Me: Do you want me to tell you a story?

Maggie: All of your stories are bad.

Me: Ya, I guess our brains seem wired to remember the bad things more than the good. Why do you think that is?

Maggie: Well… when we were Neanderthals we wanted to remember to stay away from that saber-toothed tiger.

Me: Good point.

SO YOU OPEN THE CLOSET TO GET A BLANKET BUT THERE’S NO BLANKETS, ONLY HAMBURGERS WITH NO MEAT.

I don’t know who fused these two together but yes.

Peeps, let’s get this Wednesday started with a the-queen-has-been-overthrown jam.

It’s the Bassnectar Remix which is a little more fuzzy than the original but I like it.

And ya, she’s got some almost Elaine-like dance moves (sweet fancy moses) but whatever.

I was researching Compton, California as a possible vacation spot not long ago and was quite pleased with the information I found on TripAdvisor.com.

The Tropicana Motel features photos of the bathroom. Believe me when I say this is first room I always check out.

Jay Bee’s House of Fine Bar-B-Que is open for lunch and dinner. Don’t let the shady look fool you. Jay Bee is concerned with tastey food quality not atmosphere. That’s how you know when you getting good BAR-B-Q.

Best of all the pilot for the Celebrity Helicopters Day Tours is my kinda guy. When there’s a glitch what else can you say but “what the f***!?” And local kids to greet you!! How awesome is that?

One thing that I did find more than interesting while researching was just how many people from foreign countries were leaving inquiring about and/or leaving reviews on their experiences in Compton.

I mean we have people from South Africa, United Kingdom, Canada, and all the way down in New Zealand!

I’d never heard the phrase “holidaying in Compton” before but I like it!

The city was incorporated back in May 11, 1888 so ya know it’s chalked plum full of history. And it’s nestled right in between Los Angeles proper and Long Beach…so if you’re booking an extended stay and need more to do, you’re less than a stone’s throw from other hot spots.

The next time I book a flight or make travel plans, I’m checking out Compton for sure. 👍

PS- Compton has its own airport so ya don’t gotta mess with that LAX.

PPS- I’m not poking fun at Compton or its people. I’ve had a fascination with the city ever since in the late 80s when I heard N.W.A. sing Straight Outta… I’m more amused with some of the absurdity on TripAdvisor.

Well, I better get started…these cookies aren’t going to eat themselves.

Peeps, here’s your you-go-stabbing-yourself-in-the-neck jam for Tuesday afternoon.

How can you not love Floria Sigismondi (crazy The Ring girl) let alone Interpol?

50% chicken DNA: Why your favourite fast food chicken sandwich might not be what you ordered

Ben Bohrer, a food scientist at the University of Guelph, doesn’t know exactly how the chicken products Marketplace tested are made, but he’s very familiar with what the fast food industry calls “restructured products”.

Restructured products are essentially smaller pieces of meat or ground meat, bound together with other ingredients to make them last longer, taste better and, as Bohrer puts it, “add value” — restaurant speak for cheaper.

…

“People think they’re doing themselves a favour and making themselves a healthy choice,” she says. “But from a sodium perspective you might as well eat a big portion of poutine.”

Peeps, let’s get this Tuesday started with your had-our-chance-to-be-free ..or.. your the-futures-on-its-way jam. Your pick.

It’s a slow starter but starts to kick in around 5:10.

PS- You can buy this track on their Bandcamp page for a buck, whole album, too.
