Gulp Gulp


Why?

I'm on a team, producing an entry for the Compass Academy 24 Hour Film Festival. We've been given a few items that must be in the film, and the rest is up to us.

Theme: Black is the New White
Location: Phone Booth
Prop: Putty
Line: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." (Princess Bride)

We got those at 8:00 PM and have to turn in the finished 5 minute film the next evening.

How do you get through that?
An 8:00 AM trip to 7-11, that's how.

Why does the Double Gulp even exist? It's 64 ounces! I finished it in about 2 hours and my new hobby suddenly became going to the bathroom.

maybe it's just me...

Shout-Out To My Peeps


The Easter Bunny has come and gone, the frilly grass - in a variety of different colors has been scattered to the four winds, and the chocolate eggs are nothing but foil wrappers. What is left behind are the Peeps.

Peeps are the colored sugar covered marshmallow treats in the shapes of bunnies and chicks. They taste exactly how you imagine they do.

Not everyone views them as just a seasonal cavity inducing lump of marshmallowey goodness. There are those who have performed, shall we say, "unorthodox" experiments on the little fellas.

  • reaction to cold

  • reaction to heat

  • solubility testing

  • low-pressure environments


Not to mention the risk analysis.

I just like eating 'em.
maybe it's just me...

actually, I'm pretty sure it's just me.
