It’s Random Factoid Friday!

  • I am torn by which of these two mother chores is most disgusting, being handed a used band-aid or a used tissue.
  • Giant goldfish are apparently taking over Lake Tahoe. Yeah, the world is ending, for sure this time.

  • I swear I saw a gym near my home called “Bangworthy”.   I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
  • Ronnie James Dio was a hobbit-like rock god. He stood only 5 feet 4 inches.

  • I once saw a well dressed man take a swig from a Ronnie James Dio sized bottle of vodka in the Costco parking lot. I totally understood why he did that once I entered Costco.
  • Raccoons are undoubtedly one of the most adorable animals, but let’s be real, they are total assholes.
  • Physical therapy has given me the gift of walking unaided, but I am still unable to be as active as I was before my surgery. It’s like winning the lottery, but only being able to spend $5 a day.
  • Necco wafers are the floppy disk of the candy world.

  • My review of Samuel Adams Beer’s Maple Pecan Porter got retweeted by @SamuelAdamsBeer over the weekend.

  1. Fish,
    Your Dio pic made think of Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny, and this exquisite scene:

    Le Clown

  2. “Necco wafers are the floppy disk of the candy world.”

    That’s truly tweet-worthy, too, Fish. But, I don’t think the Necco factory will be sending any retweet love your way for that spot-on factoid.

  3. I think the Pecan Maple Beer would compliment battered goldfish nicely. Love this post.

  4. I hope Samuel Adams plans on sending you some free beer…

  5. raccoons are pure evil –

  6. RIP, Dio. You know, he’s largely credited with the heavy metal hand gesture. It stems from the evil eye gesture that his Italian mother (or grandmother, I can’t remember which) used to make. And I’m with you on Necco wafers. I don’t see the point. Communion wafers are tastier than these things, and that’s saying something. But I like raccoons, even if they are assholes.

  7. Why was I not aware of this beer development? I must try that flavor! I agree that raccoons are total assholes. They run our neighborhood like a tiny, furry gang. And for me, the most disgusting is having to deal with my kids’ nose waste without a tissue–well that and finding random mysterious brown smears in and around the bathroom. Dang it, motherhood is disgusting sometimes!
