Sic gorgiamus allos subiectatos nunc

Why does the Compare People app on Facebook consistently say I rate high on the “best to be stuck in handcuffs with” category but low on “best mannered”? This thing is giving me a complex…

We’re trying to be more fiscally conscious, so we are going to try to pack lunches more often. This site (ilunchbox.com) might be a great resource, although it’s intended for kids..

Blind Taste Test Results- 8/1/08

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 12:20:00 -0500

The most recent blind taste test results are in. In case I haven’t explained this before, I insist that I can tell the difference between many (not all) brand name foodstuffs. Ransom, spendthrift that he is, disagrees and wants to test my assertion.

Last night, Honey Nut Cheerios vs. Hy-Vee Honey Tastee-O’s [sic]. Result: I won! There is definitely a difference, but the generics tasted like Alpha-Bits, so I might be OK getting those.

So far, I’ve been right on Captain Morgan vs. Admiral Nelson flavored rums (tested months ago, I swear!), Cap’n Crunch vs. generic “equivalent”, any real soda vs. RC Cola, Apple Jacks (anticipated win— the bagged ones are awful), and another one I can’t think of. I was unable to tell the difference between brand name and generic Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes.
