this really is the way i think

.
searching old emails to v for something specific tonight--don't find it, but i do come across this from a couple years back:

so i'm watchin leno and he has this segment called "you make the call" in which an audience member must decide whether the onstage talent can actually follow through on whatever dumbass thing they say they can do. and the blender guy comes out--you know, that strange guy from the infomercial pushing the uber-blender that can do anything. and the challenge is: can the blender demolish a wooden rake handle in less than 15 seconds? audience member says yes, but i'm thinking no goddam way, it's only a fucking blender--but sure as shit, guy feeds the rake handle into the blender and it makes mincemeat of the motherfucker in, like, 8 seconds--unbelievable. so while the audience is applauding wildly, i'm like, note to self: woodchipper ain't handy, this is the next best way to get rid of a body.

i have since acquired one of those blenders--makes a hell of a smoothie.
