The Princess and the (coco)Nut



Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess in a faraway town on the west coast of the USA. She was humble princess, a giving princess. She was loved by all.

One day this princess, whom we will call Ramie, was lazing about while looking through advertisements brought to her by an inconsequential servent paper boy. Suddenly, Princess Ramie arose from her comfy seat, overcome with shock and excitement over what was laid out before her on the page. It was a product like no other! It seemed that some magically inclined being had merged two snacks together, forming a hybrid known as the coconut M&M. What wizard had created such a masterpiece?

Princess Ramie knew she must have these coconut M&Ms at once and called up the all-knowing, all-seeing soothsayer Google of Mountain View to show her where they may be obtained. Sadly, Google of Mountain View told Princess Ramie:

"You ask for treats of coconut,
mixed with chocolate candy but,
this is no happy, tasty rhyme,
they only come at summertime!"

Princess Ramie was devestated, as were her ladies-in-waiting, Tannon and Siane. Court Food Critic Marrie was not fond of coconut, so continued to flit about with her plantain chips and Skittleth candies. *Side note: Marrie would eventually be found guilty of treason and banished from the court for 4 months. As part of her punishment, she would also have to take another screaming babe into her home. Muwahaha.*

One day, Princess Ramie was frolicking in her local apothecary when, what was this? Could it be? It was! The elusive coconut M&Ms had migrated back to the sea-faring town! Princess Ramie, being the generous and benevolent soul that she was, immeadiately ran back to Castle Fishbowlestshire and shared with Tannon and some random Court Jesters. She was willing to share with Siane, but she had given up chocolate for 30 days.

The End

Did you read the ingredients though? I believe there isn't actually any coconut in them...unlike cheetos, where this is cheese powder...

Pass the Metamuscil

Okay, so I admit, I've been slacking on blogging. But in my defense, Jamieland has been quite boring, what with the snow, no hippie roommate or excess money floating around to buy entertainment. Oooh, that totally sounded like I buy hookers, which I do not. Buy PC entertainment. That won't give me an STD. Or a baby. Anyways...so since the last blog I have had a birthday. I am now 27. Which doesn't sound too bad to most people, but if you ask a 27 year old how that sounds, it sounds less like "twenty-seven" and more like "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!". A few weeks before my birthday I made the mistake of watching a 1970s science fiction film called "Logan's Run". It was actually entertaining. A bit campy but the majority of films in the 70s had cheese oozing out of every pore, in my opinion. The plot of the movie was simple, and mimicked the book closesly. It takes place in a future time when Earth is so overpopulated that new regulations

Scrabble, Google and Aussies

So this isn't my story but it was so freakin funny I had to share. It made me laugh so hard I had to share Ryan's brilliance with everyone. P.S. he's not retarded, he's Australian... An aside note before we get right into the story: why are the words "negligence" and "negligee" so similar? One is a very sexy concept, and the other is not. Are they built off another word that they are both kind of related to? All these questions and more can possibly be answered by either the shorter , the longer , or perhaps even the much fucking longer Oxford English Dictionary. Man, I wish I had $3000 and a bookshelf. Luckily, five pounds and an arse pocket will suffice. Here's what the Collins Gem pocket-size Scrabble Dictionary had to say: NEGLIGEE: woman's lightweight, usu. lace-trimmed dressing gown. Hang on a second. Negligence is not in the Collins Gem pocket-size Scrabble Dictionary. That's surprising. I would be very surprised if I

Scary Stuff

I quite possibly just had a heart attack. After several weeks of slowly going through each box/bin/drawer/closet/cabinet in my house to declutterize, I am finally finished. I have a pile of boxes with items to take down to my parents house for their garage sale in the living room, along with some boxes I had emptied so broke them down and put them in the storage closet on my deck. A few even had bubble wrap in them, hooray! Like all Americans, I adore bubble wrap so it has really taken every ounce of will in my body to not sit there and pop it all. Today, I was putting the last of the "keep" bins back in the storage closet. I had to readjust my weight to push the tub up onto the shelf when suddenly there was a loud *Bang*, obviously the sound of a car backfiring. Even though I live in a pretty affluent area, that sound is very similar to a gunshot, so the natural instinct is to dive for cover. That, however, is not really an option when you are essentially holding a 20
