Last night, I was tired and had had a few beers, and I got thirsty, and according to Pips, I went to the fridge and drank all the Half & Half. I feel very creamy.

and according to Pips

That is always a good sign! Back when I drank a lot of milk I would always chug a bunch after a night of drinking. It now makes me a little sick to think about, but there was something about that cold creaminess that gave me assurance I would wake up alright.

(well, hangovers are caused by dehydration, so I usually try to drink some milk or juice before going to bed. But this I don't remember doing and I must've been really out of it to drink the half & half.)

Don't get frothy with me!

Half & Half:

Half cow's milk,

Half __________?

posted by Hugh Janus 30 May | 08:38

All cow's milk, but it's half milk and half cream.

I always used to drink a banana milkshake after a heavy night.

BP, I was thinking more along the lines of:

Half cow's milk,

Half cow's juice.

or

Half cow's milk,

Half cow's milk,

Half cow's lemonade,

'Round the corner cow's fudge is made.

I'm worried. This could eventually lead to whipping cream or even pancake batter.

I just want my crust to be crispy, golden brown, and lighter than air when they fry me.

Half cow's milk,

Half cow's lemonade,

This is what I love about cows. When you cut a woman in half, [redacted]. [redacted]

Pancake banter, is what I'd call it.

Pattycake, pattycake, baker's man;
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I had status and before I had a pager,
Miss Lucy called the doctor,
The doctor called the nurse,
The nurse called the lady
With the alligator purse.

You're just sitting on the floor, leaning against the fridge, legs splayed, little pots of English double cream strewn about, then later just sitting roaming the streets at 3am, asking strangers if they can spare a stick of butter, the cops stop you, they turn out your pockets, they're full of empty little coffee creamer tubs and sample spoons from Ben & Jerry's

Yeah, you'd better watch it jon. Half and half is a traditional gateway to your harder dairy products. You don't want to end up like this guy:

A man suspected of stealing ice cream from a store was fatally shot by police after a running gun battle along several street blocks, police said...Police were at the scene when Moore returned to the store to get a spoon for a container of ice cream he was holding.

On Gordon Ramsay's TV show last night Alex James (of Blur) made him a cappuccino using human breast milk. He spat it out, said it was horribly sweet. Let's hope Starbucks don't see an opportunity ...

posted by essexjan 30 May | 10:09

I'd figure James would drink some, snuggle up to Ramsay, bury his face in his sweater, and fall asleep, before waking up and needing a diaper change.

Ramsay was a total wuss about it, he could barely stand to taste it. He bottled out of a challenge the week before eating something horrible with some motoring journalist. Again he spat it out when the other guy swallowed. I think it was some kind of shark meat that had been buried and dug up again, a delicacy in some part of the world.

It surprised me, I thought he'd eat anything.

Lutefisk?

Oh no, I found it. Hakarl.

Speaking of Wallace Stevens and Egil Skallagrimsson:

I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three carrion-glutted ravens.

I'm considering eating a box of sugar cubes and walking around the neighborhood saying 'Hey baby, I'm light and sweet!'

posted by jonmc 30 May | 11:39

By that line of reasoning, I'm black, two sugars.
