    Get yourself a proper potato ricer. Best of both worlds. They are bomber, and produce the best mashed potatoes you've ever had.

    Bought this one 8 years ago and it's the bomb:

    Well, there you have it.
    Pineapple on pizza should be a punishable offense.

    Burned a fist sized hole in my carpet with a tiny ember because the rug my wife put in front of the stove turned out to be an ordinary rug, not a fire resistant hearth rug. The area rug burned slowly out from the ember and down into the carpet below.

    I've almost clicked on the "Intermittent fisting" thread at work a few times.

    The way some book spines read right side up if it’s resting on its back cover (most English language books) and others read right side up if resting on the front cover (German books/publishers?)

    You know there's another thread for things that annoy you that shouldn't, right?

    Oh, that would have been annoying I suppose.

    I'd FedEx the little bastard to you, but after a couple warnings and incidents, I suspect I'm just going to have to settle his hash.


    You know, dandelions do important things for the earth and have a right to live, in and of themselves.
    But if dandelions start cropping up in my garden, it's just their tough luck. I'm gonna kill them.

    Twice now, this fucker has been warned. 1st time was a close shot with a wrist rocket when he was stomping around my bushes like Baba Yaga, grabbing and eating little juncos.
    The second was when he chased Good Morning chickadee about 2 feet over my head. [Sharpies have a particular erratic, almost dove-like wingbeat when they're digging in and accelerating.]

    Now he's setting up across the road, between where my hoodie wearin' jaybirds roost, and my deck.
    That's unfortunate, as I've given him ample notice that my birds are under my protection.

    I've only been bitten by a couple things in my life and each time it is memorable.

    I always remember their names and the exact moment.

    We have here a rescued magpie that a guy who lives in a school bus trained from an injury since almost birth falling from wherever that bitch came from.

    She's perfectly fluent in English. Can hold a solid conversation, but she's fiestyyyy!.

    She visits me all the time, tries to get on my shoulder like all the other guys in town, but she knows I wont have it.

    She's harassing me. I learned that breadcrumbs are not their diet, they crave protein.

    I swear, I should have never had my friend pierce my ear with a hot needle in middle school, because this bird makes me look like a hipster, all the while screaming, "give me, give me, come one, give me".

    Bitch.

    They say pet ravens are like that too - If they like you they'll beat up on you to amuse themselves. Like your buddies when you were 14...
    And just like your buddies when you were 14, you have to get and maintain the upper hand - be proactive, fuck with them first.

    "Killick there! You slab-sided Dutch-built sodomite! Where's my keys and my number one scraper?"
    "Which it's olready 'ere this last half glass, ain'tit?"


    My pies aren't as outgoing as jays. But if I don't make with the peanut butter on the deck rail, the pies will land there and start doing the scraping-peanut-butter-off-the-deck-rail dance where they hop up and down and then put one side of their face on the deck rail like they're scraping yummy peanut butter with their beaks...Not just 'beak wiping'. So they are not just begging for a handout, but dancing for a specific food. Sometimes Safeway puts 5lb jars of Skippy on sale for $5, limit 4. heh
    They like cat kibble too, and it's got a good dose of calcium, which birds can't store as well as they might need. [Which is why birds will eat white paint chips - for the calcium.]

    My pies are strong. They'll gang up on that hawk and run him to a tall tree and hassle and heckle and haze his ass until he boots way the fuck off. Meantime, every songbird in the 'hood knows where Grendel is.
    I'm still gonna bust that sharpie with a load of #6 if I can catch him within my ROEs.

    The wrist rocket sounds like a good idea if the snowballs don't work on my pigeons, at least until I bust a window next to where they're roosting. Tennis balls work but I only get one shot per ball--they bounce off the deck, across the road and into the lake.
    If you watch me go after the pigeons you might be reminded of Bill Murray.

    So Jr and I stop into McDonald's, which was annoying to begin with.
    But low and behold, they have the convented McRib on the electronic ordering thing. I'm all stoked to eat so nasty but tasty samich. Jr comes back from getting the order and informs me they no longer are serving the aforementioned nasty sandwich. The really annoying part was it took about minutes to refund my money.
