Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

After Phil Robertson, star of Duck Dynasty, said awful things about homosexual people (saying they're the same as terrorists and other such hate-filled things, see my post about it here), A&E rightfully kicked him off the show.

But now they've changed their minds.

They're going to let him back on the show because: “While Phil's comments made in the (GQ) interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the ‘coarse language’ he used and the misinterpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would ‘never incite or encourage hate.’"

"Coarse language" makes it sound like a 'damn' slipped out in front of small children. And he'd never incite or encourage hate? Isn't it just a bit too late to make that claim?

Sigh.

Also, since I'm posting, a totally unrelated topic. I got my latest Graze box!

salsa fresca: "tomato salsa fresca with cheesy sombreros" I really worried I wouldn't like this one, but once again I discover that I actually like salsa! Thanks, Graze, I found a new food I like!

cherries & berries: "cherries, lingonberries, cranberries and jumbo raisins". Not just a yummy mix of dried fruit, but it seemed like I got a lot more food in this packet than I get in most of the others. Overpacked by mistake?

banoffee pie: "fudge pieces, almond slices, pecan nuts and banana coins" Never heard of such a thing, apparently it's an English snack. The "fudge" pieces tasted more like butterscotch (maybe butterscotch fudge?). Surprisingly, it was too sweet for me -- a really rare thing.

fruit and seed flapjack: "rustic rolled oat flapjack with mixed seeds and dried fruits" The only one that I haven't tried yet. It's got these really big green seeds in it that scare me. Pumpkin seeds maybe? But those are usually white, right? I love flapjacks, but it has so many of those big green seeds in it...

Don't forget, you can click here to join Graze. $6 per box of four snacks, shipping included, first and fifth boxes free.

Edit: Bonus WTF. Esquire Magazine has named the Pope as the best dressed man of 2013. c.c

A gold star to anyone who can figure out what the heck is going on in this picture (totally work safe). Most of those are dummies. Why would you need them of cops? (So they can ride in the HOV lanes~?) It amuses me to picture them as Real Dolls instead; someone has a uniform fetish that is out of control!

Weekly cooking with tersa resumed tonight! Alas I got confirmation that I don't really like Indian food. At least I gave it a fair try though, which is more than I could have said in the past! And it was fun cooking it. :) My poor little white bread tongue couldn't take even the mild version we made.

Next weeks are going to rock! Meatloaf (yep, never had it before, let alone made it!), waffles and bacon (*homer drool*), and then tacos! Another thing I've ever had but want to try. The shells always seem like they'd make tacos fun to eat!

RP continues to be eeeeeeee. Only thing that's killing me is that the next few weeks months are going to be busy at work, so my RP time from there will be greatly reduced. D: (i no rite? QQ moar!) On one hand, I worry we'll run out of things to RP about and have to retire these characters. On the other, this is a fully original world and we made the PCs in a matter of minutes, so we should be able to do it again!

Yay weekend! So tired. So need to relax.

Oh, and I almost forgot I wanted to talk about WoW! OMG I'm so in love with... not having to play! Ha ha. It's so nice to be able to not log on! How silly of a thing is that to love? I have just three dailies I want to do (walrus people rep) and Dal cooking/fishing dailies. Maybe an hour of work. The last three nights I haven't logged on in the evenings! At all! And I don't have to feel bad about it! Best. Game. Ever. :P

EDIT: Added bonus WTF picture! Look at the image, then look at the URL printed on the image. NWS!
