    I've never liked maple syrup that well. More for you, B_G.

    Really? Are you sure you've had really good, real maple syrup?

    I ask because pancake syrup is ubiquitous, and maple syrup is not. My mom thought she hated syrup on pancakes for years as it "made her throat tickle." Then she had real maple syrup and was shocked that she liked it.

    If you've never had 100% pure maple syrup from Quebec, you've never had true maple syrup, eh?

    It's true.

    There is a reason why Canada has a strategic maple syrup reserve.

    Yes, I've had real maple syrup, and while it's good, the price for the amount in the jar is a prohibitive for my total enjoyment, so, I've developed a taste for Mrs. Butterworth's syrup.
    Besides, she's dead sexy.

    I've had it from Vermont, and they seem to crow about their syrup almost as much as Canada. ;)

    If only maple syrup were as subsidized as corn syrup....

    The small town my parents are from used to hold an annual Sorghum Festival. They would cook sorghum molases as the main exhibit, and sell it. The small museum in town would sell it throughout the year while the supply lasted.

    When they did it correctly, it was black, so thick you could barely spoon it out of the jar (OK, a slight exaggeration), and had a flavor so strong you could taste it for 30 minutes after you ate it.

    Basic rule for middle aged men: hair grows best in the places where you don't want it. The hair in the places where you do want it generally fall out.

    Da fuq is this yellow-orange-brown shit coming out of my tap? I just wanted a bath and I EARNED it. I have a rip-roaring headache and my shoulders and neck are killing me from all the computer time with dissertation. I just wanted to soak in the tub with a book and a beer, then crawl into bed, watch an episode of Orange is the New Black Season 2, and crash out. Now it's 10:30, I'm grumpy and annoyed after purging the chlorine out of the pipes enough to at least rinse the sweat off, since the hot water tank wasn't affected. I forgot my laundry in the dryer for three hours, because I was helping a friend with her dissertation and my beer got warm while I was dealing with the bathtub.
    Fuck this evening.

    Okay, I'm done.

    Oh, and I burnt the damn cake I was making for work, because I used almond flour instead of all-purpose and it was a stupid recipe to begin with.

    I hate when my husband says I said one thing when in fact I said quite the opposite, and then won't believe me when I say otherwise. I'm blaming the ADHD.

    This Monday can suck it! I hate IT problems. I hate it more when they mysteriously fix themselves with no clear answer as to what went wrong or what made something work correctly again.

    How I love being schooled on how to do my job by a data analyst in her first week with our organization who has "a few years" of marketing and PR experience.

    This, by the way, is her idea of a necessarily eye-catching visual approach to educating our patients and visitors about hand hygiene and infection control.

    I should note that the pixelated mess in the background is supposed to be a sunrise.

    Way to go, twat!

  20. But it's for YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF YOUR LOVED ONES!

    Don't you get how SERIOUS this is? I had NO idea this was about washing your hands until I got down to the bottom of the poster, but I knew it was serious. I can tell by the ALL CAPS that I need to slow down and read this poster. The greyscale sunrise is so inviting too.

    Tell this bitch to shut her skank-ass mouth. You're too nice. Give me her email address and I will.
