Random Englishness
Posted by Jules - June 24, 2008 at 08:06:38 amMike and I flew into Oakland Airport around 9:30 at night. And in slightly more than 24 hours (24 hours and 5 minutes, to be exact), we will be flying out to portland. We are the poor man’s version of jet setters.
A joke the bus guide told us at the San Diego zoo:
Question: What do you get when you cross and elephant with a jaguar (or maybe he said some other cat)?
Punchline: A sports car with a very large trunk.
So I’ve been reading this comic that roughly translates to “The Honorable Knight Child”. Or “The Chivalrous Great Child” to some people, namely yesasia. Some of my shrink wrapped copies included wrap around slips of paper that say “WARNING: This articles contains material which may offend and may not be distributed, circulated, sold, hired, given, lent, shown, played, or projected to a person under the age of 18 years.” I think they really want to cover their bases. Anyhoo, I quite enjoy this semi historical comic- even my mom enjoyed it- she blazed through the first five volumes the last time she visited me.
A few months ago, I bought a pair of Snow Peak compact chopsticks that I could bring with me to school for lunches. They are made from recycled baseball bats. Mmmm.. sweatastic. Highlights from the instructions on back:
“We now use old baseball bats as material for our chopsticks. Imagine it, right now you could be eating off a bat that busted on a high and inside fastball; doesn’t that sound appetizing?”
The final step on reassembling the chopsticks to full size: “Now you are ready. Remember to slurp loud and never ever leave your chopsticks sticking straight up in the rice. Big party foul!”
Awesome.
