Not For The Weak

The following are the 2 best quotes I've read in a long time. Avert your eyes if you have a weak stomach or your spirit is sensitive to cuss words. Mine is like tough rawhide. And to top it off, I'm posting this on a sabbath day. I'm going to be struck down. Which, when you think about it, would be a nice reprieve from life.

Awesomeness #1 (thanks Megan): Bacon Flavored Soda. Read the full story here. This is way too fantastic. My favorite quote--

"Nailing the flavor was tough. We didn't want pot roast, we didn't want pork tenderloin, we wanted bacon. The drink started out tasting more like ham than pork. But eventually we were able to get the crispiness of bacon in there without it being overpowered by porkiness."


Awesomeness #2 (courtesy of awesome Nana): Quote of the Week from LA Times columnist, Burt Prelutsky--

"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine , even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington , we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."


Hopefully these words have made your Sunday complete. I somehow find them warm and fuzzy.
