    Lunch linkage

    Steve Don’t Eat It! – Silkworm Pupas » “But what caught me off guard was the crunchy cocoon. Silk my ass. This was like chewing on tiny bones. The good news is I was immediately distracted by the unexpected squirt of briny liquid that shot out into my mouth. A little heads up would have been nice. (Am I right, ladies?)” In-fucking-deed. Skinny Daily Post: Out of the closet » Yes, another one from SDP: “Weight loss is both immensely personal and inescabably public. Like it or not, no matter how indepent we are, we inevitably find ourselves in situations where our desire for healthy eating creates a certain disruption…

    Lunch linkage

    I’ve decided to start posting the links I find daily for perusal and commentary. These are links from my del.icio.us site, simply gathered daily and posted. Micro Persuasion: Bookmarklets Every Blogger Should Have » Not just bloggers, but those that read blogs or generally want to use the web in as networked a way as possible.

    Hot chicks with hairy nips

    …Don’t ask. Really. Thorn night was wild, and I think my News Editor is certifiably insane. It feels like it’s been a minute since I spouted anything here. First, a bit of linkage. From Eros Blog are two Andrea Dworkin-esque pieces of writing that I found thought-provoking: “The Power of Thought” (the Beaver is against fantasies) and “Expectation, another tip of the sword” (on why women fake orgasms). Yeah, so there’s that. I’ve been listening to Dublab quite a bit recently due to its calming and refocusing effect on me, and one of the DJ’s sets (Take’s current “Latest Dish Mix”) is completely rocking my world. I even went geek…

    Katrina readings

    I don’t personally have much to say about Katrina and the devastation of New Orleans, other than to suggest strongly that people donate. Yes, even college students. Pass on buying another video game or on going out for dinner one night and donate a few dollars. Oh, and I want to express a bit of outrage at something a coworker said last week. This man (who I would peg at being over 40 years old) said, “I think this is the biggest natural disaster that’s occurred in my lifetime.” Let us not so quickly forget the tsunami, people.

    Ew, ew, ew… but funny…

    Steve, Don’t Eat It! is a page containing one suicidal man’s experiments with eating… well, one could conceivably call the stuff food. For instance, when he eats Beggin’ Strips: Meat is a pretty large umbrella. Beef is meat. Pork is meat. Horses, monkeys, and allegedly Arby’s roast beef are meat. Even Rosie O’Donnell’s ball sack is meat. Okay, maybe I’ve gone too far. I have no idea what that is they are serving at Arby’s, but you get my point. The page is hilarious. I was very glad the roommate was out of town when I read it, as I probably would have scared him with how much I was…
