Tips on enjoying Wasabi safely!

I love Wasabi anything!  The chemical that produces the hotness: isothiocyanate, is also guilt free!  Unlike the capsaicin found in hot peppers, this volatile compound breaks down in the gut, so it doesn't burn you twice!  Here are some tips to enjoy Wasabi safely:

1):  Only handle it with your non-dominant hand (not the hand that might be touching sensitive mucous membranes anytime in the next 24 hours).

2): While chewing, inhale through your nose and out through your mouth.  This will prevent the excruciating sinus burn that can easily make one cry, and ruin the pleasure of eating Wasabi!

Aluminum handles on Chinese take-out useful around the home and garden!

The wire handles on Chinese take-out containers are actually aluminum, and very pliable.  Pull them out and you can use them as handy, heavy-duty ties, for the garden, etc.  If you're doing demolition and putting debris in the 6 mil "contractor" bags, these are the ideal tie!

"Berserk" is exhibit "A" in confirming the veracity of "Mommie Dearest", Joan Crawford hangs herself!

If you've ever seen "Mommie Dearest" you need to see "Berserk", Joan Crawford's attempt at a comeback. It is totally MST 3000 material! It was funded and partially written by Joan, and is so frigging freudian! It's not really a spoiler to tell you that the psycho killer is the Crawford character's deranged psychopathic daughter, played by Judy Geeson. In the climactic scene she rushes at JOan with a knife: "I have to destroy you because you're successful!" The continuity is SO BAD that no one working on the script bothered to point out that the Geeson character doesn't even appear at the Circus (after being expelled from boarding school, where the saintly Joan put her to protect her from the rude and crude circus world) until half a dozen murders have already happened! Another hoot is when the hunk tightrope walker kicks Diana Dors out of his trailer cuz his passion is only for Joan!

John Fogerty should be able to own the songs he wrote for CCR!!!

John Fogerty got screwed by a manager, and by the courts.  All of his Creedence Clearwater Songs were stolen.  He even got sued for "royalties" for playing HIS OWN MUSIC!  And of course some mean old judge sided with the manager: "You signed the form."  Right, some unsophisticated kid got swindled by a con man.  JF should own the songs he wrote, period!  There is the law as written, and then the spirit of the law.  Mean old men, like Thomas, Roberts, Scalia and Alito, say, "There is no 'right to privacy' written into the constitution."  and, therefore, women can't control their own bodies.  Of course, when it comes to the 2nd Amendment explicitly tying gun ownership to participating in a State-sanctioned militia they flip-flop, which is all a mean bitter old man can do.
