From the “Ideas Not Ready For Prime Time” Department, we have the latest in food-on-the-go:  Breakfast Slurry!  Take your favorite breakfast cereal, throw it in the blender with some milk, and blend it to a thick milkshake consistency.  Sound delicious?  It’s terrible.  This isn’t just a good idea with a bad name - no amount of clever marketing can make it unsuckful, so don’t even think of trying this at home.  That is all.

The Seattle area has been hit with another legendary snowstorm, and it left Bellevue battered and bruised.  With record-low temperatures near freezing, Bellevue received a heavy snowfall that dumped nearly 0.1 feet of soft, fluffy, slippery white stuff throughout the area.  Some people are abandoning their cars, others are stopping to put chains on the front wheels of their BMWs and Mercedes.  The rest didn’t even get out of bed yet.  Double-length buses and tractor-trailers (lorries) are jackknifing and blocking onramps and hills.  Milk, beer and toilet paper are sold out throughout the area and it’s all descending into utter chaos.  The Governor has declared a state of emergency and is recommending that we all skip work and head immediately for the nearest ski slope.

Non-natives are wondering what all the fuss is about.

 I found this hilarious essay by Jim Walker on another site and just had to share it.  Here’s an excerpt.

Why do you suppose that baby animals look so much cuter than human babies? Puppies, kittens, ducklings, and almost any young mammal or bird you can think of, have an irresistible charm to them. Their furry (or feathery) little bodies, large eyes (in proportion to their bodies), makes one just want to pet them and take care of them. People feel good around baby animals. But when it comes to human babies, just the opposite reaction occurs. I find nothing appealing about a newly born human baby. Of course this comes from my male biased perspective and surely mothers have some sort of in-born instinct to love their own spawn (which explains the jokes about ugly children that only a mother could love). But honestly, just look at them. They have bulbous heads, beady little eyes, chubby little bodies, bald heads, bad teeth, and their arms and legs look like something a deformed dwarf would have. Ugly, unappealing, scary even. And they have no morals. If you took an old helpless bald man with no teeth and scaled him quarter size, you’d basically have a baby.
