Amusing Juxtapositions [More:]Tonight it was eating a homemade calzone whilst listening to an episode of RadioLab on parasites. They opened the show with a detailed description of the chestburster scene from Alien ultimately relating it to our attitudes toward parasites. As this was playing out a pocket of cheese, sauce and chanterelles burst through the top of my 'zone.

Beyond that there is nothing quite like hearing about hook worm, blood flukes and parasitic wasps as you eat. Needless to say I cooked my calzone a couple of extra minutes.
The word "juxtaposition" will always bring this movie scene to mind, for me.

I'm glad you could even eat your calzone. Sounds like those descriptions would have probably put me off it.

Ha, good clip, never saw that film.

The calzone was made with chanterelles - I could have eaten it in a feedlot.

I love the film. Of course, I can watch anything that has Ewan MacGregor in it.
