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.”

Old photos

Mike recently asked me for a photo of him and mom. I actually don’t have many, and the ones I have aren’t always ‘serious.’ I had about 100 slides from home from our childhood and said I’d look through those. This batch of slides were the loose ‘reject’ slides that never made their way into boxes or trays. I was relatively unsuccessful, but I did find a couple photos that my dad took that I think are really neat. I’m going to start going through the old slides at home and digitizing them.

Bumpy Nerds

mmmm nerds

I went to the store after Easter to buy some sale stuff. This is what I ended up with. I already ate one bag; this one is going to Mike at some point. They are pretty gross. Jelly beans with a hard Nerd coating.

Nerds has had some dubious spinoffs in the past, but I think this is the worst. Mike used to talk about Nerds gum balls. And I’ll never forgive my mom for not buying me Nerds cereal when I was younger.

Brian and Buff got me this for my birthday. I assume that Brian was the driving force here. Thanks. It looks good in front of my door.

It doesn’t show up great in the picture, but it’s sparkly. That’s what the white dots are around the “ding dong.”

tricolor 5

I bought three color filters for my camera. A red one, a green one, and a blue one. I then took three black and white photos, one with each filter, scanned the negatives, and combined them in photoshop. After aligning them, I colored them the appropriate color and ended up with the above picture.

Kind of nerdy, completely inefficient, but kind of fun.
