Guess who, at 12:11am

Arin, at 11:41pm tonight.  Who’s jealous?

Wow, we haven’t even had our first baby yet and I already feel inadequate as a parent.  This collection of baby pictures is just brilliant.

Last month my Dad turned me on to Cremo Cream, the “astonishingly superior shave cream”.

I’ve been using it for a month now and it’s pretty fantastic.  Definitely worth checking out next time you’re ready to refill.  They are a small company too, so you should feel good supporting them. Oh, and Kennyb, according to their FAQ, you can use it with a bowl & brush, although you don’t have to.

Also, saw a youtube video this weekend about how to rejuvenate your expensive disposable razor blades.  Evidently the blades don’t dull so much as bend slightly, which is what causes the shaving quality to decline.  By reshaping them you can get many more weeks or even months of usage out of them.  I haven’t confirmed or disconfirmed yet, but going to try it.

…is my favorite word of the week.  It’s the opposite of euphemism, which means substituting a nice, pleasant phrase to refer to something dirty or inappropriate.

A dysphemism is an intentionally nasty word substituted in place of something otherwise nice and pleasant.  Love it!

It’s official: Our entry in the Great Hot Dog Cook-Off is a TurDogEn - chicken stuffed inside hot dog stuffed inside turkey.  We’ve been experimenting with recipes all week and the results so far are delicious!

Earlier tonight I posted a picture of my leftover parts of a hot dog.  It just occurred to me that that could accurately be called “a byproduct of a byproduct”.

Eww.

Judge John Gleeson, thankfully denying Coca Cola’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit about deceptive marketing of Vitaminwater as a health drink.

Our Hot Dog recipe is still a secret, but as a hint, this is one of the byproducts. Eww.

Arin & I are experimenting with recipes for the Great Hot Dog Cookoff. Judging by the equipment we need, it’s gonna be an awesome dog.

Pregnant. Pooch. Prospect Park.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is hosting an outdoor screening of The Big Lebowski tonight (July 22) at sunset.  

Mark it eight Dude!
