school lunch logic

if pizza counts as a vegetable serving, a bloody mary definitely counts.
*and shame on you, congress, for caving in to the frozen rectangular pizza lobby. SHAME ON YOU!

*epilogue on that last one

thanks, thanksgiving eve moustache riders. that was indeed hilarious.

men of stl, WTF?!!!!

some simple rules you're supposed to know by now:

a couple minutes of banter at a bar does not mean you can follow me into the girl's room for a quickie.

you may not rest your crotch on knees or any other body part as you make your introduction.

on a first date do not just leer and adjust your boner several times a minute.

 smothering a girl's face with spirit gum and smushing on fake stache with your meaty hands, while hilarious, is not a smooth move

funemployment eats

at our recent visit to the market we dared ourselves to make the most of a "recession meat": smoked neckbones. made a friggin awesome soup!
so here's another recipe to try out:

now remember, "if your supermarket doesn't carry fresh pork neckbones, it means that the po' folks don't shop there. change supermarkets or move to a better neighborhood."

binging: a period of excessive or uncontrolled indulgence

STL has a lot of awesome food inventions, the best of which is "gooey butter cake".
GOOEY
BUTTER
CAKE!
just say it out loud. let it simmer.
at a halloween party i spotted a platter of pumpkin gooey butter cake and promptly stole away with it to a dark corner where no one could see me inhale the whole damn thing.
