Follow the spiders? Why couldn’t it be follow the butterflies?

James B (who created this week’s poll) frightened me with a true story about tonsil stones. I have to admit, it was pretty gross. Look up pictures of them on Google Images if you doubt me.

I simply had to get even. I told him about a German fellow who was recently killed and eaten by his pet spiders. I shit you not (If you are arachnophobic, I strongly suggest you do not follow that link). I can’t think of a worse way to go, except maybe:

  1. Forced to listen to Celine Dion nonstop for a week
  2. Forced to have only meat drinks (See link of the day below)
  3. Four more years of the current administration

    After perusing The Sun it struck as something akin to The National Enquirer or The Weekly World News. Do not get me wrong I truly love and respect these paragons of journalism. Just watch the movie Men in Black and all will revealed. In fact, I was devastated to find that my personal favorite, Weekly World News, would no longer be greeting me at the check out stand. It is now online only. My point is this: if it is in print, it must be true. After all, Bat Boy is a friend of mine.
    Yep, The tonsil stones thing is pretty gross.

    I was disappointed in the meat drink link. I was really hoping to see more in the way of meat milkshakes. Here’s one from my personal collection:

    Beef Smoothie (just like Mom used to make)

    1/2 c. Beef broth
    1/2 c. heavy cream
    1/4 lb. grilled steak - rare, cubed
    1 tsp each salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder

    Mix all ingredients in blender till smooth. Add 1/2 cup ice and continue mixing till smooth and creamy. Yummy.

    I was fine with the spiders. But there was a picture (unmentioned in Dave’s warning, I might add) of a snake.

    As for the four more years of the current administration, I think it may just be possible. The Constitution limits a president to 2 terms but what if the administration declares that it was, indeed, NOT elected in 2000 after all and would be eligible to run again in 2008?

    There. THAT’s for the snake picture.

    Gross out your readers day.
    I LOVE YOU DAVE!! ;)

    Tonsil stones falafel sandwiches for all to enjoy with their choice of Meatball shake, T-bone malt or Spam Smoothie.

    I have a friend who suffered a broken jaw on the first play of the first game of our Industrial League softball season. After his jaw was wired shut for a week he hankered for meat to the point he put a hamburger, fully dressed, in a blender with a glass of milk. He said it was the best he’d ever had!

    I’ll see your tonsilith, and rais you one Fecaloma.

    I love the ‘net. I learn so much.

    PS: Speaking of meat drinks, I feel the need to share this link for a recipe for a Weenie ‘Tini.

    Boner Appetite!

    The spider thing is just further proof that Mother Nature will win every time we humans think she is our “pet”.

    Mother Nature has nasty crawlies that BITE.

    As much as spiders freak me out, I’d rather be killed and eaten by them than tortured with Celine Dion’s music for a week. :dead:

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to have a Bloody Rib with Tail Boy. :P

    > Forced to listen to Celine Dion nonstop for a week

    That’s the grossest thing I’ve heard all week.
