• Lots of lists for no particular reason.
• GrandMa I love you forever. This is the best post ever.
• Here's an idea: how about drinking the damn tea?
• I have clicked on nothing, and instantly love them all. You win!
• Why isn't the period after the first link also a link?! I feel robbed!
• See, I would made about 20 FPPs out of all that...
• These are real Grammalicious lists. My RL grandmothers would have loved them.
• Nice links, gramma.
• This is an outstanding, exceptional post, fit to lure the lurkers out of the woods. Thankyou GrandMa for ensuring that I will get little accomplished today. Happy Friday one and all.
• From the table salt list: 14. Soak your nuts in salt brine overnight and they will crack out of their shells whole. Just tap the end of the shell with a hammer to break it open easily.
• Perfect Friday post. Skrik, I think you just invented the list "16 uses for tea".
• Also, I can't believe the percentage of the 50 dumb thrill-seeking deaths that have video!
• OK, I;ve got a couple of nit picks for the "Sixty Uses For Table Salt" list, which is subtitled "Simple table salt has a great number of uses other than simply seasoning your food!" A dash of salt enhances the taste of tea. Salt improves the taste of cooking apples. A dash of salt improves the taste of coffee. A pinch of salt improves the flavor of cocoa. These uses for salt ARE simply seasoning your food. Granted, they're foods not traditionally associated with added salt, but still. Put a few grains of rice in your salt shaker for easier pouring. Add raw potatoes to stews and soups that are too salty. These aren't uses for salt; they're uses for rice and potatoes. Soak your nuts in salt brine overnight and they will crack out of their shells whole. Just tap the end of the shell with a hammer to break it open easily. This one is inculded simply for the unfortunate addition of "your" before "nuts." Was the double entendre intended, or did the author want to make sure we didn't go about soaking our neighbors' pistachios without permission? Still great links. I just enjoy a good midmorning nitpick with my second cup of coffee.
• Use #61 for table salt. Sprinkle salt on a bar coaster or napkin to prevent it from sticking to your glass when you lift it to take a drink.
• Hey GrandMa! Quit bogarting all the links!
• Let the used tea bags open and dry and then use them as stuffing for sachets to give perfume to them What?
• Yay GramMa! A couple more lists to add to your list... McSweeneys has a nice list of off the wall lists and Mr. Monkey's List of Famous Monkeys (warning - may include chimps and apes).
• I thought chimps WERE apes.
• I thought apes WERE monkeys! ..my entire life is a lie...
• McSweeneys.....?
• Doh!
• OK...I thought McSweeneys was the dumbest thing ever until I read this.
• Death number 13, while technically accurate, was neither dumb nor particularly thrill-seeking. Death number 25 is only thrill-seeking for a really broad definition of "thrill". Death 36 is just plain awesome. I guess I'll stop there.
• *GramMa blushes, bows Wow, thanks guys! Wot a buncha sweeties. And thanks to the folks that added links to the links post. Now I have some fun time wasters for this evening. If I had known you guys were that hungry for a new post, I'd have added pancakes and sausages*, too. Why isn't the period after the first link also a link?! I feel robbed! posted by homunculus Because then it would have been thirteen, and because I didn't think of it, but it would have been fun to do, dang it! So anyway, here's an extra list just for you, Hommy. And TUM and Dirigie, you whiners just for you, here's the Official Whiners Official List of Official Stuff *sausages, get it? SAUSAGES! You know **LINKS!** *cracks up, is hauled off stage
• This post reminds me of a Cosmo cover.
• GrandMa, you appear to be listing to port. (And a fine bottle of port it is.)
• TPM FTW
