a post dedicated to “whimsy” (or, Tuesdays with Lophophora williamsii)

In the airy forest green, a marshmallow boy sits alone beside a cool brook sipping hot cocoa from a cup made of crystalized sugar—his tiny marshmallow feet washed over by the gentle caress of liquid caramel.

The sight makes me weep. 

—Which, of course, doesn’t keep me from eating the little fucker.  But it sure makes for an idyllic memory, once properly edited.

    Oh. My. God.

    Seems I ain’t the only one hitting the mescaline

    Dude. You didn’t address my point about the SEA LIONS!

    liquid caramel?

    I think not… Google It!

    If Mescalito should ever cross your path, it won’t be pretty.

  6. Jeff Goldstein says:

    On a white horse name of Mescalito??

    Panama Red flashbacks abounding.  Must hold onto desktop wooden armadillo for stability.

    Mescaline?

    I thought it was classic Lucy in the sky with Diamonds.

    it sure makes for an idyllic memory, once properly edited.

    For editing, I suggest Elton John Aerosmith the Beatles.

    Liquid caramel isn’t cool, it’s solid!!  EXPOSED!!  TRUTH TO POWER!!

    Sorry, I’ll take the tinfoil hat off, now.  wink

    Was it a NINJA marshmallow boy? Those guys are the worst. You can’t even SEE them and -poof!- the hot chocolate gets too sweet.

    Bastards.

    Sounds like Milton Hershey’s wet dream.

    Go ahead big guy, let it all out.

    It’s good for you.

    And the cup isn’t melting from the cocoa?

    That cup may look like it’s made of sugar, but I’m betting it’s styrofoam. From a bad batch.

  14. Dan Collins says:

    McGehee–It’s Jeff’s hallucination.  I say you let him hallucinate any way he wants.  Meanwhile, I could use a hand at the 429 site in the comments; these guys are wacked!

    Marshmallow boys taste nice, but squeak disagreeably when bitten. I prefer the almond-fondant fish; one places one’s arm in the water and stays quiet, and they come to investigate… flip! and they land flopping on the coarse-sugar beach by the nonpareil bushes, which shatter and drop redyellowbluegreensilver bits that crunch when one bites the fishes’ heads off.

    The nougat bears taught me that trick. When we have half a dozen fish sparkling on the beach we laugh and laugh and laugh…

    Regards,

    Ric

    The nougat bears

    Careful Ric, remember what they did to that researcher in Alaska…

  17. Ric Locke says:

    Nononono, Major, the nougat bears are fine fellows. They don’t eat people at all; strict sugartarians, they are.

    It’s the gummis you have to watch out for. Turn on you in a heartbeat, they will. And if you let them out of the bag they form ranks and start singing the Horst Wessel Leid ::shiver:: Stay far away, is my advice.

    Regards,

    Ric

    Truly some wonderfully sweet , sweet crazy at 429 .

    Dancompoop …. heh …that had to sting .

  20. Dan Collins says:

    Nothing that a bit of dulcolax won’t take care of, Bill.

  21. furriskey says:

    In my naif way, I hope that only two of the posters at 429 are serious.

    Excluding Dan, obviously.

    Jeeeeesus, guys. I went over there, and the first thing I thought of was the WWII-era cartoon with Daffy Duck whacking a bomb with a mallet to test it… It’s an interesting experiment. But isn’t it a bit like testing your rocket truck at 5:15 PM on the 405?

    Regards,

    Don’t, for the love of God, let Rosie O’Donnell read this post; the chain orgasms that would follow would make the pig squealing scene from Deliverance pale in comparison.

  24. Bill D. Cat says:

    I keep getting the “ your comments are in moderation “ message . I’m gonna be pissed if my “ Ed Asner did it “ line got killed .

  25. furriskey says:

    Ah. My contribution is ‘awaiting moderation’ too, although in all conscience it was fairly moderate.

    I can see mine but I can’t see your Ed Asner.

    Coincidence?

    I think not…

  26. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I’m not moderating anything.  The software, however, sometimes shows a mind of its own.

    On an unrelated note, I just re-read this post after using some Bowmore Mariner to come down, and I actually giggled.  For no reason that I can pinpoint, either.

    Could be the sybian.

  27. Bill D. Cat says:

    I can see mine but I can’t see your Ed Asner.

    Pricks are sitting on my “ The Manatee “ blast as well … F’in truthers ..

  28. furriskey says:

    Well, switching to Bowmore is moderation of a sort.

  29. CraigC says:

    Could be the sybian.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  30. CraigC says:

    I wonder what Michele’s favorite source of protein is….

    Just stay away from the thermites.  I understand they’re impregnating everything in sight.

  32. Carin says:

    You mean, those guys are serious over there? I thought it was a big put-on.

  33. Mikey NTH says:

    I’m confused.  Is that 4/29 Truth site real or is it an elaborate joke?

  34. mojo says:

    I’ve got a ‘ole in me pocket…

    SB: progress99

    kinda like ‘anarchy99’ but, y’know, progressive

  35. I always miss the good ones. 

    I LOL’d

    Go to the first post and click on the link for “It is impossible for fire to melt steel.”

    TW: There‘s your answer.

  37. Bill D. Cat says:

    They finally posted all of the comments . WOW !

  38. McGehee says:

    Meanwhile, I could use a hand at the 429 site in the comments

    The last time I let somebody rope me into a flame war, the topic was drug legalization. One of the proponents gave forth at me with how he needs whatever the hell he was mainlining because otherwise he has psychotic episodes.

    So I replied, “I don’t know what you;re complaining about, then. Ritalin is already legal.”

    I think the server melted down, and I vowed, “Never again.”

    If I want that kind of entertainment, I’ll hunt sparrows with an RPG.

    Way more sporting using thermite impregnated cigarette butts .
