More signs of the apocalypse

(Cocoa Crisp was always a disappointment. I kept expecting Chocolately Goodness but getting sweet rice that make the milk brown. On the other hand, Captain Crunch out of the box is a great snack food for lousy days.)

Froot Loops is my "right out of the box" snack. But have you ever noticed that no matter what color loop you get, thay all taste the same?

That was also true with the marshmallow charms in Lucky Charms cereal. Although the Pink Hearts did seem to taste better, only because they were pink.
Those charms remain one of the two kinds of marshmallows that doesn't make me sick. The other kind is the campfire-toasted marshmallow, charred on the outside and gooey on the inside.

Marshmallows are just a disgusting form of sugar, right? So how do they Sugar-Free Instant Cocoa with Marshmallows?

I read somewhere that visual perceptions of food actually does influence how it tastes. Which means, I suppose, that only blind folks know what food really tastes like.

The power of prayer?

Here's a scary thought: Suppose it turns out that God performs one miracle every century, entirely at random, based on a silent prayer. And that one day about fifteen years ago a woman who loved marshmallows sighed and said, "If only there could be sugar-free marshmallows in an instant cocoa mix."

I think most prayers look a lot like:

"I wish the stupid fuck would just shut the fuck up."

Recent signs:

Hurricane Ivan has re-formed in the Gulf of Mexico.

Swarms of locusts are destroying crops in Africa.

Shoulder pads for women are threatening a comeback.

And ponchos. Ponchos, people! Did anybody actually miss ponchos? Is there a single item of clothing, other than ponchos, that's guaranteed to look equally awful on every women who wears one? WTF?

He plans to blow straight and try to learn a Tradewind.

You know Hollywood these days... everybody wants a sequel.

Although, I'm fairly certain we can attend that Ivan 2: The Reckoning will have a bigger budget, crappier winds, a horrible eye, and the end will just putter out so badly, you'll wonder why you ever noticed it in the first place.

One thing worse than ponchos? I believe that would be shoulder pads...

I did hear the goth look was coming back, but then, I heard that at the beginning of the summer, and I don't know if that means it's still on a comeback, or it's already came back, and has now faded out again. Fashion is so hard these days. I can't keep up anymore.

I think the end of the world depends on who gets to do it... God or Satan. Cause, if it's Satan's work, he'll turn shit around before he gives you the end of the world. He'll make you think there's light at the end of the tunnel. Like, things'll work out in Iraq, and El Nino will come and give us all free ice cream, and cute alien puppies from outer space will exchange cancer and time travel for belly scratches.
Then... BAM! Lake of fire, pit of torture, and nothing but tofu dogs as far as the eye can see.

If God ended the world???
Well, I'm sure he'd just lay back and let us destroy ourselves. We seem to be doing a pretty good job of it anyway.

Southeast Florida's 4th official hurricane watch was posted this morning. That's 4 in 5 weeks.

Is God playing pinball over here, or what?

When they do, don't light a match!

America will be conquered by fungus

1,000-year-old, 86-acre fungus found - Salon.com

Sept. 26, 2004 | BIRMENSDORF, Switzerland (AP) -- Swiss scientists have discovered what they believe is Europe's biggest fungus, stretching wide under an Alpine forest.

The Honey Mushroom, also known by its Latin species name Armillaria ostoyae, was found lurking in the Engadine national park in the eastern Swiss Alps, said the Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research. Spanning 35 hectares (86 acres), the fungus it believed to be 1,000 years old, the institute added.

The underground fungus is only visible in the fall, when its mushrooms break through the earth and grow around the roots of trees, the institute said.

Although harmless to humans, its mushrooms are edible, the parasitic fungus can colonize trees, killing off swaths of pine forest.

In terms of size, the Swiss fungus is beaten hands down by another Honey Mushroom growing in the United States.

Found in the Malheur National Forest, in eastern Oregon, that fungus covers 890 hectares (2,200 acres), making it the largest living organism ever discovered.

Allah's beard!

Pear, my darling, there you go again. Marvel following marvel; how do you ever do it?

I salute you.

Cant, mi amor, since I stopped reading political, crime and disaster news I've discovered so much more things of interest in the universe.

Didn't that fungus star in an X-Files episode?

"Lightbulbs Unlimited" did not have the lightbulb I needed.

A rather disturbing PEZ dispenser appeared in my fenced back yard. Looks like a snarling Mickey Mouse. With goggles, possibly ski goggles, worn pushed back from his forehead.

No one I know eats PEZ.

Actually, I think a store selling nothing but lightbulbs is disturbing enough.

Creepy.

As for Mickey? That's easy. I saw an Animal Planet special last week about squirrels and all those little bastards wanna do when it gets cold is eat Pez.

Who knew?

Could someone actually paint that on a sign with a straight face?

Met a guy on a white horse today. Told me to just call him D. He looked...resilient if not capable. Horse was breathing fire, eyes of ice. His sword was glowing...reflections of lives past.

So was he War, Famine, Pestilence, or Nervousness?
