Ever get a “PLEASE FORWARD THIS MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW” mail with 100 people in the To: field that included 2 megs worth of picture files?
Respond with a link to Thanksno.com. They say nicely what I’ve been trying to tell people for years. “I still love you, but please respect my privacy and quit sending me junk!”
From the utterly bizarre files…
This guy taught himself to sing Stairway to Heaven backwards. He then reversed the video.
– Really cool, short music video. The music reminds me of Radiohead.
– What happens when a skunk invades a coffeehouse?
– It took a lot of balls to make this commercial.
– Don’t you hate it when your leg sneaks up on you? I do.
– Is there anything cuter than a passel of bellylaughing babies? The answer is no.
For years, the slightest hint of cilantro in my meal meant that I’d be going hungry. The foul stuff tasted like soap to me. Even as recently as 2003 I mentioned here about my distaste for the stuff.
Something’s changed.
I don’t know whether I’ve managed to kill off enough taste buds to tolerate the stuff or what. It doesn’t taste like freshly-squeezed soap juice to me anymore. It just tastes… like cilantro. Its presence in my food doesn’t spell instant disaster (with optional spit-out and beer-swish) anymore. In fact… dare I say it? I almost enjoy it now. All this happened in the last couple of years.
However, I completely sympathize with the plight of those behind IHateCilantro.com. Nobody used to believe me when I’d mention the soap taste. Living in Texas, home of Tex-Mex and heavy cilantro use, I’d often be stuck out when people were rhapsodizing about the pico de gallo or borracho beans. These days I’m as likely to enjoy them as everyone else, but I totally understand when the people on the I Hate Cilantro site talk about their distaste for the stuff.
Who do you think I am?
Have you been searching for blinker fluid or a left-handed screwdriver for years? Today’s your lucky day.

Probably the funniest thing I’ve seen all month.
