I saw Leotrix last night! I need everyone on high alert! And NO, this is NOT one of those things where I "see" Leotrix everywhere. I saw the real and true Leotrix. It ran right in front of my feet as I was leaving my building, like it was trying to show me that it wasn't afraid of all the rat poison lining the complex.
Guys. I HATE Leotrix. Twice up the barrel, once down the side.
In other news, THANK YOU so much for your support of Dean Bullock. Voting lasts for about one more week for his Ironman entry, and you can vote an unlimited amount of times. His story is so inspirational; you can see it and vote for him here. Thanks again. I love you Strangers as much as I hate Leotrix.
And now, your pictures and an insanely high number of distractions. Better just take the day off today.

Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:
How to get two pizza places to unknowingly prank call each other at the same time. Thanks, Matt.
Tumble-weaves. Thanks, Tracy.
Woman admits on forum to breast-feeding her cat. Thanks(?), Elizabeth.
Photo that perfectly captures middle child syndrome.
Conversations with a two-year-old, reenacted by grown men. Thanks, Angela.
Chart showing how many times Will Smith's family has saved the world. Thanks, Jimmy.
Cat tries to smuggle phones into a Russian prison (go Trixy!). Thanks, Angela
100 obnoxious teenagers kicked off of a plane.
This is a perfect example of many of the reasons that I hate animals. Thanks, Emily
~It Just Gets Stranger
Chicken skewers! How do you get to the finished product?! Please?
ReplyDeletePsst. For some reason this line has been going around in my head-> 'It just gets stranger presents Whiny Eli and Flaky Daniel'. Now it's Nerdy Eli. ;)
I just threw on a bunch of spices, baked them for about 30 minutes, and flipped them over half-way through that. They turned out really well. And the apple pieces were a nice touch throughout.
DeleteEli, ever since you posted about the obesity epidemic there and how nothing is really being done about it, the public health student in me wanted to tell you to consider holding a cooking class for residents. It might just be Daniel, and he might not listen, but I still think you should do it! Of course you should advertise this class with flyers so that more people come than Daniel. And maybe charge 50 cents or some minimal amount so attendees have some "skin in the game." (Since studies show people are more likely to place value on something they are paying for) Maybe you already know of a place with a kitchen and space for people to watch you cook? If you've found a way to make good healthy meals with the stuff found in stores, you should spread this wonderful knowledge to others there! And you should write about it after so we know how it went.
DeleteYou know, You always say that it's hot but you're always wearing jeans. Maybe shorts will help! :) Love your blog by the way!
ReplyDeletePlease stay in the jeans! Very decent.
DeleteI lived in Philly for 3 years. Took the youth to do baptisms in DC and one came off in the font...freaked out the missionary who was doing the baptisms. Sorry, I didn't get a photo!
ReplyDeleteI HATE "Twice up the barrel, once down the side"
ReplyDeleteBLASPHEME!
DeleteYou hate every possible thing at the same time?
DeleteI'm sure Eli is going to adjust what he writes on his blog from this comment, and this comment alone. Way to speak up and make a difference.
DeleteDo you and Daniel know about cooking chicken?
ReplyDeleteThe one of us who knows how to refrigerate hard-boiled eggs does.
DeleteI had seen the conversations with a two year old before, but I hadn't seen episode 2 until today. I think #2 might be even better than the first.
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON APPLES! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the cuttlefish may have dethroned the Queen of Colors.
ReplyDeleteReading the breastfed cat forum discussion just traumatized this mom-to-be. I think I hate cats more than you do.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think you lie to all of us and you don't really live in Palau but in Antarctica instead.
ReplyDeleteI knew my summer playing Vampire Wars on FB would come in handy one day. Voted and voting for Dean! Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteYou have lost SO much weight. Are you eating alright Eli?
ReplyDeleteThe comments on the cat breast feeding were just as weird as the post. EW!!!! There are weird people in this world. Speaking of which, I told my 22-year-old --BYU-Idaho-student-daughter-that-introduced-me-to your-blog that I was going to offer Eli-the-Snuggie-blogger one of my daughters. She just said, "Oh, Mom, you are so weird!" So I figured I was in good company tonight with all the other weird people on the internet.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone follow the link to the Oatmeal's mantis shrimp post? I'm never going swimming in the ocean ever again. No. It's not happening.
ReplyDeleteI've never felt more honored in my life that you used my breastfeeding story as a distraction. For that, I send you butterfly kisses.
ReplyDeletePost more photos of yourself please. Puberty last year treated you well, and you've slimmed down. You're seriously so attractive.
