Great Ribs!

A friend of mine sent me a gift of BBQ ribs from her favorite place, Montgomery Inn in Cincinnati.

Dag nab it, these are some GREAT ribs!

Juicy, meaty, no fat, tender. The sauce is wonderful, although you might want to add hot sauce. I like it mild, so it is perfect.

Do you like ribs? Do you wish you had some of these? If you do like ribs, where were the best ribs you've had?

The photo is from the Montgomery Inn site. You can order them and they send them to you packed in dry ice. Mmmmm....

Advertising Versus Reality

I stumbled on this website and found it very interesting. They photographed food packages, the ones that depict the food. They then removed the product from the package and photographed the actual food.

advertising vs reality

It's quite cool. There are some amazing discrepancies between the package picture and what you get in reality.

Diet Plan for Murderers that Works!

According to the AP:

Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail [in Arkansas]. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.

According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September. Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire.

"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint. "About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."


Unbelievable. This murderer is in jail and claims he is being "starved to death" because he has gone from 413 to 308. He should be thrilled he has finally found a diet plan that works for him.

Sneakers in Paris

Before I went to Paris I looked online to see what people in Paris were wearing. I don't mind others knowing I am a tourist (because I am) but I didn't want to stick out too badly.

One thing that every site said was that no one wears sneakers, and women wear heels. So I brought low-heeled boots, higher heeled shoes, and a pair of non-sneaker flats. I thought my feet were broken the first day, after walking all over Paris, over cobblestone streets, and through the Louvre.

Sneakers? They were everywhere. Whoever said that Parisian women wear strictly high heels has never been to Paris. A few women did have heels on, but they looked like they were going out somewhere at night. For daytime, women wear flats or sneakers. They aren't stupid. I mean really.

Of course, the sneakers were clean, and were more of the Chuck Taylor type than Nikes.

Oh, and they wear jeans too.

The photo is one I took of the Eiffel Tower. I don't know why it is rotated.

Thinking

It has come to my attention (from various friends who are tired of looking at stupid belly button tattoos..) that I haven't been posting much of anything.

I am sorry.

I was in Paris last week. That was freaking cool. I saw some majorly wonderful stuff. Here is an example. The dude is like totally thinking.

More Weird Belly Tattoos

I loved the disgusting cat tattoo so I found these others that utilize the belly button for art's sake. Well, so to speak.

Weird Tattoos

As I was looking around for a tattoo design that was tasteful and meaningful, I came across a few that were hilarious and/or horrific. Here are some of my top favorite awful tattoos.

Sent to me by my friend J (after hearing that I was looking for a cat tattoo), this one just hurt my eyes!











This guy had eyes tattooed on his eyelids. Er... I don't think so!









OK now this is kind of cute, but... maybe not!
