“black flies the little black flies…”
“always a black fly everywhere you go, i’ll die with the black flies picking my bones in north Ontar-i-o-i-o, in north Ontar-i-o.”
(i like that song)
so anyone remember the big fuss everyone made over pre-washed salad packages containing a bit of e-coli in them?
well, at the time i didn’t really think much of it.
and i continued to eat the salad straight from the bag.
hey, if i wanted to wash the salad i’d buy a normal bunch of lettuce!
and i figured, a little e-coli isn’t gonna kill me! i continued with the whole ‘not washing ready-to-eat salad’ thing.
[it’s like that whole West Nile virus ’scam’. i say it’s all a ploy by the companies who manufacture mosquito repellant.
granted, a couple people do die from West Nile every year, so i’m all for the elderly and children and sickly people to be cautious.
but seriously, most of us already carry the west nile virus and we’re doing just fine with it.
anyways back to the subject at hand.

unlike me, my parents have ALWAYS washed the salad.
like hardcore washing with soap suds and everything.
tonight i find out that my mom found a fly in the salad container!
heh, all those years of washing are finally justified.
so maybe i will start washing the salad now.
that is, if i ever buy it again.
imagine crunching down on a bug!! that’d be disgusting!
(lol, e-coli is okay, but bugs are unacceptable! 
)
i watched a bizarre show on tv today.
it was called “What were they thinking?” and the host (Sean Cullen, who always cracks me up!) was going around to random towns in canada that had big statues of things.
like, the biggest pyrogy was in Alberta.
he also went to a huge revolving egg…. i’m not sure what that was about.
and then there were giant mushrooms.
it was an odd odd show.
i do like that Cullen guy though.
he has an accent on the ‘a’ in his name… it’s intriguing cuz i’ve never seen that before.
`blop
(btw, if anyone really cares what the brand of salad was, you can email me and i’ll tell you.)
