Little Tiny Fish: Thought Bubbles

A small, regularly updated deposit of entertainment, mindless twitter updates, and a sprinkling of un-crackable inside jokes. Nothing here is new or revolutionary, but it's a good way to waste a few minutes. See also: Little Tiny Fish.

“ [If] you realize you’ve written a scene that’s all about plot or something [you have to think,] “What is the most screwed-up angle I could take on this?” If you need a lawyer, stick a tinier lawyer out of his stomach. I’m sure that character started as just a classic Southern lawyer, and then we’re like, “How do we push this into super-science crazy-land?

McDonald’s buys product placement on Las Vegas morning news (via Slashfood) “…At Fox affiliate, KVVU, morning anchors now display plastic cups of McDonald’s iced coffee on the podium, where a station-branded coffee mug used to sit. They hardly ever touch these cups, and the printed-on labels are angled for best viewing. The station readily admits that it’s a sponsored promotion and defends the practice by saying that they cups don’t come out until they start airing the lighter morning news at 7 a.m.”

bullshit:Ante up!

I feel the same way that Pica does about posting so many muppet videos, but fuck me if this isn’t hilarious! I would seriously buy a DVD comp of all these things.

You know how no one really eats the crusts of a loaf of bread? I sure don’t. And just today, 3 days before my 26th birthday, I’ve realized that instead of lifting up the crust piece to get to proper slices everytime I go to eat bread, I could simply just throw away the crust when I open a new loaf. Never considered than an option before. Changes everything.

I never throw away the front-butt either. I’m perfectly fine throwing away both butts at the end, but I think I’d feel wasteful tossing the front-butt right when I open the bag. It’s really just denial: for the majority of the loaf, I can safely think, “I’m not wasting the butts. I might eat them.”

I find the butts often make the best toast. I wonder if/how the crust actually changes how it toasts. I still leave the ends of the loaf until the end to keep the next slice fresher though. I have no idea if this actually makes a difference and am only now questioning this practice.

I save the front to keep the next slice fresh as well. I don’t know if there is any scientific legitimacy either, but my brain sure thinks there is.
