1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
Growing up in Trumansburg, we had a well. We also had a lot of black walnut trees in the backyard. Black walnuts are full of sulfur. Thus, our water was full of sulfur. In Ithaca, the water is chlorinated.
Thus, if I’m at my parents house, bottled. If I’m at home, purified. Then again, I’m not really the water drinking type.
2. What are your favourite flavor of chips?
Sour Cream & Onion. Be it Lays or Pringles. French Onion Sun Chips follow close behind.
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
One time, when cooking supplies were minimal, I made a really simple pasta dish out of one of my cookbooks, and it was extremely good. Most of my pasta dishes turn out pretty well.
4. How do you have your eggs?
Time for one of those crazy Dan facts. There are a few foods I just don’t eat. Mushrooms, for example – don’t like the taste, can’t stand the texture. The one that gets me the most strange looks are eggs.
This isn’t to say I won’t eat eggs at all – the correct answer to this question would be “on a breakfast sandwich”, since no one can resist the mind-blowing goodness of a McDonald’s Bacon/Egg/Cheese biscuit – but I just cannot eat eggs with nothing else involved..
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
Katie and I made French Onion Soup the other day, with the whole french bread/melty cheese thing going. Wasn’t bad, although Campbell’s canned soup leaves a lot to be desired in this instance.

Vonnegut At The Twain House

In These Times | Strange Weather Lately
Transcript of a speech from Kurt Vonnegut at the Mark Twain house; excellent stuff as always.

What are the conservatives doing with all the money and power that used to belong to all of us? They are telling us to be absolutely terrified, and to run around in circles like chickens with their heads cut off. But they will save us. They are making us take off our shoes at airports. Can anybody here think of a more hilarious practical joke than that one?
Smile, America. You’re on Candid Camera.
And they have turned loose a myriad of our high-tech weapons, each one costing more than a hundred high schools, on a Third World country, in order to shock and awe human beings like us, like Adam and Eve, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

I Am Oblivious To Rands

Rands in Repose
I can’t believe I’ve been reading Jerkcity for so long and never noticed Rands had a blog.
I love the idea of the HOLY SHIT list and I will attempt to write one of my own in the near future.
