Tapioca, love it or hate it?

LOVE IT!

I love squeezing zits. I have them more as an adult than I did as a teenager. Anyway the boba tapioca is black, not sebum or pus-colored. Ever use lanolin for anything? Comes out of sheep pores.

Then this might just be up your alley:

Oh my god that is one of the most disturbing sites I've ever seen! I feel so dirty now.

Didn't know sheep had paws, learn something everyday

Not so sure about it elsewhere though!

I like a milk tea made with black tea and sweetened condensed milk.  I remember what you mention as being called "pearl tea."  Does that seem right?

That's right. Pearl milk tea.  There are other variants - taro, etc but I like pearl milk tea best.

I just found out less than a year ago that taro and elephant ears are the same thing. Blew my mind.

Do you know why elephants have round feet?

So they can walk across ponds on the lily pads.

It is way too late at night for me to be reading this lunacy.

You almost made me choke on my expensive moving-night beer (Rogue Mocha Porter, yay). I'm listening to KMFDM and drowning in absurdity.

I'm making great progress, btw. My house is becoming less a forest of boxes and more a city of boxes.

To stay on topic - tapioca tapioca. I don't love it or hate it. I do still find it pretty novel.

How can you tell an elephant has been in your refrigerator?

It left footprints in the tapioca pudding.

How can you tell elephants have been making love in your yard?

There's garbage all over the place and the trashcan liner is missing.

I've heard of Rogue. It's a micro-b in Oregon, I think.

I used to drink Henry Weinhard's from Portland when the bottling numbers actually meant something.  That was in the early 80's.

Henry Weinhard's from what I understand share breweries these days with another local (or local-ish) beer company, but I forget who. They have an interesting history, and their stuff is actually imo really good for the price.

I like Rogue a lot but they're not even in my top few favorites. Their stuff is pretty expensive and has labels more interesting than the liquid in the bottles. The best across-the-board (not counting one-offs or cool specialties) local breweries in my (inexpert) opinion are Deschutes and Bridgeport.

Henry Weinhards was brewed in Portland by Blitz-Weinhard Brewry.

In 1979 they were bought by Pabst
In 1996 they were bought by Strohs
In 1999 they were bought by Miller; the Portland brewery was closed and production moved to Olympia in Tumwater, WA

I like the Weinhard soft drinks, whose recipes were used during Prohibition.

Their root beer is pretty special.
