Deth Muncher's Destructive and Meandering Random Banter #141

[PJ the Epic]

I know I'm not often in the random banter but...

How the hell do you eat a Klondike Bar without it becoming a mess? Every time it becomes more difficult to eat it from one end without it collapsing, and eating around the edges just makes it explode later on.

And then you get to the end and half of the coating has splintered to pieces.

Freeze it in liquid nitrogen and eat it on a stick. Simple enough. I thought that's how everyone ate 'em.


Mostly, I try to one or two bite them and let the chunks slowly melt in my mouth.

You just made me wish I bought Dippin Dotz instead


You can really taste the liquid N2

Makin cookies and listening to Barenaked Ladies' new album (sans Steven Page). Life is pretty freaking awesome.

Wait wait wait, I missed that?!?!?!

I've been a bad Rissy, sorely neglecting my beloved BNL. Must rectify this immediately!

It's called "All In Good Time". I can't decide how I feel about it yet. I love about a third of the songs (notes new lyrics in the sig, thanks to "summertime"), but I'm just not a fan of Kevin Hearn's voice, and his songs feel predictable to me. I love Ed Robertson, though. LOVE. All and all, it's a much more serious album than any of their earlier disography, but that's been the trend in the last ten years ("Barenaked Ladies are Me" and "Barenaked Ladies are Men" in particular had some serious pieces, but still a lot of humor). And they've still got their trademark fun pieces, and sarcasm, and bizarre theoretical situations.

Basically, I feel like they haven't quite found their stride yet, without Steven Page, but I like the feel of their music.

I have Gordon, Maybe You Should Drive, Rock Spectacle, part of Stunt (I don't know what happened to the rest, but I can't find the disc), Maroon, Greatest Hits '91-'01, Everything to Everyone, BLAMen, Snacktime (their kids' album), and All In Good Time. I really need to purchase the rest of their discography.

I'm addicted to watching this video.

Anyone have webcomic suggestions? Or something to watch on hulu? I think I've run out of entertainment.

I believe my read list has all been mentioned already, but here it is just in case one was missed and to add a vote to the ones already mentioned.

Goblins
ErfWorld
Least I Could Do
Looking For Group
Basic Instructions
The Dreamland Chronicles
Phoenix Requiem
xkcd

Also, if you like Phoenix Requiem, Sarah Ellerton's first work, Inverloch, is complete and available to read at your leisure and is very good also.

[Partof1]

Man, you guys got to another one of these? You peoplke wear out these threads faster than, um, greased lightning tied to a speeding bullet on rocket skates on ice. Going downhill.

Did your say....
GREASE LIGHTNING?

[Partof1]

Aye, that I did. And that is about the only musical film I like.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Happy First of May everybody!

'cause it's the First of May, First of May...

We had a singalong at my friend's party to that song.

I may or may not still be inebriated...

[Dogmantra]

My IT teacher declared it as among the greatest songs ever written and while I am not sure that I agree, I do have IT today so...

PLAN!

Kudos to you if you can actually reenact the song.

Done and done!

Wait. No. Didn't sing. No singing before noon and/or caffeination.

I may have this on my ipod. My brother has one of those things you can plug in and it plays your song over the nearest radio. I played it in the students union, the bar staff looked fairly confused when they couldn't make it stop.

I also love your avatar.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

I much prefer this song on YouTube.

How long does the average boiler approximately take to heat up water after it's been turned on?

[Dr. Bath]

I guess an hour? Probably about that.

The Guild scares me. It is scary to me.

Mine's 40 minutes.

Do you fear The Guild because you are worried that Felicia Day might summon a giant Niel Patrick Harris to crush you with a science-boot?

[Dr. Bath]

Could well be. My suit is just not up to scratch. I'm sorry Neil. Also the fact it reminds me such people almost certainly exist brings my tiny world crashing down.

How did you know about that dream?! I never told anyone!

Seriously, though, it's just weird. I watched the first episode, and when a guy from her guild turns up at the front door, I started feeling uncomfortable.
Seriously, he knows where her BATHROOM is.
Also, I may need to get a new suit this week. I have a formal dance on the 8th, and my old one has a few... issues >,>

I have two suits. One cost £150 from a shop that specialised in them which my mum bought because she insisted I had to have a good one, was bought with the end of 6th Form ball in immediate mind. In less than 3 years the stitching on the jacket has completely fallen apart twice.

The other cost £1 from the Salvation army, which I bought because I had a job interview at Greggs and needed a smart jacket. It might as well be made of adamantium, it was 30 years old when I bought it and I think it may well outlast the Earth, still in perfect condition.

Finishing a full clean of a 1-bed flat shouldn't feel like an achievement. I hope I can get back to work next week, I'm so bored.

Tell you what should feel like an achievement: doing an entire ICT project over the course of one weekend that is designed to last a good few weeks and doing it well.

However, I cannot feel that yet because I have zero motivation.

Also I may get a T-Shirt printed that says "You are now aware of every breath you take. Have a nice day!"

And then hypnotize you as the MUSIC MEISTEEEEEERR!!!

If this were Facebook, I would "like" this.

Music Meister. Good times, fun songs, like much.

Apparently my family just can't be trusted on their own.

In the month since I saw them last my mum and step-dad have given up work, my sister has turned into a massive skunk addict (technically this was already happening but she hid it well) and has been permanently kicked out of my mum's house, my mum and dad are back to the way they were when they first divorced, my granddad (who I thought was at least feeling better) could die any second and most shocking of all my brother is selling his life partner x-box.

Seriously, how does this all happen in a month. A warning to the playground, don't forget to call your family, they might have sprouted wings or been turned into chocolate or something.
