Alternate Blurting I: Wasteland

something i just learned

"Mad Hatter's disease was a physical disorder that affected the nervous system and was caused by inhaling toxic fumes from mercury nitrate, a chemical used in the felting process. As well as the damage caused to the lungs the fumes affected the brain which led to paralysis, loss of memory, mental derangement and eventual death.

"As tragic as this was hat workers did not get much sympathy and victims of the condition were mocked in the nineteenth century and treated as drunkards (although hat workers were notorious for quenching their thirst caused by the dust and fumes of their occupation).

"The term Mad as a Hatter was made famous by Lewis Carroll in his novel Alices Adventures in Wonderland which was published in 1865 a year after the Factory Act of 1864 was passed, which among other things, required proper ventilation in workshops. In the scene where the Hatter is being tried by the King, the King notices that the Hatter looks uneasy and anxious, and trembles so that he took both his shoes off Dont be nervous, said the King, or Ill have you executed on the spot! Carroll describes here the symptoms of a sufferer in the first stages of the disease."
 
i was enjoying it finally being just warm enough to justify opening up the windows and letting some fresh air in.

so of course the sky turned black and rain started falling.

stupid weather.
 
that last one sounds like a racist porno.

which pretty much guarantees that it's actually a thing.

i mean, slippery slopes was a fucking series back in the day. if you don't get that one then good job. just take joy in your ignorance and move on.
 
yay! new keyboard! just like my old keyboard only the top row number keys don't stick! hooray!

alright. that's enough of that.
 
hey, that's on you guys. i just spilled soda on the fucker. you guys should invest in socks or something.

weirdos.
 
feels like a pizza kinda night

I felt sorry for my Colorado peeps shoveling away the snow as I drove home with the windows down and the 73 degree air swirling thru the car.

they got hit, for sure! saw footage of the cars and lorries piled up and nose to tail stuck. must have been pretty nasty, with those winds especially.
 
a little pesto, no ham, a wing and a prayer... not made a cheese sauce based pizza before, so i played it by ear and it worked out prettttty good. *nods* caramalised the onions and cooked the andouille and frank slices first. green peppers went on raw as did the tiny tomato slices.
