No, just because January has been interminable, doesn't mean it's April first yet.

Not crazy to want to know where your food's food comes from...animal feed is the greatest promoter of PFAS forever chemicals in our food, real deal. But, as these chemicals are ubiquitous in our bloodstream and food supply, this solution won't completely be a solve...though it does have a rarefied air

A 'rarefied air" indeed! And I don't think wanting to know where one's food's food comes from is crazy, either.

To borrow a phrase from Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner's Daughter, I was just cuttin' up 'n actin' silly.

Bless you, madame. I'm relieved that not everyone was confused by this one.

Jonathan Swift had the same problem with An Indecent Proposal....

Is that because Demi Moore was too believable?

Twisted. Just . . twisted. I'm afraid some will read and be inspired, in all the wrong ways.

Expand full comment

Someone is always inspired in all the wrong ways. Usually, that person is me.

I was wondering for a second if the Americans had All gone batshit ( or other shit) until the colander came into it, then I woke up! That and the fact his surname is Bottoms( this does happen in England though)

Michael, I hope there were others who caught on too or it’s extremely worrying and perhaps they wandered over from Facebook and so believe everything

Expand full comment

Hahaha. Facebook is the Saddest Land in Oz.

Larissa, that was precisely the point at which I intended people to catch on. THANK YOU for getting that! I thought a man named Jeremy Bottoms would be both believable and a slight giveaway, if that's at all possible.

Also: There's a heavy streak of batshit that's run through American history for more than 400 years now, ever since the Mayflower landed with a bunch of religious extremists and that guy who brought 126 pairs of shoes with him.

You just know Alice and co have considered this

In the brief months I worked Zuni Cafe, I waited on her a few times. I think she liked me because I gave her shit (not literally as in this post) and was not in awe of her.

"Although my girlfriend refuses to eat it.” Oh, the joy this caused me.

Expand full comment

I am so (expletive) glad someone mentioned the girlfriend!

I really want to hear from the red flag ai roommate.

Expand full comment

I was honestly surprised by the company name. I mean the clue is in their title.

And I suspect the roommate is as insufferable in his own way as Mr. Bottoms.

Truly breathtaking Michael…. 🤣

Hi. Longtime fork-to-farmer-er here. I just want to alert your readers to the importance of eliminating all tree nuts from their diet if they intend to sell their excrement on the open market. You really don't want *that* lawsuit on your hands, trust me. And don't even think about eating hot wings unless you plan to cultivate a niche clientele.

P.S. Ziplock bags are the fork-to-farm-er's friends. It freezes really well!

Expand full comment

The only freezer-type bags I use are made from carefully cured cow uteruses and only from cows that have been given humane hysterectomies (at their own request).

I know you know how much I look forward to your comments, JD3. You never disappoint.

Hhhh at first I thought okay is somebody really doing this?

I mean somebody probably is doing this and we just don't know about it 😁

Expand full comment

I hope I never meet the person (or persons who are doing this). Or at least if I did, I wouldn't want to shake their hand.

Expand full comment

Um, ok.

I sense that "Um" is doing far more than 50% of the work in that sentence.

You, my friend, just put the poo in Pulitzer.
