Things that made me laugh today March 6, 2008
In no particular order….
Kevin and Bean trying to remember Sarah Jessica Parker’s name and someone from the show said “You know, the one that looks like a shoe.”
This clip art that was part of the flyer from Nash’s school to help sell raffle tickets. The classroom that sells the most tickets wins a free pizza party. And apparently the pizza will first make you happy, then take you to a dark place that will make you angry. And then the back of your neck will explode.
A friend sent this pic of some college pals in Fargo during the awesome 80’s. It was taken at The Pearl. A Chinese restaurant with a buffet that featured iceberg lettuce and hush puppies. You wear your fancy sweater for them kind of eats!
Next, during a trip to the company mail room, I spotted this magazine:
Fat? Tired? Why not boost your energy with these delicious bubblegum cupcakes! Being a fan of the bubblegum flavor (Lip Smackers BEST flavor ever!) I checked out the recipe for said cupcakes. It was on a page with the headline “6-Ingredient* Recipes”. Want to guess at what the 6 ingredient for Bubblegum cupcakes would be?
- Yellow cake mix. Check.
- Water. Check.
- Eggs. Check.
- Oil. Check.
- 1/4 tsp bubble gum extract. WTF?? I just looked for this online to confirm such a thing even existed. It does, but you can only get it from this guy who lives in a hut up in Canada and he only makes one bottle a year. (I’m kidding, mom)
- 1 container strawberry frosting. OK, I can maybe find this at that other grocery store….
I guess the gum balls don’t count as an ingredient, even though they really don’t work without them.If you’re an observant reader, you noticed that the headline included an asterisk. What do you think the asterisk referred to? The impossibility of finding bubble gum extract? The fact that there are more than 6 ingredients? Nope, * plus salt and pepper. Hopefully that’s referring to one of the other recipes……
[...] used to find your blog. The most popular search term is still “bubble gum extract” from this recent post. It comes up almost daily. It makes sense and I’m fine with that. I totally don’t mind [...]
