9. Normally, I have NO idea of the original source of the vast majority of my pictures,,,
.
.
.
... but I gave it a shot and voila... was able to track it down.
.
.
.
Now for the bad news:
.
.
.
"Well, the good news for you is that I’ll spare you the step-by-step tutorial
on how to make an Asparagus Cake, because I have a feeling that I’m the
only one silly enough to spend days making a layer cake so unusual.

.
.
.
She apparently spent DAYS -- as an experienced cake-a-teer (?) -- fashioning the
icing, but she DOES have a contact point on her blog, so if you REALLY want her
method... maybe you'll get lucky.

8. Just canceled the doctor appointment.
I...I never made the connection.
I had asparagus Sunday evening and my pee smelled like sewer gas for a day and a half.
Boy, do I feel dumb.

Now this ↓ little guy is laughing at me.
.......:rofl:.......

I'm not being mean... HONEST!!!!!
.
Back in the 90's, I had treated myself to a whole POUND of grilled
asparagus after, for no particular reason, having gone for years
without it.
.
That night at work, that odor (which I actually LIKE) wafted up
from the urinal and scared the shit outta me.
.
Cross my poor, battered heart -- my first reaction was to start
reviewing my recent sexual history!!!
.
:spray::rofl:
.
Though... DOOFUS... it was probably less than 60 seconds before
I figured out the, um... root cause and damn near collapsed in
relief and self-ridicule.
.
:spray::rofl:
.
That's not the only li'l fella laughing at YOU this time.
.
Speaking of which... temporarily, this was my kneejerk physical reaction at the time.

11. Thanks for sharing that.
Now I've got that 'see, he did it, too' thing going for me. :)

I wouldn't think you were being mean. I posted that fully expecting to be laughed at. I got a kick out of it, why shouldn't everyone else?

I do thank you for saving me the trip to the doctor. One would think that in 50 years, I would have heard about this, or been able to put two and two together. :shrug:

12. I saved you from this embarassing scenario:
.
.
.
Your doctor's VERY FIRST QUESTION (sounding EXACTLY like Peter Graves talking
to Joey in "Airplane") -- "Pintobean, have you ever... ... ... ... eaten asparagus?"
.
.
.
:rofl:

20. Can I suggest you avoid beets?
For no other reason than to avoid a similar fright.

13. Where's the hollandaise sauce?
Asparagus REQUIRES hollandaise sauce.

19. I love asparagus
Edited on Fri Sep-02-11 05:25 PM by Riftaxe
and pride aside, considering that resurrections have been few, and the ones committed have been for far worse things, is it time to ask if it is only pride that is preventing the return of MFM?

Just because MFM never has written to my knowledge written a column in a newspaper, hardly makes his act of poor humor worse then what has been forgiven before on this board.

The moderators know the filth who was brought back that i am referring to.

21. Your pee won't stink but it'll be bright green.
Just like on St. Paddy's day after all that green beer.
