    God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any other players,* to being involved in an obscure and complex game of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who smiles all the time.

    *i.e., everybody

    The cilantro problem…

    Thanks to a particularly frustrating trip to Qdoba, I feel the need to rant for a minute. Apologies in advance.

    Here’s the thing Qdoba; it’s about the cilantro. Now, I know that cilantro is all in vogue right now, God forbid your restaurant not serve the ‘trendy herb,’ but is it really necessary to put it in EVERYTHING? I mean, you must have noticed that a WHOLE lot of people don’t want cilantro anywhere near their food. Don’t you find that a bit odd? Have you ever bothered to wonder why?

    Maybe you think we’re just picky customers. Maybe you’ve decided that if we don’t have enough sense to LOVE the shit ton of cilantro you dump in all your food, then you don’t want our business anyway.

    Well, let me clear things up for you. Our hatred for cilantro is NOT irrational. It’s genetic. I’m sure cilantro tastes SUPER YUMMY to all you people out there who don’t have the cilantro problem. However, for those of us who do, it literally tastes putrid. Specifically, it tastes like some unholy combination of burnt rubber and rotting grass clippings soaked in dish soap. But worse. And very, VERY strong. It does not taste like food.

    The point I am trying to get at here is, contrary to what you cilantro happy crackpots over there seem to think, it is just not a flavor sensation that I want in my burrito. Thank you.

    Ha! Look at that. I didn’t completely screw up my first ever reblog. I feel special.

    srslainey: I just really have no idea how to be funny anymore. Maybe I never was. I thought that was a good one. It’s self-deprecating & it’s topical. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU PEOPLE WANT? I WAS ROBBED! ;) So… Does it make me a bad person for ‘liking’ this now, even though I didn’t star it in the first place? Cause I’m thinking, yes.

    About the flamingos… I thought it might be nice to explain why exactly Madison, Wisconsin is so interested in pink flamingos. Well, aside from the fact that we’re all nuts here, because there’s that too. The picture you’re looking at is from 1979. It’s Bascom Hill, part of the UW Madison campus, and those are 1,008 plastic pink flamingos. It was one Madison’s more iconic college pranks. Madison has always had a good sense of humor about itself, and I suppose this further proves it because, last night the city council voted on naming the plastic pink flamingo as our Official City Bird. It passed.

    Two hours into starting a Tumblr blog and I am doing the only thing I can think of—posting a picture of my cat. Hey, it was going to happen eventually. At least we got it over with early… Right? No? But he’s cute, isn’t he? I’m sorry.
