Read an article yesterday about a guy who won a cockroach eating contest, fell ill right after and died. I am never eating bugs or such.

I'm going to see Igor Stravinsky's "The rite of spring," in concert, tonight!

Beat you too it. But yeah, that's so stupid.

And I thought I was a dumbass.

Only the necessary. You gotta try everything, you know? And inhumanist; I don't recommend eating maggots. When I say "larvae", I mean stuff akin to caterpillars and such. Watch out though, some are poisonous!

Cockroaches aren't exactly the healthiest creatures on earth. Maybe they weren't cleaned properly?

So I just now realized that Lamb of God's logo is written in Papyrus. This must be why I hate them so much despite having heard exactly one song by them.

Fuck that font and fuck everyone who would ever associate with it including that band.

@ Xlxlx

Cockroaches aren't that dirty, though. They clean themselves all the time. Maybe the guy just ate to damn much, or had an allergic reaction.. An old fashioned heart attack also could have done the trick.

Yeah, perhaps, though he got ill before dying, so I'd discard the heart attack. The allergic reaction sounds more likely.

You can also die if you eat not well cooked chicken, are you gonna stop eating chicken too? Blatant and lame generalisations!

THANK YOU, Tony!

I dunno though, if it took you an article about a guy dying from eating bugs to NOT want to eat bugs...that's pretty odd.

Ey, some bugs can be pretty nice.... like chocolate covered grashoppers.

EDIT

And bugs are a lot more energy efficient than a steak... though I dread the day on which we have to give up steak...

It's acceptable for Thai food menus and those Asian-themed stores at the mall that sell overpriced junk like blowguns and...

Eureka! Lamb of God are like Thai food. Potentially very enjoyable, less so but still recognizable as the same thing when it's overdone, and it has a following of people who won't shut up about it being the greatest thing ever.

Just came back from school, where we made agnolotis. Just so you know, they're kinda like dumplings, but Italian and stuffed with ham and mozzarella (or at least that's the way we prepared them). They were delicious.

How dare you post pictures of italian food? I'm dying here. I just bought a mini Pizza and had to throw it away because instead of the supposed champignons there was tuna under the cheese and I'm vegetarian. I NEED MY DAILY TOMATO SAUCE AND CHEESE FIX GODDAMNIT

I GLOAT IN YOUR SUFFERING!!!

But yeah, that's what you get for being a dirty grass eater!

PS: Just in case SOMEONE misses it; I'm kidding with the "grass eater" thing. Not so much with the gloating.

When the apocalypse comes I'll be one of the first to gladly eat humans. Then we'll see who has the last laugh.

Well, the joke's on you, because I'm all for cannibalism in times of desperation!

Papyrus is only acceptable as an indicator of where not to take your business. Pilates studio? Yeah, I'm staying away from there. New Age gift shop? No way. Restaurant menu? Food is going to give you the shits. That font demonstrates a total lack of effort and taste on the part of the owners.

And, of course, everything described above is still applicable to Lamb of God. Comic Sans gets more hatred as a font, but at least it doesn't have any shitty bands parading it around.

For you people who care so much about fonts: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0847817/

You are all secretly hipsters ironically pretending to be into metal, admit it.

Tread carefully. Saying that word thrice summons PhilosophicalFrog.

So speak of him, and he shall appear!

Ggood timing for me to have some internet access (albeit briefly). My apartment flooded, we have no internet access, and my phone got fucked up, so I haven't been on in awhile But good news is that internet is back on Friday and phone should be good tomorrow. AWWWW YEAAAHHH.

They might clean themselves all the time, but they spread their feces and their foul-smelling secretions everywhere, including (especially) on food and dishes but also books and papers. They are also carriers of nasty germs and are highly allergenic. They are considered as really fucking nasty for a reason.

That anyone would choose to eat such a thing is beyond me...

New Big Bird costume seems to a hit.

Only on Halloween and in front of the mirror, though.

Also I found Barker Ranch! This weekend I'm gonna be camping up there so expect some awesome pictures of the old Manson compound.

Got Yeasayer's debut album in the mail today. Discography complete. Feels good.

I guess you've never heard of Food For Louis.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

where is my fucking Nobel then?

Someone needs to fix this bot, It's stuck on Yeasayer posts.

I'm just genuinely surprised that they're not from Japan.

If its any consolation, I drove home today blasting Ningen-Isu.

Wan't that bad? It's motherfucking good!!!
You ate the worng ones, obviously. Crickets are DELICIOUS.
Eat me!!!

Fuck you man! I want to see that, Stravingsky is one of my favorite composers. Though I'd rather watch the original ballet he composed that for. That would be awesome.

If I see one more post on facebook/ internet with someone saying Le "insert verb, noun, adjective, etc here" again I'm going to flip my shit.

Funny, since I find it very hard to encounter anything "le"-related unless you actively search for it.

Not really...it can pop up from time to time. On Facebook and the likes.

New Threshold is really, really frigging good, you guys. Anybody else heard it yet?

Almost there. I just have to go through...23 more albums to get to it, and 11 of those are the other Threshold albums.

I've been obsessing over Dead Reckoning these past few days, so I'll probably get March of Progress as soon as I can. How does it compare?
