One-of-a-kind rare "factory error" rhomboidal Triscuit snack cracker. You won't find this in any old cracker box. Authentication available, not some generic brand, not steam-altered. Just think of how much the quality-control wonks at General Mills would pay you to eat THIS story. Free insured shipping in hermetically-sealed low-humidity cushioned packaging. Price is firm, or off it goes to EBay. Serious inquiries only.

Is this art or the advanced stages of a triscuit-provoked psychosis?

Pork chop time: German Engineer style

v's german roommate is a nice guy: inoffensive, electrical engineer, but his culinary habits are astounding. do not ever think that just because someone comes from Old Europe that they know how to eat.

German Engineer pork chop recipe:
take 2 frozen (hard as rocks) pork chops
place them, as frozen as possible, into a disgusting fake Chinese soup.
boil them in the soup. this will allow the full flavor of the disgusting soup to penetrate the frozen flesh, likewise, the delicate saveur of the frozen flesh will give the soup a very unique aroma.
remove the pork chop from the soup.
place on a plate.
cover with another plate: this is cheaper than using the decadent invention of plastic wrap.
put in fridge for AT LEAST 5 days.
uncover, microwave, eat.

i am disgusted.

The text of the Fucking children sign reads: "Please, not so fast!" This really is a town in Austria that we should all go to. Over the years the poor citizens have battled against hoardes of enterprising tourists who have dared to steal the Fucking signs. To combat the problem the town has now Errected theft proof signs embedded in concrete.
