[Meta] Search Terms

I love looking at the search terms that bring people to my blog. The number one thing seems to be the plucky little restaurant in Washington that shares my nickname. Well, one of my nicknames. Followed by pinto beans, and various restaurants that I enjoy.

Then there are the searches that amuse me, such as “What do monkeys drink?” And the ones that frighten me, like, “Can I give someone food poisoning?”

Yesterday, someone got to my blog with “i don’t want a mary sue”.

*puppy dog eyes*

I’m crushed. How could you not want me?

[Meta] Statement on Politics

Hello.

Please be aware that there will be no mention of the private lives of politicians, political candidates, or their families on this blog.

I believe that how I live my life, as long as I’m not hurting myself or others, is not the business of any politician. Conversely, I believe that politicians and their families are due the same respect to a private life.

Sure, some of the politicians don’t believe they have no right to pry into my life and that of my family and loved ones, but I’d like to think I stand as a role model for them. Moral high ground, if you will.

Thank you.

(I am cross-posting this statement on all my blogs)

[Food] I Has a Bukket

A little announcement: In an effort to simplify my life, I’m going to consolidate my five blogs into one. So expect more geeky/Portland/fiscal posts on this blog.

Having said that: DOUGHNUTS! Voodoo Doughnut Too, to be specific. I decided to pop in because I LIKE DOUGHNUTS!

At Voodoo, to the uninitiated, they will sometimes put the day-olds in a pink box and sell ‘em for five bucks. And sometimes, when they have, oh, say, an empty bucket that used to hold 43 pounds of maple icing, they will fill the bucket back up with day-old doughnuts and sell the bucket for five bucks.

I thought to myself, “You know what? I work in a big warehouse. I’m sure they can eat an entire bucket of doughnuts. Plus, free bucket!”

My inner redneck really likes buckets, the freer the better. Buckets are useful, okay!?

Do you know how many doughnuts can fit in a bucket that used to hold 43 pounds of icing?

- 17 Maple Bars
- 3 Memphis Mafias
- 5 Blazer Blunts
- 8 Vegan blueberry
- 4 Oreo Peanut Butter
- 5 Oreo covered
- 2 Chocolate Bars
- 4 No Name
- 3 Raised Chocolate Covered
- 11 crullers (That’s ridiculous. It’s not even funny.)
