the new Ziggy Stardust

as the pup waits for blast-off her front leg is secured with a Fentanyl patch, a narcotic 100 times more potent that morphine.
the vet insisted that we put a plastic cone on her, to make her look more like Laika, and to prevent her from chewing the patch. “if that happens,” the vet said, “then you’ll have a dead dog.”
he must have liked the big goofy stare i gave him, because he followed that up with “and of course people have tried to chew on them too, in which case you’d have a dead person.”

au jus

did i miss something or when did meat start looking like DVDs? will the full color booklets explain exactly what the difference is between the photograph for Tyson’s Beef Brisket vs. the one for Tyson’s Pork Loin (is it just the addition of a single tomato) or why the Hormel Italian Style Beef Roast says “au jus?”

it looks kind of fake, the way it’s just sort of stuck on, but i’m sure it will suck the dollar out of your credit card just fine. now that the management has pointed out the need for ultra-sanitation-to-the-max, they want to charge money to achieve it. smacks of some kind of twisted yoga philosophy, not surprisingly. oh sacrilege!
