Spelling Out My Own Preferences

Consider: Healing touch on the one hand; bandages, antibiotics, and a little actual medical expertise on the other.

When offered a choice, I would personally prefer the latter.

I think the sight of Tom Cruise approaching would be enough to re-energize my nervous system, at least the “run in the opposite direction” department.

In-freakin’-deed.

That whacky “healing touch” fraud was taught for a few years at the Univ of Colorado nursing school.  Its not just Scientology that bought into that snake oil.

If Christina Hendricks were a Scientologist, and were she to offer some healing touch, I think you might see some miracles happen.

Context is important.

So, instead of the placebo effect, it’d be the libido effect.

Call it what you like, but as far as I’m concerned, she can raise the dead.

Several times, most likely.

I’m sure she can raise something.

Some day I’m going to have to hire some adult supervision for this place…

on Jan 25 2010 @ 08:59 AM

Do you know any?

on Jan 25 2010 @ 09:17 AM

Adult supervision?  Is that like mom’s eyes in the back of her head sort of thing?

on Jan 25 2010 @ 10:11 AM

More like a dad with a wide leather belt and strict codes of behavioral conduct.

A mom with eyes in the back of the head is just a terrifying mutant sent to eat the souls of children, which seems a little extreme.

on Jan 25 2010 @ 10:19 AM

But it does make you wonder about their extra-curricular activities after the kids go to bed.

on Jan 25 2010 @ 10:33 AM

You’re complaining about US, but you’re the talking about thick leather belts and Daddy roleplay.

Completely off-topic, but I’m especially grateful for beer right now.

And the Wendy’s Baconator (TM).

I’ve never understood the appeal of Scientology. And do they like not reveal the story of Xenu until the adherents are sufficiently brainwashed?

I’d make a remark about the creep factor of having eyes in the back of the head, but the Mr. Lady would google part of it, and be mad at me again. wink And, speaking of mutants, I’m now picturing Christina Hendricks as Mystique.

on Jan 25 2010 @ 06:27 PM

I was grateful for the Baconator too, until I found out mayonnaise is part of the recipe.

On a burger that comes with fried beef patties, bacon and cheese, they figured it needed another dollop of grease—and this time the kind that imparts no flavor whatsoever.

Apparently the first few times I had the Baconator they only put a tiny amount of mayo on it and I didn’t notice—but when I have to wipe it off my chin I take offense for oh, so many reasons.

If the mayonnaise has no flavor, it’s the wrong brand of mayonnaise. I put mayonnaise on my french fries. With black pepper. Mmmmmmm—mayonnaise.

I’d like to see your Jimmy the Tulip routine sometime.

on Jan 26 2010 @ 03:10 PM

If the mayonnaise has no flavor, it’s the wrong brand of mayonnaise.

Agreed, since in my opinion there is no right brand.

Mayonnaise on fries!? {{{shudder}}} But I grok the black pepper.

In a stunning display of on-topic commenting, I’ll point out that at least John Travolta brought food.

Okay, maybe it’s debatable that MRE’s are food. I don’t know whether they include mayonnaise.

Oh, and he brought Kelly Preston too. I’d let her do the whole laying on of hands thing. As long as she didn’t try to hook up the galvanometer, because I’m just not into that sort of thing.

on Jan 26 2010 @ 04:54 PM

jed is Belgian?  Who knew?

Well, if it’s possible to become Belgian by ingestion, I might have a shot at it.

And, for those who aren’t afraid of a little salmonella, try making your own mayonnaise. I haven’t done this, because I’m lazy. I used to dump a whole raw egg into a milkshake, and I’m still here. Remember when you could get raw egg in an Orange Julius?

If someone can arrange for Christina Hendricks, or even Kelly Preston, to be present, I’ll try the real mayonnaise. (Or really, any sufficiently attractive nurse)

Hmm, WV=’death28’. Ominous?

on Jan 26 2010 @ 10:03 PM

Okay, maybe it’s debatable that MRE’s are food. I don’t know whether they include mayonnaise.

If they did, there’d be no debate. Mayonnaise is an organic industrial lubricant, not a condiment.

on Jan 27 2010 @ 08:40 AM

You’re confusing it with Miracle Whip.  That’s not a condiment.

And yeah, I’ve made mayonnaise at home.  Mmm.  Also, not Belgian that I know of.  Just a mutt.  There may be some Belgian in there somewhere.

on Jan 27 2010 @ 08:58 AM

Pro-mayo.

Anti-Miracle Whip.

And really anti those stupid ads that tried to make Miracle Whip look rebellious, hip, and sexy. Some of the most laughably stupid ads I’ve seen in a long time.

“We will not tone it down.”

Morons.

Yet another benefit of not watching the boob tube. I can’t remember when I last saw an ad for Miracle Whip.

And I suspect that mayonnaise would suffer viscosity breakdown in an industrial application. Non-industrial, maybe, but then you’d be better off just using olive oil straight.

on Jan 27 2010 @ 04:50 PM

I didn’t say it was an effective industrial lubricant. If it were, its makers wouldn’t try so hard to sell it as a condiment.

on Jan 28 2010 @ 07:16 AM

red bull!!
