Daily Tidibit #22: How To Make A Turducken
Author: sinleeNov 23
Thanksgiving is upon us again and this year, I’m advocating for everyone to try something a little more adventurous than the traditional oven-roasted turkey. Introducing the latest in culinary creativity – the Turducken. A chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey. It’s pure genius, it’s pure wholesome poultry goodness.
Click here for the recipe and instructions.
This endeavor takes a fair while, so I’m just taking this opportunity to make this “daily tidbit” count for a couple days while I go visit some of my buddies down in SoCal. Unfortunately, I’m not making any Turducken for them.
Daily Tidbit #21: Read Fight Club (If You Haven’t)
Author: sinleeNov 22
“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.” – Tyler Durden
…I have to add that though there are great wars going on now, and there was a great depression (early signs of an economic comeback now, but who knows?), the last couple sentences still ring true. We’re raised to have such unachievable aspirations that we’ve come to believe that anything less than super-stardom devalues our lives. Is it really a wonder that medication for depression is on the rise? Of course, over-prescription is a factor, but we can’t rule out the possibility that the rampant disillusionment of whole populations is a sign of our times.
Also, if Chuck Palahniuk wrote Fight Club later (say, 2000′s) it would probably have been, “We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, and housewives with silicone in Armani dresses, but we won’t.”

Daily Tidbit #20: Wise Words of Wisdom From Someone Else’s Dad
Author: sinleeNov 19

Justin is a 29 year-old who lives with his 73 year-old dad. As with most dads, his dad exudes the wisdom of old sages – except that they’re so powerfully packed with sarcasm and humor that he’s got over 800,000 following his hilarious one-liners.
Some recent gems include:
- “Happy birthday, I didn’t get you a present…Oh, mom got you one? Well, that’s from me then too, unless it’s shitty.”
- “Son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn’t invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that.”
- “Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it.”
- “The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain’t like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain’t spitting it out.”

Daily Tidbit #19: Loud and Proud
Author: sinleeNov 19
And no, I’m not referring to the rainbow hues. We geeks need to display our love for our favorite pixellated on-screen targets. Just like this person did.
PS: I have Space Invaders ice-cube trays. In case you wanted to know.
Daily Tidbit #18: Wash Away All Sins
Author: sinleeNov 18
Wash away all sins with a soap dispenser guaranteed to pave your way to heaven with all its sudsy holiness. I suppose you could be a naughty rebel and fill it with hand lotion instead of soap, too.*Grin*
I wonder… if I used it, would I actually cease to exist? Washed away like the grime of society that I might be (or worse – am)? Looks like I need to buy this.
