Waffles
Woo hoo! It’s the day before February. Normally this is isn’t something that would get me excited, but with the onset of a new month it means I can change how I title my blog posts. I’ve been kicking around some ideas (lines from songs, quotes from movies, reality TV references, etc.), but I keep coming back to the logical (however boring) idea of titling the posts with something that’s actually relevant to the content. OK, maybe “boring” isn’t the right word to use.
It never occurred to me, until recently, that titling my blog posts after foods I like (and can COOK, by the way) might be a bit misleading. I’m sure some people see “Stuffed Pasta Shells” and think I’m handing out a recipe. I think this was one of those ideas born out of hunger and the desperation to be different. It’s different, but it makes no sense. In any case, it was fun while it lasted. But as stated earlier, it’s a new month which means a new theme! I thought it would be cool to have the titles in Hebrew or Japanese (that would be +10 Awesome), but I don’t know how to convert my keyboard. These past few days (with the help of Carl) I have waged many a battle on HTML or XML or whatever the hell Blogger uses and I’m just not ready for another fight. So yeah, that idea is out. And like the food thing, it would make even less sense. I’ll come up with something, though.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I just watched the latest episode of “Nip/Tuck” and…. ewww. Usually, I can take what they dish out, but this particular episode just disturbed me. For instance, I can handle finding out a patient spreads peanutbutter on her V-Jay-Jay (God I hate “The View”) so her dog can pleasure her. I can also handle Rosie O’ Donnell (I like Dawn Budge).
But I cannot handle cannibalism.
I won’t even talk about Sean’s jealous talent agent who killed a rival by force feeding him teddy bear stuffing. Don’t ask.
Anyway, as the story went, this couple was trapped in the mountains… or was it snow? Whatever. They were trapped in the mountains for 10 days with nothing to eat or drink. Long story short: the wife started getting ill (she’s hypoglycemic) so the husband carved out bits of flesh from his leg, heated them with a lighter and fed them to his wife. WOW.
I was reminded of that movie “Alive”. Wasn’t that based on a true story? And didn’t they eat someone? If I remember correctly, the person they ate was already dead, right?
Well, all this got me to thinking: Could I do it? Would I actually eat human flesh if it meant I wouldn’t become a popsicle? The jury’s out. But I can say this: eating chicken during this episode was a bad idea, suddenly it began to taste… weird.
Could you do it?

Use song titles! You can’t go wrong… no matter what your post is about there will be a title out there somewhere to match :)))
I don’t think I could eat human flesh. EWWW!
Good luck with your blog titles!
I know I couldn’t eat human flesh. Gags me just thinking about it.
Dawn- I think you’re right! There really is a song for everything!!!
fwidman- Yeah, I’m thinking I might have to pass on trying it myself. And thanks for wishing me luck… let’s just hope the titles don’t wind up too lame!
sassy- Yeah Sassy, I think I’d have to just die. I mean I wanna live as much as the next guy, but I really thought about it… and I’ll have to say “no” as well.
Why don’t you use dead rock star names for your blog titles? I’m not sure why, it just sounded cool…
I would eat my own foot before I ate someone else… who knows where that person has been?! Yuck!!!
OMG! Your thing of the day had me ROTFL!!!! LOL!!!
I would probably eat human flesh. I hear it tastes like chicken.
About the peanut butter thing: I had a chick that really like me approach me. Well, she approached me often. Her final straw to try and get me: Hey Mike! Can I borrow your dog and a jar of peanut butter?
I told her no. I didn’t want my dog to lick my face with that tongue ever again.
Moral of the story, we’re still not dating.
Gahh! Well, I suppose there are a lot of things I could do if it meant life or death. Seriously thought, aaaack!
I like that you titled this post “waffles” considering that you’re sorta waffling on your decision to change your title theme.
Random Chick- Hahaha… IF I were gonna eat myself, I’d at least start with the thighs… nice and meaty!
And, OMG, I love that clip. The guys at College Humor are pretty funny. That have some good stuff.
Mike- LOL… eww. I don’t know if I’m impressed or grossed out. And that girl was a keeper! And is having your dog pleasure you pet abuse?
Outofthepinksky- Hello and welcome! Yeah. Human flesh or death… that’s quite the choice.
Also, I’m glad you think I’m deep! I only named the post “Waffles” because I ran out of names and I was craving some. I like waffles.
