Surfing the net at 2am does lead one to read random, yet undeniably amusing things.

A reader took exception to my saying that Spanish cookbooks are almost never worth buying, being written with the literary flair of an Ikea manual.

Why is it that Asian fruit is just so strange looking? This is called Rambutan from Southeast Asia. The outer skin is almost leathery and the spines are piable, plasticy. Maybe whoever invented velcro stumbled upon a basket of Rambutan.

I decided last month that our family should make a better effort to eat more seafood and less crap like deep fried nuggets of chicken fat. Not that I wasn’t trying to be healthy or anything, because that would be called a D-I-E-T, which is against my religion, culture, gender and overall cellular structure.

The truth is, the only burger that I ever order out is McDonald’s - mainly because my boys must. have. that. stupid. toy. Never mind that sometimes the inattentive cashier stuffs pinktutugirly toys in their Happy Meal, …as if she struggled determining the sex of 2 little crew-cut tots wearing highlighter green shirts with massive dump trucks emblazoned with the words "HAUL IT."
Clearly, she must have passed out from utter boredom during McD’s Happy Meal toy selection training.
But can you imagine the sheer delight of my boys when they discovered that instead of blue stupiduselessplasticjunk, they got the PINK stupiduselessplasticjunk!?!?

It was the weirdest thing we've ever seen. When the kids knew an answer to a question, they raised their hand. Why, I don't know. No one told them to do it, they just did. Borderline creepy, if you ask me.
Gazzy, the consummate troublemaker and voice-thrower extraordinaire, did an impression of their teacher that threw the kids for a total loop! Whatever page the students were asked to turn to in their books, he would repeat...and add 15. It was brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant!

FAQ-
Fan: Is Twilight autobiographical?
Author: No. Twilight is a work of fiction.

I think the last one's quite funny because people who have read Twilight know that it's a romance story centered around vampires and werewolves, but never mind. Poor people who haven't laid their hands on Twilight.

I want to write like those people.
