Last night I posted a terrific blog entry… Well that’s a lie, it was fairly awful. This morning it was gone. Why? I don’t know. No matter. I’ve got lot’s of great stuff for today but first let’s reflect on:
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
When I was substantially younger there were a lot of chocolate peanut butter accidents. It may seem odd now but back in the day people routinely rolled around with an open jar of peanut butter. Inevitably they’d smack right into someone eating a chocolate bar. Tempers would flare and the situation would escalate into a scene of unimaginable violence (monkey knife fight, cool). The Hershey Corporation stemmed the tide with a series of PSAs
It turns out that if people bothered to try eating the chocolate and peanut butter amalgamation they would find that they liked it. This doesn’t work with everything of course and Beatallica illustrates that Metallica is not the jar of peanut butter to the Beatles chocolate bar.
Stop the music here:
TV pick for tonight:
The Untouchables
The movie contains this classic exchange:
Eliot Ness: How do you do it then?
Malone: You wanna know how you do it? Here’s how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue! That’s the Chicago way, and that’s how you get Capone!
Of course that scene went longer, little known bit that ended up on the cutting room floor:
Eliot Ness: What if they send flowers?
Malone: Then you send candy…With a card. And God help you if they send you a spa gift certificate.
Eliot Ness: I don’t understand
Malone: Then you have to send two of theirs to the spa…and deliver the happy ending….personally. That’s the Chicago way!
Eliot Ness: ewwwwww
Game pick: Goldminer pretty fun and you only use two buttons.
