I don’t normally post about food and as asinine as this post is, I could not help but tell you all about the sandwich I just had. A delectable little number and one I shall not soon forget. As I told Gjuddy, “I’d have another if I didn’t fear a coronary. In fact, were the Good Lord to strike me dead this very night, after that sandwich, I would gladly move into the next life.”

A simple concoction of the most tender beef, thanks to my lovely partner, jalapeno yogurt dip, fresh tomato and swiss cheese, topped with the beef pan drippings – ergo, gravy.

My god, what a sandwich. To wit; The Best Sandwich I Have Ever Made. Well, that’s all I wanted to say. Love hard, eat well and may you be fortunate enough to recognize and follow your bliss.

11:32:41 AM BuCkSaTaN: So did you say you didn’t like the Wacom Bamboo tablet?

11:33:18 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: i said it’s a great mouse but not a very good drawing tablet

11:33:58 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: it especially sucks if you switch from an intous to the bamboo

11:34:28 AM BuCkSaTaN: I got one, I like it a lot. Good portable tablet.

11:34:44 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: okay.

11:35:05 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: what did you have before?

11:35:31 AM BuCkSaTaN: I have an Intuos 3

11:36:24 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: i guess we just use it differently

11:36:39 AM BuCkSaTaN: I guess… haha

11:36:55 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: i noticed a huge different in pressure sensitivity but that’s to be expected.

11:37:26 AM BuCkSaTaN: I just changed it in the prefs… they’re in system preferences.

11:37:33 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: ughh

11:37:47 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: that’s not what i’m talking about

11:39:52 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: maybe after a few years of painting digitally you will understand or not. depends on how you draw

11:40:28 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: when i speak about pressure sensitivity, it has nothing to do with the pressure slider in the prefs

11:44:04 AM BuCkSaTaN: I guess us lowly cartoonists know nothing about pressure sensitivity…. I will try harder to get better at this…I am new to the whole world, so… thanks for the tip!

11:45:54 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: relax…

11:46:20 AM BuCkSaTaN: I have so much to learn, oh seasoned professional…

11:46:36 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: i keep talking about the pressure points in the tablet and you keep mentioning the slider.

11:46:52 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: what do you want me too say?

11:47:19 AM BuCkSaTaN: Yes, I know… oh woe is me and my uninformed methods of getting my ideas onto this wretched box of wires and chips…

11:47:38 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: oh brother

11:48:27 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: the pressure in the tablet is EVERYTHING to me. it’s the difference between me breaking my monitor or not

11:49:04 AM BuCkSaTaN: I can only hope to learn from my mistakes and follow in the great shoes of Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy… My only hope is that I am able to reach beyond my meagre and underdeveloped talent to rise above my lowlt station. Thanks chum!

11:49:36 AM BuCkSaTaN: I will try harder to understand Obi Wan… thank you for your sage words and solid consumer advice.

11:49:51 AM Skippin’ Smilin’ Hat-Boy: jesus

4:48:10 PM BuCkSaTaN: Well, that makes more sense. I was thinking you were sitting around in a dark basement just eating olives.
4:48:35 PM Gjuddy McMudd: my daughter doesn’t think you’re very smart
4:48:48 PM BuCkSaTaN: She might want to go back and re-read the conversation.
4:48:58 PM Gjuddy McMudd: she might
4:49:07 PM BuCkSaTaN: Go eat some olives why don’t ya…

By “liking” a celebrity on Facebook these days, in many instances, you’re able to see into the semi-private world of your favorite celebrity. The thing that creeps me out more than anything are the fans that post comments as if they are pals – and perhaps some of them are, but honestly, with 283,746 comments on some of the more popular artists’ walls and photos, do you really think, if the celeb even updates their own Facebook that they’re going to read every one?  I have to admit, I’m a bit of a lurker; I cannot bring myself to comment on anything on a celebrity’s Facebook other than a quick “like” if I really like the post - and even then I feel creepy and unwashed. If you don’t know what I am talking about, I’ve left a an example here and may continue to post these when I see a particularly bone-headed response in a celebrity Facebook comments section.

Robert DeNiro and Anna Faris??

1:38:07 PM Billy: I went out to eat last night with the lady and it was an over explained affair. “We make our salmon using virgin juice from France, grown on the moon in a Chinese herb garden.”
1:38:42 PM Billy: Like come on man, it’s gonna taste like salmon with a bit of another flavour. That’s fucken it…
1:38:48 PM Billy: And that’s what it tasted like too.
1:41:45 PM Billy: “Our potatoes are encrusted with walnuts and rolled in oregano then hand tossed by a Mexican juggler in a wine sauce”; and it just tastes like herbs on potatoes
1:42:12 PM Billy: So what i realized they are actually saying is, “We didn’t just get this from a frozen bag. we actually added something so that’s why it’s 30x the price”.
2:01:46 PM BuCkSaTaN: Yeah, exactly… agreed. I also hate it when they “fancy up” chicken soup… Come on now, fuck “gourmet chicken soup”; all these frou frou spices and throwing in rice and celery and shit, just gimmie some broth, chicken and noodles, asshole. No wonder I go to the Thai noodle houses… they don’t fuck around.
2:02:10 PM BuCkSaTaN: Here – meat, broth and noodles. …and at a third of the cost of this other shit.
2:02:31 PM Billy: Yeah totally.
2:02:55 PM Billy: We went out to meet a couple she knows from a long time ago.
2:03:03 PM BuCkSaTaN: All went well?
2:03:06 PM Billy: We went to some fancy place they wanted to go to.
2:03:12 PM BuCkSaTaN: haha…
2:03:53 PM Billy: The food tasted fine, but I was starved and they guy went on about the way they prepare shit. I said “Hey man, can we just order cause i don’t care about how you treat the goats.
2:04:26 PM BuCkSaTaN: …using words like “drizzle” and “smother”…
2:04:28 PM Billy: He replied with “We get our goats from organic farms.” to which I said, “That’s swell, but I don’t want to meet the goat today, I’m really hungry.”
2:05:17 PM BuCkSaTaN: If I wanted to listen to you, instead of eat, I’ll watch the Food Network, pal.
2:05:18 PM Billy: Exactly.

A wee joke to make myself laugh.
