I'm currently staying with my bud, Daltrey who is from Amaknak Island, AK (dude, that's where everyone is a crab fishermen and everything is totally hardcore kick ass) although last night when I asked the Alaskan native to tell me about Dutch Harbor, this is what she said (verbatim..I have it on tape):
"Amak is a mythical land that appears from a phantasmagoric mist every 200 years to reveal a charming village full of endearing simple folk who love to skip and sing and do piroettes in the street...oh no, wait. That's fuckin' Brigadoon. Amak is just damn cold and full of fish."
I'm just impressed she knew a word like phantasmagoric!
It's Shark Week! It's Shark Week! YAY!!!! Come on, isn't anyone else totally psyched that it's Shark Week? I realized this evenign as I watch shark week that the announcer guy on that show can say just about anything in that serious voice of his and I'll think he's talking about the most deadly thing ever.
Here's a test...do your best impersonation of the Mike Rowe voice (he does dirty jobs and deadliest catch -- you know, typical macho serious danger announcer guy voice) In that voice, read the following statement:
for the best blueberry muffins, preheat your oven to 375 degrees, then in a large bowl, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Fold in milk and fresh, ripe blueberries. Fill muffin cups and be sure to sprinkle some extra sugar on top for a touch of extra sweetness.
Come on now, Mike Rowe can make that muffing baking stuff look downright deadly. You'll be afraid to handle the blueberries after Mike Rowe is done with them!
Okay, I forgot what I was originally talking about.
