SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

Lard has 12% less fat than palmaid or other similar hair care products.

I found this in the archives:

In the first scenes of Star Wars, C3PO is actually sitting in some lard; during the cold Tunisian nights Anthony Daniels actually "pork-froze" in tub and had to be thawed out the next day under the hot Tunisian sun where he passed out from the fumes. It was later learned the fumes emanating from the Tunisian catering truck which was serving "Curried Fry-Up" for breakfast.

Marie Antoinette was actually misquoted about the whole "let them eat cake" thing and told the poor and destitute of France "Hey, we got some lard, you can spread it on baguette, it might not taste like butter, but it's the same shape!"

Late in 1944 the Allies drew up plans for a coordinated attack on the German city of Lardburg knowing the Nazi's were only weeks away from ham-bombing the entire east coast, but in a moment of Ovalteen induced silliness; the Americans rained down 3.5 million metric yards of "Victory Sausage" on Ho-Hocus New Jersey.

H.P. Lovecraft's classic novella "The Sweaty, Greasy Thing that Came to Swinemouth" was actually based on a reoccurring nightmare the author suffered where he was dipped in hot sauce and man-handled in "the cruel slather of mammal confection" by Fall River neighbor; Emril Lagasse. Lovecraft is later served with some tainted seafood and eaten by the Brockton, Massachusetts chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

eHip:
Riding on the coattails of the Oscar-happy Lord of the Rings, There's talk in Hollywood that perhaps the American public will now be more accepting of a film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's gut-busting, gastronomically hideous, prequel: "The Lard of the Rings". There's speculation that it will include subtitles, as it's likely that no dialogue will be discernable as the entire cast will have a mouthful of donuts at all times.

J3K:
And the pre-prequil; "The Slobbit"; starring Dennis Franz as Hobo-Changba Scumbaggins; who Tolkien describes as "Not as tall as a cats bottom, but thrice smelly be he." also starring Torr Johnson, Charo and the "Puppet-corpse" of Sir Alec Guinness

Next week:
Hollywood's mistrust of the loin cloth!
