I thought it was good, too, and was meaning to link it here.

It's fascinating having kids and watching them start to grasp numbers. Both kids went through a phase where they understood numbers up to 4, but not beyond. Casper now (6.5) can do addition and subtraction up to 20 (partly using her fingers) and is really good with change (can pick which coins you need to make 87 cents) but does not fully grasp the concept of the 10s and 100s places. I got her an abacus hoping that would help.

Perkins - i just got over a case of conjunctivitis. If i hadn't already scoured my entire house and laundered everything not stapled down i would share some of the virus with you. My advice: go around touching doorknobs, then your eyes.

I can totes do this!

Oh dear God....

Thanks, 1970s Japan!: Insane Star Wars-Themed Commercial for Sea Chicken [Video]

Answer: Chewbacca jumping and yelping like someone just gave him a hearty Wookiee-neutering. Horrible doppelgangers of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia. “Sea chicken,” a screeching mantra that will haunt your ears like nothing else since “RED RUM.” The geisha-like version of C-3PO that you never imagined could be more effeminate than the original. Typical Japanese batshit craziness.

Question: What can you find in this Star Wars-themed Japanese commercial for Sea Chicken from the 1970s?

Why is it that every individual kid at the high school down the street must be dropped off by a large SUV? Each precious little angel is dropped right at the curb, so that they do not have to walk an additional step to the front door.

I want to collect them all in a big container, tag them w/GPS, and drop them off in the middle of Brooklyn. Then we'll place bets on how many of them die before nightfall.

PS: I was twenty minutes late due to SUV/Kid dropoff this morning. TAKE THE FUCKING BUS.

Bacon Flavored Popcorn

Bacon POP combines the comfort and flavor of yester-year food with the convenience of today’s microwave. Because in 5 minutes or less you’ll be enjoying a savory, delicious mix of bacon, butter and premium popcorn that’s designed for maximum eatability and anytime snacking. How’s that for convenience?

Some offices actually ask employees not to heat up popcorn in the company microwave because of it’s enticing and alluring smell. Now multiply that by the power of bacon and you’ll be driving everyone up the wall with BaconPOP. Enjoy eating your BaconPOP as you watch your co-workers be resuscitated from choking on their own.

TAKE THE FUCKING BUS.

But--*those* sort of people ride the bus! You know ... *those* people. Who aren't *our* people. You don't want Precious Princess to be known as a bus-riding type of person, do you?

(heard too many local comments about why people don't want to ride the bus, which is why our public transit sucks)

I worked in a place like that. At my first CA job I had to ask the guys near me not to pop popcorn because his slightly burnt organic popcorn gave me a migraine.

I bet the bacon popcorn stuff is teh nast.

Honey smacks:

Last time I rode the bus, the people smelt really bad. The busses in my neighbourhood are perfectly fine. Downtown LA...Imma cab it.

My family gave me a "Bad Cat" desk calendar for X-mas. Today's "Bad Cat" has a picture of an unhappy cat with the caption, "The more you look at me, the bigger my migraine gets."

ita, I'll send it to you if you want, but I don't know if you're the kind of person who identifies with captioned pictures of cats....

The bacon department at Think Geek is fully stocked with bacon popcorn. I'm tempted to try the Baconnaise. Or the Canned Tactical Bacon.
