These Two Dudes Have Mastered Their Katra

Sweden and McDonald's and IKEA

I recently came across several postings with a Swedish theme today. The first one is a series of weird Swedish McDonald's commercials.



The second is an itinerary on catching the IKEA ferry in New York to the new IKEA in Red Hook, Brooklyn and finding a local taco stand.

Joke of the Week

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist and the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff." T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?" The Government Employee called his cat and said, "Coffee Break... do your stuff."

Coffee Break jumped to his feet - ate the cookies... drank the milk... shit on the paper... screwed the other three cats... claimed he injured his back while doing so... filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions... put in for Workers Compensation... and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave!

KFC Original Recipe

So I'm chowing down on some KFC tonight and I wondered... What are the 11 herbs and spices in this chicken? Well here is the recipe:

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp celery salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp dry mustard
4 tbsp paprika
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground ginger
3 tbsp MSG (Accent)

Okay, salt, thyme, basil... WAIT... WTF??? When has MSG become an herb or spice????

So if I go to a Chinese restaurant, MSG is an herb or spice? That would change things completely. If you ever look at a North American menu, you'd find things like Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops, or Butter-Dill Poached Salmon. How about at a Chinese restaurant with this new found spice... Monosodium Glutamate Herbed Spareribs, MSG-Infused Shrimp Dumplings or Egg Drop Soup with Essence of MSG?

This is pathetic.
