O, Bagel, Where Art Thou?


Friday, October 7th, 2011

Bagels are a wondrous stuff,
We eat these treats quite fast enough -
But oh, my goodness - the mess we make!
It gives a chap the belly-ache!
We poor lads, 'tis our turn now
To clean as best our hands allow.
Today, enjoy the treats at hand
Bread loaves are fine - but bagels? GRAND!
Say, for what were wheat-yards tilled,
And why is Dunkin' always filled?
Oh, many a peer of Jersey bakes
Better batters than sugar cakes.
A bagel is a morning treat
To get you up and on your feet.
Oh, I have had those bagels fair
Sometimes one, sometimes a pair -
Onion, raisin, cinnamon, seeded
Some with oats or poppy beaded!
We munch them quickly (to be clear)
If we have cream-cheese to smear.
And it's not just cheese we have to cram -
What's a bread without the Jam?
Jams and Jellies of berry and grape
Made from fruits of every shape!
And if those spreads aren't your type,
Place on it a butter-stripe!
Ah, but what I love the most -
Isn't just bagels, but bagel toast!
Pop it in to crisp each part,
It warms the bread; but also heart.
So enjoy these torus treats -
And now my DD friends - Let's Eat!

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time

Spanish for Donut

I'm BACK!  After several weeks of long, long hours at a fun, but unfortunately short term position, I have returned to my roots! Unfortunately, I can't tell you where I was working, not because of the project I was working on - because the position I had (special kind of Production Assistant based around intellectual property security). I CAN tell you that it was in Miami. And I learned some things there.  Something important and breakfast related.  Churros. Those are delicious. It's like a single donut stick - a Mexican donut-saber.  It's an oddly long and amazingly delicious treat. Churros are served hot - the outside is awesomely crispy, covered in a stardust-type sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and the inside is a melty, doughy blend of amazing deliciousness. You should go get one of these right now, for two reasons.  Firstly, because based on their addictive nature, I have to at least guess that somewhere in that cinnamon sugar mix is crystal meth or some other
