Moths on Toast, Please
So, someone told me I had a blog... I decided to cheap out and try making this a repository for things I find interesting online. That way, I don't feel that I have to write as much and my legions of fans stay entertained!
Or not. Like I care.
First and foremost, of course, is Tank Ball. This game totally rocks - a free, online game that you play against others. I'm going to kick your ass if you show up. Look for "tof," and I'm usually green unless there are too many of us.
Next is GorillaMask. There is a lot of misogyny, but plenty of funny as well. I try not to judge. Plus, without him I never would have found stuffonmycat.com. I don't think I have found a funnier collection of images than the first page or two. Don't keep going, though, because it's easy to OD on a one-trick pony.
As part of my research for the wi-fi theft article in Ed Magazine (August 13), I found a site that publishes detailed maps of Edmonton's unprotected wireless Internet locations. Wow. Detecting them is legal. Using them is not. You have been warned.
My plate is still uber-full, and I'm trying to keep the writing gigs coming. (For some reason, I seem to be approaching Where Edmonton and the Walrus...) I'm Vue-reviewing Padmanadi with the same family who came to the Goulash Restaurant, then I have DaDeO's and La Tapa to write for the web site contract. I'm putting the finishing touches on my Funeral Director Education piece for Vue, then I hurl out a VuePoint.
Somewhere, I'll grab time to work on my top-secret (but highly visual) Ed and Vue features. I'm hoping to spring them the same week, so that everybody in the entire city is reading my words during the first week of school BWAHAHAHAHA! My name will be a household word and an amusing anecdote. Young journalism students will be warned against doing "Thralls." Suh-weet.
Your "Forgotten English" and a reference back to the title of the entry:
In Why Not Eat Insects? (1885), Vincent Holt offered recipes for a wood lice sauce, whose flavour he said was "superior to shrimp."
"Collect a quantity of the finest wood-lice to be found - no difficult task, as they swarm under the bark of every tree - and drop them into boiling water. At the same time, put into a saucepan a quarter pound of fresh butter, a teaspoon of flour, a small glass of water, a little milk, some pepper and salt, and place it on the stove. As soon as the sauce is thick, put in the wood-lice. This is an excellent sauce for fish."
Other dishes included Slug Soup, Wasp Grubs Fried in the Comb, Cauliflowers Garnished with Caterpillars and Moths on Toast.
My scalp was crawling just typing that.
