Quantity Over Quality

I’m sure nobody has ever noticed this before, but depending on what size/box/bag of Cheez-Its you buy they often taste different between each other. To me the bigger the package the worse the actual crackers are inside. Now sometimes there are exceptions and I get a good big box of Cheez-Its, but the little bags always taste better to me. Maybe it’s just me and I eat way too many Cheez-Its.

Test it out though, if you want to. The quality of the cracker degrades as the packaging gets larger. So the preference of packaging I prefer is (listed best to worst quality)

1. Bags (10)
2. Mini Box (7.5)
3. Regular Size Box (5.5)
4. Family Size Box (3.5)
5. 3lb Box (1.5)

I even made a handy chart for you. Feel free to print it out and take it with you so you know which size Cheez-It package to get the next time you go shopping for a snack. The taste ranges from a 1.5 (bad) to a perfect 10 (very good).

New Contributing Writer: The Far Left Lesbian

I have a real blog in which I write real things about my real life, but this is a fun blog which I decided to join to contribute a differing view from the ones already represented by the other contributors. As the title of this post might suggest, I'm a gay female with views usually leaning left - far left.

I am pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, GObama, a feminist, and a plethora of other things that don't really have a concise label.

So...having introduced myself a tiny bit, I'm going to keep the rest of my first post in theme with today's other posts.

GO VOTE! (Just...not Vitter. Please.)

Go and Vote With Honor

Today is a historical time as is every midterm election when the sitting president's approval rating is under 50%. I will not endorse a candidate or party here; I will leave that up to our contributing writers. Go and vote. Our voter turnout is ridiculous. We live in the freest nation in the world and we don't even elect our own leaders. A very small part of the population turns out and votes. Where is your voice? If you don't vote then you better not dare bitch about the economic climate. In my daily life, I find the people who complain the most about welfare, healthcare and social issues are the same damn people who sit at home on Election Day.

Democrats are slated to lose many seats in both the Senate and Congress. I don't care what your party affiliation is; go out and vote. If we can really boost our voter turnout then we can see what kind of people America is really comprised of. (I have my own opinions but I'll hold). This way people may stop bickering and arguing about how they believe "The country thinks." So many times I hear politicians say "This is what Americans want!" Can you (the person who didn't vote) honestly answer that politician and say, "Why yes, that is what I want." Maybe, but more often than not that politician is representing people with polar opposite beliefs than you. What do you say now? "No that is not what I want"? Sorry too late, you already didn't vote. Epic fail on the Americans that are able and don't vote. When I say able I mean cognitively and physically (There are many many people that shouldn't vote).

With all that GO and  VOTE DAMMIT!!! (preferably those with Rs behind there name...oops I endorsed a side. It'll never happen again)

Hunting Season is a here!

It's time! Bow season started a month ago. Primitive and still hunt start soon too. Go out and hang with mom nature for a while and bag a buck, duck or turkey. Remember, you don't have to own a lease to go hunting. There are many a WMA (Wildlife Management Area) around the state. One of the most notable is Kisatchie National Forest in North Louisiana. If you are reading this from out of state, check your state's department of Wildlife and Fisheries for the nearest WMA. For you Louisiana readers:

Good Hunting! - Alfred

Happy Election Day

It's Election Day today. It is every American's civic duty to go out and vote, especially in these tough times. We need to pick the best of the best to lead us. Being the apolitical side to this personality, however, means I will not be voting today. Mainly since I have no idea what the candidates stand for. I could research everything they support, but that would take too much time and effort. Instead, I will be "voting" for something else: Windows. See, the new mobile operating system from Microsoft is making it's retail debut in the US next Monday. I fully support Windows in what it stands for, so I will be purchasing a shiny new Windows Phone 7 device. The Samsung Focus to be exact. No, purchasing this does not make my country better. No, it will not stop bullying or any of the other controversial stuff seen on the news. But it does take something away from Apple. 1 less iPhone user in the world. And I cannot wait for that day to come.

It may be sad that I care more about taking Apple down than voting, but it's something I really do care about. I'll leave the political stuff to people who care about politics.
