In oil

In my life I have made many poor judgements. Teaching Micheal Jackson to mix coke and wine, telling everyone in Pomeii that a little ash couldn't hurt and to stop whining, going to that Dave Mathews Band Concert (you know what you did to me Dave, and I will never ever forgive you), but by far the worst of all is one that is a fairly regular occurance. I have the unhealthy ability to select tuna in oil. I don't know why my hands are so good at fooling my brain that I am graspiing the "in Water" can, but no, I am really grabbing 6oz of shredded fish and 10w 30 weight. It really wouldn't be so bad if you could actually drain tuna in oil. but you can't, you might remove some oil (enough to grease a pan) but still more remains (about equal to amount needed to wax my car). And if you get any out into the sink, your drain becomes an Exxon Tanker accident. (poor little spoons, I only hope hot celebrities arrive soon so they can be cleaned) My real question I guess is why do all the tuna companies make tuna in oil? I have asked several people and no ever buys it on purpose. It's always some David Copperfield slight of hand that allows it into your cart. If only starkissed and bumblebee knew that no actually wants the "in oil" cans we might be free from their slimy grossness for ever.

Neverthewhat

I just wanted to post a quick few sentences of rage towards a gross missuse of the english language that I love and respect so dearly. It's just the grammar that bothers me most of the time, and the spelling, goddamn spelling. Anyways I was very disturbed to find one of my most hatiest words several times during a single days reading. NEVERTHELESS (yes surprisingly enough "nevertheless" appeared several times in both Penthouse letters and Better homes and gardens, what can I say, I appreciate a well thought out bedroom decor) Nevertheless is utter Bullshit. I've heard of compound words before, but this goes beyond that. This is 3 words. 3 whole words smashed together. muchlikethis andtherest ofthisblog. I am herby starting a campaign to eliminate nevertheless or conversely eliminate spaces between words. it's your choice, lose one ridiculous word, or that long thin thumb rest at the bottom of your keyboards
