The zen of corn on the cob

[unixronin]

Comparative corn-eating styles:

• I start at the small end and eat kernels in a continuous spiral until I reach the large end.
• cymrullewes starts at the right end and eats in a row to the other end, then indexes à là typewriter and works in the other direction.
• Goose starts at the big end, eats a continuous ring with sort of rapid squirrel nibbles, then indexes over.
• Pirate just sort of attacks hers at random as she rotates it, leaving it looking as though it's been savaged by a ferocious chipmunk.
• Wen gives hers to Goose to eat.  :-)

I've never bought margarine. My mother used to buy the stuff, and I always thought it was nasty.

Ironically, New Scientist reported a couple of years ago that margarine, introduced as a healthier and less expensive alternative to butter, is actually more damaging to your health than butter is. It's all those hydrogenated oils.

Yeah, my dad went on some weird health kick in the seventies which involved margarine, decaf coffee, dehydrated onions and lots of bananas.

None of those things are good for us now. I wonder if he still swallows handfuls of vitamins and then feels safe to eat whatever crap crosses his plate.
