much ado about nothing

Before yesterday’s post (ARRR!) we received a message here via the Contact Us form.  (By the way, anyone can use it, and you can ask any question — see the link for details.)  This message was a little unusual.  I’ll let you see for yourself:

Name: chester
Email: gas@yo-mommashouse.org
Message: yo, mr. blog dude. your blog promised to give me more than my ‘recommended allowance of randomness’ but there hasn’t been an update in almost 3 weeks! whats up with that? that’s like breach of contract and stuff. you better start posting new stuff, or i’m going to get my law degree from one of those online accredited universities and sue! that’s right! I’LL be the one enjoying the free cheesedip each month once this blog starts making money and not you! so help a brother out, and save me the $19.95 i’d have to spend on a law degree and post more stuff! you’ve been warned!

Okay, I know who this is from, and he can suck rocks.  🙂  But I will nonetheless address his concerns since he took the time to write.

1) There has been a lack of content lately, and while I have many valid excuses of various activities competing for my time, it will be suffice to sum up with: I had stuff to do.  🙂

2) There is no free cheese dip each month.  (I wish!)

3) If you’re really desiring more content, here’s a fun thing to try.  In the sidebar there is a link called Random Randomness, which takes you to a random post on this blog.  There are very few readers (if any) who have read every post and all the comments.  Besides, there’s great content that you might’ve forgotten about.

4) For additional enjoyment, click on “Say What” in the categories list, and read through the comments for the caption contests.  The comments are what makes it great, and you’ll probably think of additional captions to add while you’re there.

an odd use for burnt biscuits

One of the loyal readers of the blog told me he had a home-landscaping idea — he is gonna make a sidewalk out of burnt biscuits.  That would be a unique look and texture.  It might make guests feel fat, as their weight crushes the biscuits.  And you might have an issue with birds taking it away.  And I don’t know how it would hold up to heavy rain…  so it might not be the best idea ever, but it was certainly random, so it earned a place here.

On a side note, I’ve always said you can find anything on the Internet, but a cursory search did not find any pictures of a sidewalk made of burned biscuits.  Someone should do something about that… the reputation of the Internet is at stake…  🙂

On a related note, when biscuits got burnt at deer camp, we used to play baseball with them, using a broomstick for a bat.  You can throw a wicked curve with a biscuit!

caption contest, clown vs soldiers

How about another caption contest…   Excited?   Yes, you should be.  Let us get to the picture then.   I think most of you understand how this works by now.   (If not, just write something funny about this photo.)

how to eat a chicken sandwich

Today I was out on the town during the lunch hour, so I stopped by Chick-fil-A to get a chicken sandwich.  (Is there a better chicken sandwich?  That is, getting it without pickles and adding cheese and mayo.)  Anyway, I’ve always eaten it with my hands, because that’s what you do with sandwiches.  But the woman at the drive-thru window put a straw in my bag, even though I didn’t order a beverage.  What was that for?  Did she expect me to use the straw to drink my sandwich?  Silly woman… straws are for beverages!
