Minutia

May 19th, 2009 by cooper

I went on a long run early this mor­ning in what see­med like sub­zero tem­pe­ra­ture. In realty was maybe 42 degrees Fah­renheit. The mind is a pecu­liar thing. During desig­na­ted win­ter I would have been dec­la­ring the mor­ning awe­some, almost hot, but because it’s May I was com­plai­ning of the chill it sent to my bones.

I just found Super­cook via Masha­ble, and gotta love the thought behind it. I can tell some of you might have a simi­lar loo­king refri­ge­ra­tor or food stash. You can list the ingre­dients you have and it will shoot off some reci­pes. I ended up having plenty of options, from Stuf­fed Bull Horns Pep­pers, Bagna Calda, Avo­cado Paste Sand­wich, Apple Pinwheels, to Bra­zi­lian Avo­cado Shake, Frappe Cap­puc­cino, Cheese Rolls, and Hot Rum Milk (Vir­gin and Sugar-Free). That was just the first 5 pages I think there were almost 200 sug­ges­tions or maybe pages not sure.

Spea­king of Vir­gin. I’m get­ting a lot of requests lately reques­ting vir­gi­nity soap. For some rea­son a very old post I wrote on this sub­ject must be making the rounds in a coun­tries where English is not the pri­mary lan­guage because a lot of peo­ple have got­ten the impres­sion I sell this stuff. Please folks vir­gi­nity soap is nasty in it’s ori­gins and intent. I don’t sell it and you shouldn’t buy it.

A rather pesky ques­tion I’ve been get­ting more the last few weeks. How much for an ad on your site? Do you see ads on my site? There ya go. An ad here is a pri­ce­less com­mo­dity because it is impos­si­ble to nego­tiate, but you are spe­cial so a thou­sand bucks a week will do it.

peace

    Re: desig­na­ted win­ter. I can relate. We’re drea­ding an upco­ming trip to the upper left coast. In past life, I would wel­come an island sum­mer that was sunny and not too warm. After two years in Hawai‘i, howe­ver, we’re afraid we’ll freeze to death. Kinda like we did in January when the tem­pe­ra­ture drop­ped a whole five degrees and we got the mit­tens out. Just like the nati­ves. Sigh.

      Upper Left, I love that desc­rip­tion. Just bring a sweatshirt and some socks. You are all going to have to tough it out.

    It’s funny, of all the posts I’ve mis­sed rea­ding her you would think I would have stum­bled across the vir­gi­nity soap one before now. It only goes to show, whe­ne­ver I think I’ve read enough of you, Coo­per, I could be rea­ding more.

  3. DougNo Gravatar says:

    Dang. Ads on this site must be really expen­sive! It must be all the moral repurity.

  4. piaNo Gravatar says:

    Agree with Mojo, though I know there isn’t ever enough Coo­per – don’t remem­ber the vir­gi­nity soap post. How much is it again? Can I buy an ad? I’m not sure what for but.….

    I had to put the heat on last night. It’s absurd. It is the last third of May – it’s sup­po­sed to be sum­mer here

    Love super­cook. I’ll try it when I get home. It does seem much col­der at 40 in May than in January. It’s all about per­cep­tion of what should be com­pa­red to what is.

    I remem­ber the vir­gi­nity Soap post. The posts must take a cou­ple years to make their way around the world eh?

    As for the tem­pe­ra­ture, any heat is too hot. The per­fect weather for me is over­cast but not raining/snowing. Anything else is too hot or too cold.

    I too was cur­sing at the chi­lled breeze a cou­ple of days ago when I step­ped outside in a short sleeve t-shirt. I just tried to remind myself that accor­ding to cer­tain fac­tions Glo­bal War­ming is not hap­pe­ning, nor is cau­sing erra­tic chill spi­kes in what is nor­mally con­si­de­red hot seasons.

    Cool food link. I’ve always wan­ted to do, & invent that actually. Scratch that idea off the list.

    As for the Vir­gin Soap, I’m not cer­tain I recall, but perhaps clai­ming that I didn’t need it.
    What would it really smell like if it did exist? I don’t really want to know. Someone might want to pay you for that mar­ke­ting idea. Funny though.

    You could fund your grad school costs by allo­wing the vir­gin soap pushers to put an ad on your site. But you could send the link to some idiot or com­pany you really do not like.

    Where’s Randy been lately? Too busy fra­ter­ni­zing with the baiters?

      He emai­led me a cou­ple weeks ago as one of his com­ments got dele­ted by mis­take, he didn’t believe it got dele­ted by mis­take…
      He shows up once in awhile. I don’t miss him but will gladly send him your way next time he appears.

    Does vir­gi­nity soap come on a rope?

    It’s pretty sad that anyone, man or women, is loo­king for that soap.
    You minu­tia is my main event. Love the super­cook idea. It works too.

    So what is a long run for you? (I’m hoping your ans­wer will moti­vate me to run farther.)

    Bone’s last blog post..That time my nip­ple was on fire

    • cooperNo Gravatar says:

      If it is a “long run” it’s usually ten miles give or take, and it means I pro­bably did the tow path on the c and o canal star­ting at one of seve­ral pla­ces. Other­wise a daily run, if I have time is only, 3 to 5 in the park or some other place near my home.
