Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

Just tried the Four Roses Small Batch. I'll definitely keep it on hand as a special occasion pour. The Buffalo Trace has replaced the Maker's Mark as my favorite "daily" drinker American whiskey. Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Hey, no prob. Definitely agree about Buffalo Trace being a daily drinker.

Here's some random turmeric stuff, from WebMD.

TURMERIC

Turmeric is a plant. You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine.

Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders.

It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer’s disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems.

Some people apply turmeric to the skin for pain, ringworm, bruising, leech bites, eye infections, inflammatory skin conditions, soreness inside of the mouth and infected wounds.

Wonder which one George uses it for.

[BobGrau]

Try rubbing turmeric on stuff.

Preferably at a crossroads, at midnight.

Well son, if the two toads love each other very much...

Totally ringworm.

[zeebo]

Totally ringworm.

Yeah, and leech bites.  Can't believe I've just been letting those go untreated.

[ItsOver]

It's got to be for soreness inside the mouth.  Lingering pizza roll trauma.

Are you sure the mouth soreness is just from pizza roll trauma?

"Her sister was skeptical and suspected that we were exaggerating. She took them to work, since there was still 99% of a 5 pound bag left. She works for a construction company, where there are builders, roofers, house painters, landscapers, etc. Lots of people who generally have limited access to toilets on a given day. I can't imagine where all of those poor men (and women) pooped that day. I keep envisioning men on roofs, crossing their legs and trying to decide if they can make it down the ladder, or if they should just jump."

Classic.    I can just see sending a pound to Jorch, with Jorch wondering during a show why Tommy keeps disappearing to the men's room.

I think the one on the private jet is the one that could be woven into a sitcom...it's pathos and hysteria rolled into one.

Watching Parks & Rec (Love it because I used to work at a parks & rec department), and Leslie tried to straighten a crooked photo on the wall.  It promptly falls and breaks into pieces after she touches it.

I relate.

40 mph winds here today, kids!

I just went outside and ran around in it with my dog.

That's the cool thing about dogs. You can go outside and run around in the wind, throwing sticks around and laughing like a lunatic, and it looks perfectly normal. Healthy even!

Laughed so hard I almost choked on an orange. That page needs a "do not eat or drink while reading" warning. I love Amazon reviewers.

"I felt violated when it was over, which I think might have been sometime in the early morning of the next day. There was stuff coming out of me that I ate at my wedding in 2005."

**dying**

"multi-colored death bears"

**rolls on floor**

[jazmunda]

Sounds like a good weight loss supplement.

The description of the aftermath of eating these "multiple-colored death bears" is just a more colorful description of MV's ass fountain.

There is also "How to Avoid Huge Ships" for funny reviews

"When on my jet ski in the Chesapeake bay this summer I was confronted by a huge ship moving up the channel. You can imagine my horror when I realized I had only 1 hour and 45 minutes or so before the lumbering behemoth was sure to pass through my area"

American Flag Aviator Glasses

"These glasses are great! I can spot commies and terrorists with ease when I wear them to my local Walmart. Very dark tint, to keep those pinko UV rays from damaging my retina. A must have if you own an eagle, drive a Hummer, or possess a black leather jacket. "

"What better way to stare down evildoers than with these bad boys? Al Qaeda will take one look at you and poop their collective pants. Then hot dogs and apple pie will rain from the sky, all cars will become muscle cars and the rivers will run deep with beer. Believe that!"

And any T-Shirt made by Mountain has good reviews too.

OK, I know I'm gonna sound stupid and probably not for the first time here, but . . . is this a real book?!

[Mind Flayer Monk]

No, its just a joke. They did get over 1000 reviews though. Some of the 1-star reviews are really funny too. It is just a parody of how bad Amazon reviews are (and how the same type of reviews show up over and over again). For example, people posting reviews of something they have never read, since no one has read this fictional book.

"Stumbled across this while looking for books on how to attract huge ships. This book is awful and vaguely racist."

"I make a living by hitting things with my Huge Ship. This book is absolutely DESTROYING my business! Please do not buy this!"

"As a huge ship myself, I'm appalled at the apparent complicity that people are demonstrating with the racist ideals of this book. Had Captain Trimmer ever taken the time to get to know a huge ship, instead of simply running the other direction, he might have found that many huge ships are gentle, docile giants. Instead, he has chosen to alienate the huge ship community, because of his fear and lack of understanding."

"In sharp contrast to other highly inspirational offerings in the huge-ship self-help genre, the author takes a regrettably narrow and simplistic view. He focuses entirely on how to avoid huge ships, without once considering the potential advantages of encountering one and what might be learned from such an encounter."

"This overly simplistic avoidance strategy is outdated advice which has since been revised by top experts in the huge-ship field. I would recommend that perspicacious readers avoid this obsolete book and instead sample cutting-edge forward-looking offerings such as "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Huge Ships," "Huge Ships for the Soul" "All I Really Need to Know I Learned on a Huge Ship," "How to Win Friends and Influence Huge Ships," "Feeling Good: The New Huge Ship Therapy," and my favorite, "How to Awaken the Huge Ship Within."

I just finished listening to Art and I walked outside to take out the trash.
Off in the distance I saw something floating, with one light flashing, like a plane, but this thing was not moving.
It had red lights that would start to the west of it, and then move east.
The light color would alternate from red to green after the lights moved fully to the east side of the object.

I went inside and grabbed my binoculars and stared at it. It was the Goodyear Blimp, 20 miles in the distance.

Obviously a cloaked alien craft. 'They' want you to think it's a Goodyear blimp. Oh but you can laugh, next week it will deposit chemtrails and your own lying eyes will convince your government shiled chipped brain it's 'only' a Goodyear blimp.. Won't someone think of the helium?

Yeah the old blimp camouflage routine is as obvious as that bird outside my window that's really a surveillance drone.
