Yo Yo Yo -- It's My 100th Post

That's right, bitches -- 100 posts! I had a whole Thing planned -- the Prosecco is chilling; the white peach purée is ready to go -- but it has been postponed until someone whose initials are Letitia Van Campen* is back in town to help celebrate.

Instead, since I am all about giving, I am going to give something away to a lucky commenter. If you are Encyclopedia Brown, you may have already figured out that I am giving away a jar of Somebody's Mother's Chocolate Sauce, pictured below. This stuff is so good it should be illegal. But while I'm still able to ship it across state lines, here's how you win: leave a comment on this post, and pick a number between one and one hundred. (Don't forget to blow smoke up my ass about how much you love my blog. That part is key.) Whoever picks the number closest to the number I've written down will be the lucky winner.

*Ha! Now a Google search for your name will always turn up my shitty blog.

    53!

    Speaking of which, you have heard of Wikipedia Brown, haven't you?

    And how many times can I submit a number? 100? :)

    Oh, right, the blowing smoke part of this. I look forward every day to reading what you write. Your example (and community) have prompted me to write more regularly for my blog. I enjoy hearing what Papi y los ninos are doing. In less than 2 months of blogging you've created an abecedary trend -- how cool is that?

    And have I mentioned how much I *need* chocolate?

    74!

    I definitely am a huge fan of "What Would Jane Austen Do?" and I also love chocolate sauce!

    Easy, 42.

    Am I right? If not, It doesn't really matter as I have ready access to the fridge and pantry, where I'm sure you will store the prize *laughs maniacly*

    I would also like to bring to your attention the following:
    1. I am, of course, a loyal and devoted reader whose day is regularly brightened by your blog.
    2. I would share the chocolate with you.
    3. I might be convinced to make brioche so that we could stuff it w/ ice cream and truly luxuriate in the chocolaty goodness.

    I suggest hiding the chocolate sauce in a. your car or b. my house. Matt's maniacal laugh worries me.

    This blog is much better than Cats. I'm going to read it again and again.

    Matt may have continuous access to your likely hiding places for the prize, but remember that I have a key and that E&B like me. Between those two things, I ought to be able to find out where it is and collect it. ;->

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.
