I'm glad that there are people out there who are gagging just as hard as I am about R. Kelly's recent resurgence into popularity. I saw his album cover the other day, and who could have foreseen that a sex predator would have such a tacky, sexist album cover? Mysterious.
Have you ever watched the "Just the Tips" videos? I watched the "Swants" one last night and laugh-cried just a little bit . . . okay, I just watched it again, and it might be the sleep deprivation talking but I laugh-cried again, so maybe you should check it out.
Yesterday when I was doing my Costco shopping trip/worship service there was a guy demo-ing Vitamixes, and I ganked one of the samples--he had put raw spinach in it, the dumb dummy, but also a lime so: forgiven--and the guy asked me if I knew anybody with a Vitamix. I got a little bit confused and told him my sister-in-law has one (she actually has a Blendtec; it's Tipsy who has the Vitamix, but oh well), and he said "Well, you can't let your sister-in-law win this one!" Look, guy, first of all, I've apparently given you the wrong impression that I'm welcoming a deeper level of intimacy in this conversation by telling you about my family's appliances, and second, I don't like the intra-familial class warfare you're trying to incite here. My sister-in-law and I are just fine, and if she has more disposable income than I do that's just fine, too. I will not be baited like this, and encouraged to spend money I don't have on your fancy blending machine. I have a blender already, and it is sufficient for my needs. Although, a larger jar for the blender I have would not be amiss, if you're listening, Bosch people. (They are not listening. If they were they would have deep-sixed the indescribably hideous new design and gone back to the classic Bosch shape.)
I mean seriously. What a monstrosity. And what about that huge lip on the bowl so that when you put it in the dishwasher it collects a repulsive soup of food, detergent, and water? My mother-in-law has this new design because her old one got broken somehow, and I pity her every day. Call me shallow, but that design is ugly enough to keep me from buying a Bosch, no matter how durable it is. I'm so glad I bought mine fifteen years ago.

That is ugly indeed. It reminds me of the pot they keep hot wax in at the brow-waxing place. So appetizing.

OMG, now I am imagining the blender at a bikini waxing place.
