BAAAD MOFO

How Baaad Is Yours?
BAAD MOFO (links to detail)
Last night I made a sandwich. No, it wasn't a sandwich. That would be like calling A 7 million ton cruise ship with 15 restaurants, 18 swimming pools, 4 beauty salons, 8 butcher shops, 2 locksmiths, a tantric sex school, and a homeless shelter a dinghy. This was like a dagwood but better. I cut open a nice sourdough roll and spread on some Dijon, then put a layer of arugula. I topped that with some hot, cripsy, greasy bacon. Then I got out an avocado and smooshed it on there. Finally, for good measure I threw in some anchovies, salt, and freshly ground pepper. That makes it a Bacon, Avocado, Anchovy, Arugula, Dijon sandwich. In the same genus as a BLT, but a different species, we call it a BAAAD sandwich for short. I highly recommend them if you, like me, don't have enough salt and fat in your diet (can you ever have enough?). There are other things you can do to make yours more or less BAAAD. Adding artichoke hearts or Asparagus for example would make it BAAAADer, and Adding Ahi tuna steak would make it go from BAAAD to worse.

Ok. I think I've abused this sorry excuse for a sandwich joke enough. I was serious about the sandwich though, it is good. Try it. Maybe some lemon juice would be good too? I don't know. Buon Apetito.

Sorry about the picture, I'm not trying to pay homage to japaneese woodblock prints by cutting off the subject in the foreground, it's just that I broke the viewfinder on my camera and composing shots is hard.

ACK, acronyms.

TATO (The Acronyms are Taking Over)
PBRMEASAP!!!
So I was in the forum when I came across the acronym POI. She said it meant person of interest. I had never heard that one. I thought it meant point of interest. With that in mind I went to an acronym dictionary to find evidence that she had just made up this acronym. Ah HA! I was right! POI stands for point of interest, but scrolling down the list of possible meanings I found out that she was right. It also means person of interest. That is a bit confusing, but brace yourself because the dictionary lists 29 other meanings for POI. Here are my favorites.


  • Point(s) Of Interest

  • Poor Obfuscation Implementation

  • Penguin on Ice

  • Proof of Identity

  • Products Of Inertia

  • Probability Of Intercept

  • Position of Interest

  • Polygons Of Interest

  • Point of Impact

  • period of interest
