At dinner one night, my 12 year old brother decided to be adventurous and order the frog legs for dinner. The waiter arrived to unveil...the entire bottom half of the frog. My brother shouted, "Oh my GOD! They brought it with the BUTT!" And then proceeded to burst into tears because they'd killed a frog. It was hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-46830321917480252862015-10-02T23:15:47.227-04:002015-10-02T23:15:47.227-04:00Wait!?! I'm confused.

It's sold as a flower preservative. You can also find it at places like Wal-Mart for cheaper, like Panacea Silica Gel Crystals. It works much better to try out electronics and it's reusable, you just put it on the oven and cook it a bit to dry out. It's what they use for old school hearing aid dryers so it's safe to use on electronics. With the hearing aids you would have the crystals in a perforated tub so air could reach them but the crystals couldn't escape and you'd put them in an airtight container. You could probably put these in a small ziploc bag, stab the bag all over with a fork, then put the bag and the phone in a larger gallon size ziploc. That will get residual water out of it. They also sell it in desiccant packs, often advertised for being used in a gun safe but available online so you don't have to go into a gun store. All of these are under 20 bucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-37131552662056541392015-10-02T16:11:25.679-04:002015-10-02T16:11:25.679-04:00Commercial in the near future:

Unfortunately, then-boyfriend was a shitheap and found a way to weasel out of it at the last minute, so I told her to keep the reservation and I'd take her.<br /><br />She decided to order not just any lobster, but the lobster prepared with a special stuffing, named for the Chef: "Lobster Larry."<br /><br />My friend grew up in a tiny town in the middle of Buttfucknowheresville, MidWestern State, and had only had lobster as "lobster tails." So when they set down Larry the Lobster in front of her, she didn't quite freak out as much as Craig did, but she did frantically wave the waiter back and beg him to have the head removed. "I can't eat him like this!" she said. "He's staring at me!"<br /><br />I caught the waiter rolling his eyes as he turned away and managed not to smile. I then spent the rest of my friend's birthday meal instructing her how to get a lobster apart. ("OW! It's hard to break this!" "What do you mean, suck on the end?!" "What the HELL is this goo in here??")<br /><br />While I endured the glares from Mr And Mrs Snooty Patootey at the next table over, I did notice that some of the "goo" inside Larry the Lobster was roe. Larry was really Loretta, and I wisely kept my yap shut.Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-17688602767855110242015-10-02T15:14:33.287-04:002015-10-02T15:14:33.287-04:00I can think of few things more uncomfortable than ...I can think of few things more uncomfortable than riding a bicycle nekkid, no matter the gender.McDuckGAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034755821921760265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-20500773168730351722015-10-02T11:59:55.550-04:002015-10-02T11:59:55.550-04:00IG,

And I had an original copy. That feature was banned quickly, and replaced with an order form. All my friends were jealous.<br /><br />You can see the original poster at the bottom of the Wiki article.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_%28Queen_album%29<br /><br /><br />And so, now you know how the line relates.<br /><br />IGGrumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-28697211856241327172015-10-02T11:18:26.949-04:002015-10-02T11:18:26.949-04:00Good stuff
