Title: What did you get for Christmas
Post by: cashmir sweaters on December 25, 2016, 04:00:49 am
I got a portable charger I can jump start a car/charge my phone/use as a flashlight. I'm not sure but charging my laptop off it might be possible as well.

I also got a pound of chocolate truffles, a bunch of nice bookmarks, and alcohol. Also this:

Nail Quarry is a dinosaur quarry at Como Bluff that I've volunteered at in the past. It was given to me by my dad's friend who goes there every year. The dinosaurs that are dug up there go to the Tate Geological Museum (http://www.caspercollege.edu/tate-geological-museum).

Big Money Salvia (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1869302/SecretMessage.ogg), a bunch of candy and my favorite present - a care bears hoodie with this design.

Everybody just buys me a variety of books, and I'm more than happy with that. The two I'm most excited for are Marc Lamont Hill's Nobody, and Thomas Friedman's Thank You for Being Late.

I got a fucking bomb ass lightbox, a teapot, a new wallet, and A MOTHERFUCKING MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS TOPPER. Slept on it last night, and it turned my shitty 10 year old mattress into a heavenly delight of sleepiness. I woke up without hip or back pain.

Okay, no one else is going to ask - what the hell do you do with a huge taro root? It can't taste good when its that large, kinda like zucchini. Is it a curiosity cabinet thing, or a pet, slice it thin to read futures, or bludgeon? I'm not knocking its existence, but what is next.

It is both a blessing and a burden, and it has been placed upon me. It is resting comfortably in the living room for now.

IT'S GONNA BE FINE. I've never cooked with it myself, but I'm gonna make as much stuff as I can.

Sadly, I can not yet take its full girth.

Giant vegetables don't need a purpose, they just need to exist.  Giant vegetable competitions are the high point of every state fair that has them, this is an undisputed truth. 

Taro root would be a catastrophic candidate for butt stuff, I don't know many food things but I'm pretty sure the calcium oxalate would seep through the peel and erode your butt lining into a distant memory.

There's no way to soften the blow. It's dead. Turned to mush. A giant turd. I feel terrible.
