agenda on that front. The film was a true "slice of life" where Kubrick insisted on as much authenticity as possible and went to some extreme lengths to get it.

4.) A Clockwork Orange - Adapted from the Anthony Burgess' novel of the same name, the films remakes the narrative as a dark Dcomedy with very explicit violence and sexual content. The setting is a somewhat dystopic future version of the UK. If you aren't into/okay with those sort of things this one might not be for you.

3.) 2001: A Space Odyssey - Kubrick's most financially successful film, and the only one which won an Oscar. Don't over-think it and just accept the fact you're along for the ride. It's quite a trip.

2.) Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Loving the Bomb - If you've never seen him you owe it to yourself just for Peter Sellers' who played three of the main characters. This was also the first appearance of James Earl Jones in a feature film.

1.) Barry Lyndon - Adapted from the novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, this is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Kubrick pushed the limits of cinematography and secured incredible performances from a sketchy cast. Watch this and then afterward watch literally anything else with Ryan O'Neal. You won't believe it's the same guy.

My favorite anecdote in learning a bit about the man and how/why he made his movies is the incredible fact that every shot of this film (which takes place mostly in Ireland and England with a brief excursion in Prussia in the mid-late 1700s) was shot in natural light. This was achieved through the use of special lenses which had been designed by NASA. Kubrick modified them to fit movie cameras, and the rest is history.

This is one of those things I want to instinctively reject as unnatural, and yet it is intriguing...

Anyone who has partaken in... you know... will instantly recognize that adding chips to anything is a valid enhancement, regardless of how unnatural and sacrilegious it seems at first blush.

Hell... half the "special/seasonal" offerings at Taco Bell-KFC are things that one can immediately recognize as stuff that only the mind of a stoner would come up with... from tacos wrapped in quesadillas with Frito chips on top, drenched in hot sauce, to bowls of battered-fried chicken nuggets mixed with mashed potatoes, corn, beans, smothered with gravy and microwaved

That would have been my hypothesis.

Funny! One time I was dared to dip an Oreo in pink dip, a midwestern abomination produced by a combination of mayo and ketchup. It gave me a migraine.

For being farmers and all midwestern USA-ians have horrible, terrible, no good, very bad food.

McDonalds' "special sauce" is nothing but a mixture of all the condiments you put on hamburgers/hot dogs... ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish.

Try it when you get home if you don't believe me... heck... just think of what the color, texture and appearance of the mixture would be... a pale pink/orange goop with little bits of pickle in it that tastes great on hamburgers.

There's that joke in Fast Time's at Ridgemont High: What's your fast food's special sauce? Thousand Island Dressing. What's your's? Catsup and mayo.
