Yes, this is a blog. (sorry)
salt on watermelon is weird, but I’ve seen it before. so is pepper on melon, fries in mayo and all sorts of other stuff. But it’s all okay,

I found the surf report while googling the diet aid, Alli. A friend kept saying she was going to try it and I said I’d heard you couldn’t be too far from a toilet. anyway, I found Jeff’s blog about the side effects (crapping yerself) http://thewvsr.com/alli.htm and that led to the beefaroni story and I stayed for hours, laughing loudly until I felt wasted.

Remember when the Kays went to England and the comment count went up to- what was it? – in the 500s? something like that?

@ jason – I, too, stumbled across “The Mountain” and never knew about the “blog” for probably a year, maybe 2.

I checked it weekly for a long time for a dose of oddness.

Interestingly, when I DID start reading the words under the eggplant, I did NOT discover it from the mountain link, I found it from some chick’s site. I don’t remember the link, but it was from a site where some single New York chick was chronicling her meager existence. Stories about being laid off, no electricity in her apartment, encounters with bums…etc. I think she even described hooking up with a random stranger on the subway.

She always posted gourmet recipes and talked about food, but I never got the impression that she ever had any money for anything other than ramen noodles. I *think* her site shared many of Jeff’s readers in the early 2000′s. Anybody know who I’m talking about?

I read the two sites, side by side for a long time before I made the connection.

Jeff’s going to love this one:

Fries dipped in a mixture of Mayo, Ketchup, and
Tabasco.

Also:

Salt on watermelon / canteloupe – some parts of Texas I get looks like I’m salting a turd, others it’s perfectly fine.

A dab of sour cream mixed in with my mac and cheese.

Salted / Sugared – fresh tomatos.

I usually add some peach preserves to picante sauce / salsa for chip-dipping.

Adding a little honey to spaghetti sauce.

Creamed beef gravy on scrambled eggs (pass on the biscuits).

Here’s an odd one maybe – A whole fried egg, sunny side up with a runny yolk on top of a piece of toast with butter and jelly.

@ WB in OH – I think Jason may want those tickets if you throw in a block of Velveeta.
