Notes

- Today I was challenged to eat my entire weight in onion rings. That's 155 pounds of fried onions. Have you ever stopped to think about how much a certain amount or volume truly is? That is a buttload of onion rings. I don't think I could do it.

- I just said "buttload". Wow. Haven't used that one since third grade. Remember elementary school insults? Some of them were really terrible! "Buttmunch" and "turdburgler" specifically come to mind. Did we even know what we were saying!? Obviously not!

- Does anyone know anything about the country of Iceland? That one's always kind of been a mystery to me. Hmm. 313 Googled it, but it's still intriguing to me. Perhaps I will go there for spring break and see for myself. I'd like to learn to speak Icelandic.

- I will consummate this post with lyrics:




Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
- MacArthur Park, Donna Summer

I'm planning on going to Iceland this summer, so I'll let you know.

By the way, thanks for ordering the Onion Rings shirt. I've got a light blue Hero Workshop shirt with your name on it if you're interested. It's a medium and it hasn't actually got your name on it, but it's yours if you want it.

Two things:

1. I debated for the longest time over whether or not to buy it. I initially thought I'd feel silly and arrogant wearing my own blog's shirt, but it's cute and I figured since it says "You wouldn't understand" that people wouldn't ask. Hopefully once I get my tax money back I can get the 3Ms one, along with basically everything else.

2. Do you speak of a FREE t-shirt, or am I just being overzealous?

Matt said...

Free. I'll get it to you when I can.

Durring the cold war Iceland was prehaps NATO's most important piece of property.

Anything you really need to know about Iceland you can learn from D2: The Mighty Ducks.

Oh yeah, Iceland is evil.
