food critic, fancy minimalist plate

After an unintended break in this series, here’s another entry in our food critic category.  If you’re new here, it’s easy to play.  I’ll post a picture of food and you be the food critic.  You can discuss what works with the dish or what doesn’t work well, and you can make suggestions about what should be done to make this dish better.  Simple enough, huh?

FYI, I don’t know what this is, exactly, so just use your best guess.  And have fun with it.  (If you haven’t noticed, randomness is the usual order around here.)

funny pictures, episode 6

Over the years, I’ve collected a number of funny pictures, and this series is where I share them with the world.   If you have any comments on any of them, you’re welcome to add it.

"I've got skills... I've got game..."
Uhh...
I probably shouldn't comment on this...
"Hey, Bubba, watch this!"
Donuts and bacon... that is something I can support!
"When I was your age, we used to have to pull cars to school with our faces, while being mocked and ridiculed, uphill both ways."

research shows pickles will kill you

We’ve discussed here before the fact that pickles are evil.  We’ve even offered proof, yet some of you stubbornly resist the facts.  Well, here’s further evidence, which I stumbled across recently.

An important scientific study was conducted around 1875, when pickles were starting to gain more acceptance in mainstream society.  Certain intellectual people knew this must be the work of the devil, trying to turn people into evil zombies.  So these smart important scientists conducted some research into the long-term effects of pickles.  There were 5011 people who ate pickles and had their life observed, to see what kind of effects the pickles had.  Much to everyone’s chagrin, all these people DIED!

So there you have it — conclusive proof that IF YOU EAT PICKLES, YOU WILL DIE! That’s just not something you want to mess around with!

Feel free to argue if you must, but facts are facts…

caption contest, martial arts fighting

This week we’ve got an exciting caption contest planned.  It’s an action-packed scene, full of fighting.   I don’t know if this is some kind of martial arts training exercise or an actual fight, but it looks like one guy is throwin’ the smack down!

As always, you get to write a funny caption for this picture, and it can be from any perspective: the fighters (any of them), an onlooker, an analyst, or whatever.  Or you can make a joke or pun about it.  Or you can write a backstory to give it context.  Or you can fit it into current world events.   Be creative.  Just make it funny and keep it clean.
