presto: pesto

Dave at work had apparently raised a small army of basil plants in his garden and left what looked like a significant drug bust's worth of green leaf filled baggies in the break room. What can you do but make homemade pesto in this circumstance?
Smoke up more than Bob Marley himself, you say? No, you didn't read that last paragraph correctly. There's this word... metaphor.. maybe you should look it up.
It was my second attempt at homemade pesto ever. And, I'm sorry cmonster, but I have to say that this batch turned out better.
My two secrets are 1. hand chopping in oil (no food processors) and B. parsley. As for the rest of the pesto love (basil, never-had-sex-and-never-going-to olive oil, penne, dash of salt, faint hint of garlic, romano cheese [from Wisconsin, the Italy of the Americas], toasted pine nuts, garlic bread) ... well if you're not doing it that way then you're just beyond help, Zach's Secrets or not.
It actually turned out so good that I had a pesto withdrawl headache this morning. Well... or it may have been that prison wine that Dani tried to poison me with.
P.S. I'll continue to deny my Grey's Anatomy love in mixed company.

So, Man Man has this song "Spider Cider" and while I was buying my SEVEN POUNDS of Halloween candy with which to fill my annual Cauldron o' Candy at Target I saw that Jones Soda has a special edition Spider Cider flavour for the season. Naturally, I bought some for me and Jesse.
We just chugged it during the SPIDERCIDERSPIDERCIDER! parts of the song. It tasted like apples, bubblegum, and death. Horrible vomiting acid blood death.
Turns out the last ingredient is "Medium Chain Triglyceride." I don't know what that is, but I'm pretty sure you can blow things up with it.
Also, never mix Mentos and Jones Soda.
we had a nice run

After much coffee and breakfast foods at the Neighborhood Café with the Sith, I have come to the conclusion that we're all fucked. Thank you very much, and good night.
