Campin’

Rhett and Link rough it in the great outdoors.
I fear that as Americans we no longer get the gist of exactly
what “roughing it” really means.
I have a friend who thinks it means “no convenience stores
within a ten minute walk”.
If you have to have Pringles at 1:00 in the morning you may
have an issue.
“Alexa, Have a case of Pringles sent to me…” is NOT far off…


Don’t Shake that Baby

Nate Bargatze has implicit instructions not to make thick,
creamy milkshakes for his newborn.
Something about their skulls not being totally formed yet,
and if they ever get an ice cream headache it could kill them.
I would imagine that would rule out sundaes, frappes, banana
splits, double scoops in a sugar cone, and soft serve as well.
How about freeze pops?
Anybody out there hear of any Death by Freeze Pop episodes?
That would be cool…


Street Meat (You Keep Taunting Me)

I was walking on Main Street this afternoon when I smelled the
local restaurant grilling outdoors for a catered event in the
town square.
I have been a vegetarian for many years but there are certain
odors that bring back memories of pleasantly tasty proteins
that used to be an animal, and the smells emanating from the
sidewalk woke up a few of them.
This tune by Mike Phirman is a reflection of that flashback.
Jaunty, with a nice beat…
