BUTTER

This garlic bread had the most disgusting amount of garlic butter on it. This is post oven; there was so much that it didn’t melt totally.

The Monster That Challenged the World/It! The Terror From Beyond Space

When I saw The Monster That Challenged the World (1957), directed by Arnold Laven, briefly featured in Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978), I decided to check it out. For late 50’s sci-fi, it is pretty good. The monster are actually monsters, slugs to be exact, in The Monster That Challenged the World. The movie comes on a double DVD with It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958), directed by Edward L. Cahn. It! The Terror From Beyond Space was a massive influence on Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). While Alien drew from a number of sources, like A. E. van Vogt’s The Voyage of the Space Beagle (1950), It! The Terror From Beyond Space really is Alien, man in a rubber suit and all.

Toasters

I got a new toaster recently as a gift. Before I tell you about it, I need to give you a little backstory on my relationship with toasters. A couple of years, when I was living with Mike and Joe, Mike and I figured we needed a toaster to fill our occasional toasting needs. So we went to Target or something and bought the cheapest toaster we could for $6.

BK Pipe

straw

This is some shit. I bought a Burger King milk shake the other day on the PA turnpike. I got a medium. It was fucking enormous of course. So big they didn’t give me a regular straw for it. I got a straw so big it had it’s own branding. The BK Pipe™. Apparently the product of “Have it your way technology.”
