Fukyu-Obama Maki

Posted in Food & Drink, Politics, Technology on January 26th, 2012

Obama has chosen to “repurpose” NASA as both a means of promulgating the AGW hype and as a Muslim outreach program, all the while cancelling its programs and cutting its budget. Insofar as Obama is concerned, NASA needs to look downward and inward not upward and outward. Space exploration is right out. It’s just too costly.

But if it’s that costly, how can we have this:


Boldly Going Where NASA Can’t Afford To Tread

If a space program is so expensive that the Obama Regime has to curtail NASA’s efforts, how could a small Washington DC metro area restaurant chain, Sticky Rice, with only for restaurants be able to afford to collaborate with RVA TV and Bark Marketing to launch one of their Godzirra rolls into space – and how could they manage to do it in the first place?

OK, for the sake of precision, Sticky Rice didn’t actually put a Godzirra Maki into space. They didn’t breach the Karman Line and only managed to send their sushi into the middle stratosphere.

Sticky Rice should rename their Godzirra roll. They should call it the Fukyu-Obama Maki.

If a small business can, using commercially available equipment and materials send, film, and successfully recover sushi to the edge of space then it’s disgusting to claim and laughable to believe that America needs to curtail space exploration.

Grilled Cheese Burger

Posted in Food & Drink on January 14th, 2012

Right up front I’ve got to say that this pic generated a strong approach-avoidance conflict in me. On one hand, OMFG the fat, the calories, the over-the-topness of this sandwich idea. On the other hand, a hamburger on grilled cheese sandwiches!

Grilled Cheese Burger
Now Just Add Some Bacon :twisted:

Then I realized that there wasn’t that much difference, nutrition-wise, between the grilled cheese burger and a normal cheeseburger. Given normal portioning, the only added calories and fat would be from the butter used to grill the cheese sandwiches.

So…Oh Hell Yeah! Two great American sandwich classics, the grilled cheese sandwich and the hamburger, concatenated into a single meaty, cheesy wonder. And you could even add some bacon to it.

Bacon Rules

Posted in Food & Drink, Humor on October 17th, 2011

As it was fried so shall it be. The rules of bacon must be obeyed.

Bacon Rules

And yes, Ladies; rule 12 is incontrovertible. Properly used bacon will get you laid, especially during the Holidays.

Rule 12: Bacon Will Get You Laid

I’m really not sure exactly when or why bacon grew from being just tasty food into a pervasive meme or trope, but I’m enjoying every delicious, smoky minute of it. :-P
