  1. You Keep Using That Word, Vol.10: Profanity Edition

    I have been a lifelong lover of curse words since I first discovered their versatility and delicious irreverent punch, really coming into my own with my usage when I started working in restaurants in college (the food service industry is the Olympics of creative cursing).

  10. I had to pick up a package at the post office. As I walked up to the door, I was approached by one of those people paid to collect signatures for possible state props. She asked me if I was in favor of putting homeless people on “some kind of aphrodisiac medicine.” Um...?!

    She very earnestly told me that there was a proposal to provide homeless people with aphrodisiacs, and asked if I would sign. I looked down at the paper.

    Psychedelics!! The proposal is around making a state commission for psychedelic medicine, probably because the Governor just vetoed decriminalization.

    I said pardon, but you have the wrong word? She asked what aphrodisiac meant. I told her it was medicine to make people want to have sex, and she busted out laughing. This was her 2nd day and she had been using the wrong word the whole time. I was the 1st person to say anything. She said, no wonder people had been giving her such weird looks!

  15. Huh.
    /me has a sudden realization that I am a LOT of white people's greatest fear:

    Black.
    And anarchist.

    It's mainly because they don't fucking know what "anarchist" means, and they can't take 5 minutes to sit down and read a basic primer, but there we have it.

    Thank you to the shrieking white lady who connected those dots for me. I can't believe I didn't really think about this prior to this moment.

    Imma get me a beret and stop blowing out my hair.

  20. I hate to break it to some food writers, but "budget-busting" is not a positive aspect for a recipe.
