Reddi-Wip is everything that was good and bad about my childhood aerosolized. Cool-Whip will do in a pinch. I suppose you could chase either with Black Jack. Speaking of guilty pleasures, Jon Stewart may indeed be a sexist, but I’d dearly love to teach him the nine thousand names of God because I can’t help my bad self.

Ooooh! But it WAS Reddi-wip about which I was thinking! they had the funniest ad a number of years ago: it was a picture of a piece of strawberry shortcake completely buried in a huge mountain of whipped cream (excuse me: Reddi-Wip), and, in small print in the lower corner, it said “serving suggestion.” No other commentary.

Here’s why we need white boys to finally get it and then get the truth out there: “When women talk, here’s what men hear, “Blah, blah, blah, blah BEER, blah, blah, blah, blah, FOOD, blah, blah, blah, blah SEX.” (Dennis Leary)

Cool Whip may have an H, but Reddi-Wip does not. Perhaps, brain muddled by the delightful puff of nitrous oxide that awaits the user when the foamy cream is expended, you confused the two. No, wait. That was me.

I think I kind of get what everyone is saying here, and I think everyone is making good points. Some issues I think that cause the arguments here are that we don’t always know each other’s reference frames, and nobody wants to type their entire history in line with what really are visceral and immediate responses.

Keith Olbermann is certainly a good speaker and I like what he has to say, but it is you, Twisty Faster, who made me reach for my smelling salts, as this post made me so giddily dizzy.

Seriously, you have an NPR name-check, two theme songs of the 70s, Cochran and Auden, plus I don’t know how many beautifully restrung metaphors, all in the first paragraph, and all apparently effortlessly dropped in there just to keep yourself amused.

I am, as usual, in awe.

Now that I have been corrected and now know where every good idea truly originated and once again am reminded of what its like to “share” “sides” (directions?) with the righteous ( I so remember the pure marxists sectsists of the moral high ground of my sixties)I guess IÂ´ll just go fuck myself and continue with the whip and daniels because sometimes change isnÂ´t really change, just a new boss.
Maybe if IÂ´m drunk enough and wear a tinfoil hat IÂ´ll stop the mystical osmosis that causes me to steal all of my thought from Rita my neighbour down the hall.
And sometimes IÂ´m pretty godamn bitter to that no one has listened to me either.
