2. It depends
If you're a reall a shitty cook, people won't be able to tell the difference anyway.

7. Well actually,



...people often add sand TO my cooking. Like a condiment. Kinda brightens up the flavor, and all.





Mud pies, anyone...?

14. Oh man, I missed it!




I LOVE Bill Nye, and I would have loved to see that show. I used to watch Bill every day when I got back from my college classes. He is the best!














Note to self: Pick up Mentos, Diet Pepsi and goggles; check fire extinguisher, update will.

24. Oh! I want to try that
Do you know if the flavor of the mentos matters, can it be the fruity ones?

and does it have to be diet, and can it be coke, but not diet?

i'm SERIES I really want to try this!

6. You could, but I always go for
sugar and nutritional yeast. Tastes good, yet sets the ole insulin off in a huge way. They never notice.

18. Hold on...
I need to check my dental plan. I fear that such an open invitation will surely bring a multitude of cavities, what with the feasting I'd be taking part in upon your sugar lumps.

16. Cellmate: "...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl...

H.I.: "You ate what?"
Cellmate: "We ate sand."

23. Hmmm.



I tried that once, and everything sparkled nicely, and there was a satisfying texture... but somehow the flavor just didn't sizzle.


Hmmm ...maybe more sawdust...? :think:
