5/2/02 - Ocean Spray Ruby Red



Those nutty Wilpons have a hand in this kids camp project. Trying to come up with baseball theme to make it sound cool for the kids. Apparently nobody thought of "MVP"s, so I threw that out there. I guess I'll think of some more baseball terms that would make sense with this.





We shall see about my resolve. We shall see.

5/3/02 - Samantha classics Carrot Orange fruit drink





Apparently there was an exhibitor screening of EP2 at Ziegfeld Theater a couple nights ago. The posted reviews of the film have been very positive. I'll admit I was skeptical about how good the film will be, but now I'm a bit more optimistic.

5/4/02 - Tree Ripe Orange Juice



Truths:

Shannon "UncleSally" O'Neill doing a free-form rap about Osama Bin Laden over the beat for LL Cool J's "Momma Said Knock You Out" in a packed karaoke bar sure is something to see.

James Eason does a "great" magic trick with a coffee cup and saucer.

Peanuts was a wonderful cartoon. Especially the early ones.

Grilled lamb makes for a tasty lunch.

5/5/02 - Samantha smoothies Berries Gone Berserk




Was going to go see the Spiderman film, but it was sold out. (A recent running gag, probably cribbed from some other person, is to pronounce it "Spidermin", as if he was a Jewish dentist. "Dr. Harvey Spiderman, DDS", perhaps.) So, instead, on this sunny day in Brooklyn, I enjoyed some air out on the Promenade, which is about a block away from home. Some nice views of Manhattan from here.





So many dogs out and about!

text on the bottle: Barry screamed for his berries..."I need my berries to hop on that caboose called sanity."

New Woody Allen film = mediocre.

5/6/02 - Veryfine Fruit Punch



The parent company of "Veryfine" juice drinks used to be "New England Apple Products, Inc." They changed their name to "Veryfine" a few years back.



Woody Allen ain't directing Spidey 2. (Although that would be very interesting.)



Sony doesn't make anything food related. No ToastMan machines. No JumboShrimpTrons.



A very important discussion of Jewish Robotics was edited out of a post in the Woody vs. Kubrick thread. If I could remember what it said, I would tell you.

Everybody likes to revise history...to bend reality, it seems.

5/7/02 - Addendum ("meat of the day" special edition)



Went to dinner with a group of folks to Churrascaria Plataforma, a Brazilian Rodizio Steakhouse. Had some wine, as you can see.





The specialty of this place? Meat, meat, and more meat. Described as "like living in Valhalla" by Bergeron. Certainly a birthday meal to be remembered. After we all woke up from our meat comas, of course.

5/8/02 - Prologue to today's entry


An interaction with the always acerbic Mr Caustic:

Mr Caustic: your arteries must hate you today...
Mr Caustic: to say nothing of your colon
Mr Caustic: (You are the J. Geils Band to her Rolling Stones -- ca. 1982)
TerrySeal: I've had them removed
Mr Caustic: oh stop. You never had arteries because, as we all know, no
blood flows through the undead Terry Jinn
Mr Caustic: although removing your colon was bold
TerrySeal: a masterstroke
Mr Caustic: I have this weird urge to ride my bicycle with fat-bottomed
girls . . .
Mr Caustic: I've got to take off this Queen CD
TerrySeal: Mr Caustic...makes this rockin' world go round
Mr Caustic: He just wants somebody to love...
Mr Caustic: stunned by the show of emotion, birthday boy??
TerrySeal: eh...indifferent
Mr Caustic: too full of intestine-clogging meat to care?
TerrySeal: perhaps!
Mr Caustic: full of wine and meat (and possibly testosterone) did you pick a
fight?
Mr Caustic: . . .
Mr Caustic: ....
TerrySeal: no fights
TerrySeal: just food
Mr Caustic: (I use the ellipsis to denote time passing)
Mr Caustic: you fought with your food? I know your colon is fighting with
it right now
TerrySeal: i got no colon, remember Caustic?
Mr Caustic: in a day or so, everyone at your party will take a dump that
will rip them in half
Mr Caustic: yeah, yeah. . . I considered opting for past tense but we all
know you got colon
TerrySeal: it will be solid protein
Mr Caustic: you have an enourmous colon
TerrySeal: 53"
Mr Caustic: a colon that is, right this very minute, being tested to its
limits
Mr Caustic: you're an old man, you need to be kinder to your body
Mr Caustic: stop abusing yourself
Mr Caustic: in more ways than one!
Mr Caustic: take THAT, birthday boy
TerrySeal: I will either get abused by me...or abused by you, Caustic!
Mr Caustic: abuse? moi?
Mr Caustic: where I come from, it's called TRUTH!!
TerrySeal: where do you come from?
Mr Caustic: I'm from Everywhere, USA, birthday boy
TerrySeal: not Truthberg?
Mr Caustic: why won't gnutella log me on so's I can download some hardcore J. Geils Band??
Mr Caustic: Honestyville . . .
Mr Caustic: South Honestyville, actually
Mr Caustic: it's near the airport
Mr Caustic: it has a sign on the hill that says:
SOUTH HONESTYVILLE
THE INDUSTRIAL CITY
Mr Caustic: which is stupid, because So. H. hasn't been industrial-based
since '54
TerrySeal: South Honestyville Corp. Limit
TerrySeal: Lion's Club, Kiwanis, and 4-H welcome you to S. Honestyville!
Mr Caustic: they manufacture the latex for surgical gloves, condoms, and
other marital aids
Mr Caustic: just the latex, in bulk
Mr Caustic: they could've made the actual products....it would've created
jobs and boosted the economy
TerrySeal: an honest wage for a south honest job
Mr Caustic: but the civic leaders, in their myopia, said NO
Mr Caustic: now the town is all about retail...
Mr Caustic: there's an "easter egg" in Sim City that allows you to play
Honestyville
Mr Caustic: it's the worst sim ever
Mr Caustic: there's no way to win, and when the game is over, the
application sends horrible emails to all your friends
TerrySeal: i think South Honestyville lies about its population count
Mr Caustic: vile, curse-filled, insulting emails
Mr Caustic: South Honestyville Population ONE (me)
Mr Caustic: I'm the only one who still lives within the city limits proper
Mr Caustic: the ever-shrinking city limits
TerrySeal: I hear the schools are good, though
Mr Caustic: our charter keeps being revised
TerrySeal: and that there are 3 Starbucks
Mr Caustic: the skools are goot
Mr Caustic: they're thinking about putting in a B&N too
TerrySeal: B&N Express...only condensed books
Mr Caustic: I just read that Starbucks has more stores here than Duane Reade does
Mr Caustic: and DR has been in NYC for almost a hundred years!
Mr Caustic: additionally, Starbucks puts up so many stores 'cuz they know
that NY'ers won't cross the street for coffee...
TerrySeal: yeah, but people would rather drink coffee than shampoo and
nyquil
Mr Caustic: If NY'ers would learn to cross the street, we'd have fewer
Starbucks

5/9/02 - Snapple Rasberry Peach



I would think most Snapple beverages fall under the catagory of "junk juice", as noted in the CNN article (from yesterday's entry.) They frequently have 10% or less actual juice in them.



Ben Gruber sounds like a Yoda-esque master of the beverage arts.

Snapple "Real Fact" #11: Flamingos turn pink from eating shrimp.

Speaking of "junk juice"...

5/10/02 - Diet Coke



To celebrate three employee birthdays this week, the company supplied free lunch for everyone.



One of the organizers asked what kind of cake to get...and I mentioned a fondness for strawberry shortcake. I tried to play it cool, like I didn't really care, but when it came I was happy that my desire for this particular cake was fulfilled. I got my own "T" labeled cake. That cookie-like disc on top is apparently not edible, which is strange. Someone without a keen sense of what is edible or not could get hurt.



This damn birthday has been dragged out, hasn't it.





I know. But who am I to deny free lunch and cake? Would you be strong enough to refuse, Amy Rhodes?



Is this stuff out yet?



I do what I am programmed to do.

5/11/02 - Dr. Pepper



A great time was had at Eli & Jessica's soccer party in Prospect Park. Soccer was crazy, good fun. I got the chance to wear my Chelsea Football Club (of England) official soccer jersey. I think the team I was on won, but I'm not quite sure. I pulled a few different muscles and various types of connective tissue in my legs.



Meat!

5/12/02 - Tropicana Twister Kiwi Grape Combustion



Eli sits across the table, satisfied, after a quesadilla from Desert Moon Mexican Cuisine (kind of a cross between Burritoville and Taco Bell.)

I'm not sure about why...but these Kiwi flavored drinks all have some things in common:

1) a ridiculous name (Kiwi Combustion, Kiwi Ruckus, etc.)

2) an incredibly unnatural green color

3) an intense candy-like flavor (like a liquid Jolly Rancher)

This beverage had what Tropiciana calls "FruitForce™ Energy Releasing B Vitamins!", which really is just a marketing term for 10% added Niacin and Pantothanic Acid.



Tonight's foggy air and the street lamp gave my neighborhood a nice eerie glow.

Sent to me by Mr Caustic.

(Should this be any surprise?)

It says we should spend as much time together as possible. For some reason, I don't think that will help things.

5/15/02 - Cranberry Juice [from Mayrose Diner]



Lunch with Crystal. She decided to have the vanilla milkshake, but I didn't get one, as I made myself one last night. (I received a hand blender as a gift a couple years back, forgot about it, and never used it until this week. I've gone a little milkshake crazy recently.)



Got the check and strangely...a weird message was by the listing for my turkey burger. Is someone trying to tell me something? If so, I dunno what "well well !!!!" means!



How is this possible, Doug Moe? If you drank the beverage...what did I drink?



That's your journalistic responsibility, Calhoun...not mine!

Mr Caustic: a-hole.
TerrySeal: what file?
Mr Caustic: dunno
TerrySeal: all that info is in the folder 'Documents' on your main harddrive level
TerrySeal: inside should be a folder called 'Microsoft User Files' or something similar
Mr Caustic: hmm...lemme look.
TerrySeal: inside that is a folder 'Identities'...and 'main identity' should be all the right stuff
Mr Caustic: you'd better be right, Jinn . . . otherwise the little girl GETS IT.
Mr Caustic: (I'm currently listening to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" and it's putting me in the mood for MAYHEM!!!)
TerrySeal: Mr Kaustic: i am not angry
TerrySeal: ha
Mr Caustic: feeble pretenders to the mantle of Caustic!
Mr Caustic: you were right about the identities file, Jinn. The girl lives to see tomorrow.
