Things I think are stupid

HERE is an article on microwave potato chips. Fine, but, the author say you don't need fancy equipment, just buy a $20 dollar mandolin slicer. What the fuck? I don't have $20 bucks to spend on a slicer. What idiot spends $20 bucks on a mandolin??? Are you fucking crazy? I got one from the dollar store for fidy cents. It works fine. What the fucking fuck is wrong with these people? The other day I looked up how to clean a gourd. OMFG. Buy safety glasses, buy a drill with a special bit, buy a mask, beware of mold, research mold..on and on. Fucking nuts. I put it in the kitchen sink and sprayed it with some bleach bathroom cleanser (1$) and scrubbed it with a 10 cent scrubby sponge. Cleaned the sink, threw the sponge away and got on with the project. These experts make my ass tired. I'm not afraid of a little mold on a gourd. No one should be. Oh, and they cut real easy with a steak knife. Perfect hole. You don't need a drill. And I will never spend $20 bucks to slice a GD tater. What the fuck is wrong with these people???

The very worst of all time is ExpertVillage. None of those fuckers know anything and they will fuck your shit up quicker than snot. 'Specially your garden. Oh, dear mercy the bad things they advise to new gardeners..I can't stand it.

Most of the new 'survivalist' movement is terrible too. I was going to do a post on it. It's called 'making do' you lame green fucks. It's what poor folks do to survive and they lived because they didn't spend money on crap like composting toilets and designer chicken houses.

I saw a poster yesterday that said something about removing warning labels from everything as a way to thin stupid people from the population. It could work.

Miss Tia said...

yeah the survivalist/'thrifty' movement really gets my goat....they spend ALL this money to 'save' money and they totally miss the boat and CONCEPT which is exactly what you said: it's called MAKING DO.....

i have a book on thrift and saving from 1915 and it's just amazing how 'current' it is....it goes on how SAVING money is good for the economy, how being thrifty is different than being 'mean' with your money, and suggests ways to save, economize, etc....

seriously... you would have to be batshit crazy to make your own potato chips. bat shit crazy.

Dirty Disher said...

Gawd Frim. It's frightening.

Yep, Tia, I'll bet that's a good book.

Lia, I know you're poking me. I made chips in the toaster oven like Lady Sonja Morgan..lol. Now, Imma try my micro. Big pans of oil scare me now.

as with bread baking, its quicker, easier, cheaper and tastier to buy a king size pack of chips. how long would it take to make a king size quantiity. geez you'd have to be committed! and the way those chips were layered in the pic, i thought some artist was creating fish scales or something. home made potato crisp making is definitely only suitable for obsessive compulsive types. lol

Dirty Disher said...

LOL. I am obsessive in trying things. I'm hooked on Gardettos. Do you have those there?

My simple home bread beats your store bread any day. I'd send you some, but, it's probably illegal. The governments don't want us sending food goods between countries. They want to poison us themselves. LOL.

I've been gathering seeds for you from my garden and realized today they probably won't get across the border. I'm going to try anyway.
