He asked where a store was and I pointed out a mall entrance and said "right there, turn left". Then I started thinking about how else I could have said it and came up with "Right ahead on the left", "right through that door and then left" and similar variations. I realize I could have said "turn left after going through the door" but it would have taken a conscious effort to word it that way. It's weird that right can mean the direction, correct, and that's not even getting into the moral implications.

Something I just realized MOST people don’t know: one of the little symbols you ignore on your packaged food items is telling you the kosher status of the food. For ex a little u in a circle on sabra hummus.

They need a subtler symbol for Halal food, racists in Australia regularly freak out because they think that Halal certification funds terrorism therefore buying any food with the Halal symbol means they're SHOVELLING MONEY INTO ISIS' EVIL POCKETSSSSSSSS!!11!!

The worst I ever got was "turn right after you've passed the intersection" three times until I stopped believing them because I'd driven around the island twice following their instructions. Turns out I should've turned right at the intersection and by no means driven past it.

e: I think their reasoning was that since I passed the sign, I had "passed the intersection" which is all sorts of :blastu::derp:

It's a large container of chips covered with cheese and kebab meat and whatever sauces you want (the correct choices are garlic and hot chilli). Add extra stuff if you want, I typically get olives and jalapenos.

Got to put it between the meat and chips so it melts!

And the one at the bottom filled a dinner plate and weighed about a kilo. Those styrofoam containers are deceptively deep.

If there's a Lebanese or Turkish takeaway place, bring them the pictures and they'll make you one. There's a Seattle goon I was speaking to about them who did this and they not only made him one, they put it on the menu after he went there with friends and they all ordered one.

I was listening to NIN's Head Like A Hole remixes from that remix album, and finally figured it out. That weird, sort of high pitched vocalizing? That's a clip fo David Bowie's voice. I swear it is. It's just layered or sped up so it blends together. Bowie's voice is fairly recognizable. How have I not noticed this before?

I came to a similar realization with Reflektor by the Arcade Fire. I just assumed Win Butler was trying to sound like Bowie.

Wasn't this meant to be an ad for Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza?

Edit:

"Earlier in 2002 we were hired by the largest advertising firm in the country to write music for a Pizza Hut commercial. Pizza Hut had hired them to come up with a whole new image to promote their new Pizza, "The Insider" which had all the cheese inside the crust. In keeping in line with their new cutting edge image, the agency hired Ween to do the music, and we delivered in a big way. Unfortunately, they didn't like a single piece of the 6 tunes we submitted and they had us rewriting the song every day for a couple of weeks before they hired someone else. In my opinion, it is one of the best tunes we wrote all last year."

It's a native American song, there are remixes that make it more clear

The thing about venomous snakes having triangular heads, it just dawned on me that their head shape is due to them being venomous. The extra space is where their venom glands are. Correlation is causation in this case.

Vipers specifically have triangular heads, for instance Coral snakes don't have that distinct triangle head shape.
