LisaNova is a YouTube sensation. I just recently found out about her, but I've known her for a long time. I actually went to elementary school with her and then middle school and high school back in NY. Funny stuff. She kills it.

Stick a fork in the old man.

One of the funniest, smartest and crankiest motherfuckers died yesterday. No fucking chance in hell he's in Heaven though. I doubt he'd want people to be sad. He'd probably want people to have a drink and punch someone who pissed you off in the face. Sounds good to me.

McCain wins!

It was going to happen sooner or later, eh?

There's a shot at some of the goodies Scott and Marisa cooked up. On the ingredient list for the 3 salads: bananas, scallions, mandarin oranges, apples, pears, pineapples, peanuts, coconut milk, limes, apple cider vinegar, barley, avocados, butter lettuce, orange juice…

There's Scott mixing up salad #1. A salad with lettuce, barley as main ingredients. Notice Marisa keeping a watchful eye on Scott. He's not to be trusted alone in the kitchen. He managed to turn on the Star Trek-like stove top by accident. Nothing burned down.

It was a big occasion and there were 2 cameras shooting the fun. The regular cameragirl and Reed Gustow. I'm not 100% sure if both shots are for the final product.

Marisa ripping up some of the butter lettuce for salad #2. She handed off the lettuce ripping duties to Scott soon enough so she could get started on the dressing and other non-Scott food preparation duties.

Marisa showing a trick to de-coring an avocado. The trick appeared in one of the ForkYou episodes, I can't remember which one. What you do is, cut the avocado in half along the pit and then cutting into the pit with your knife. While the knife is in the pit, turn the avocado and the pit will come loose with the knife. Neat trick.

Turning the height tables on Marisa for a sec, Scott takes a knee and experiences the world from the relative perspective of Marisa. Scott's always good for a laugh (or ten).

After all three salads were finished, the shoot was wrapped and everyone gave everyone a round of applause after the hour or so of chopping, mixing and dressing.

The line of people waiting to take a taste of each of the salads.

And here's Marisa putting together a helping of salad for me.

All the salads were tasty, but my favorite was the one with the pears, apples and pineapples with a topping of peanuts and a dressing of coconut milk, shredded coconut and lime juice. It was so good that we went to the store to grab the ingredients to recreate it and had it as a dessert salad last night with out dinner. I can't wait to see the edited video. And when it's up, watch it. I'm sure they'll be posting the video and recipes soon.

I've been a fan of Chuck Facts since it went on the internets [sic] some time ago. Maybe you had to have grown up with Norris and the Delta Force movies to truly appreciate the awesomeness of all this. Just a sample from the Chuck Facts archives:
Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice.
Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail, his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather, roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.

"My message was that we believe strongly in elections, and that you ought to have elections soon, and you need to take off your uniform," Mr. Bush said he told Mr. Musharraf. "You can't be the president and the head of the military at the same time."

Well, technically Dubya is the president of the United States and, according to Article II Section 2 of the Constitution, the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces.

Am I expecting too much to think that this guy knows what he's in that fan-cay office for? Also, Musharraf stopped wearing his green brown army fatigues several years ago in favor of western suits. That's him at left on The Daily Show a couple months ago. And that's Dubya at right in his flyboy outfit. Just sayin'.

The elections, that's another story.
