it’s funny vermont is like one of the FEW places ive been to that far from the nyc metro area (went on a HORRIBLE ski trip and was bored out of my mind for three days. i had no internet access and i was too afraid to actually ski) but anyway, did try what everyone said was the real deal maple syrup and i was not impressed one bit. give me my mrs. butterworth and aunt jemima anyday. yeah im sure it’s made up crap but the real deal organic maple syrup tasted so blah. maybe i just had a bad batch of it something tho

“From what part of the cheese is the “whiz” derived?”

ha ha,
the whiz is that you can spray it out of a can,
it’s aerosolized tasty goodness.
I guess it’s like the chicken nugget,
where exactly does that piece of nugget fit into
a chicken? Damned if I know.

benson,
during the last snow storm, as I was working like a dog
shoveling, I realized that it is very difficult to get a good quality snow shovel.
What the hell!
I’ve gone through 4 shovels in the last 5 years. I swear they’re made to break after a few uses. I examined one closely and I realized that these pieces o’shit are made to the minimum manufacturing standards with thin metal, cheap plastic and held together with a single screw.
Planned obsolescence.
This week I’m buying one of those old style snow shovels with a wooden handle that last for 30 years.

Stepford wives, on the other hand, are not capable of contributing anything meaningful to the world, and thus must be ignored.

i dont know about that. they have a tendency not to be uber annoying helicopter parents, they have no time, they can’t be asked. and people who have helicopter parents grow up to the be like the worst kind of adults.. so in essense i believe steford wives raise better children than the tofu thumpers youre saying are better. believe me, they are not. they are the types of will constantly harp it into their kids that they are pefect little creatures who can do no wrong, and im sorry that is not that case for most people. kids need to be told at an early age the truth.
