Mystery #150 - Bullet Time


Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe
Mystery #150 - Bullet Time

This isn't going to be one of my usual, wrathful Mysteries. Oh no, I am particularly fond of bullet time. I am an avid SUPPORTER of bullet time. In fact, I want to know what modern science is doing to make bullet time a part of my everyday life. Sure, brushing your teeth is pretty rad, but what if you could brush your teeth in bullet time? Especially if when you spit the glob made that cool bullet trail/ripple effect.

To all you haters (lookin at you, Chad) bullet time does not equal slow motion. Slow motion is lame. Slow motion is for wimps, wimps who like to do lame, wimpy things like run and/or skip, possibly with inspiring music in the background. No, bullet time is like hardcore slow motion. It's the slow motion your grandparents aren't sure they approve of because, in their day, people dodged bullets the old fashioned way. Slow-mo aint got nuthin on this.

Mystery #151 – The other stuff in pasta salad


Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe
Mystery #151The other stuff in pasta salad

I love me some pasta salad. Seriously, stick me in a room with some of that stuff and we'll have a good time. That being said, I'd like to dedicate today's blog to all of pasta salad's non-pasta ingredients. You would assume that, after years of wasting celery and peppers, garnishes doomed to be cast aside once their noodly companions are gone, someone would stand up and say "enough". But no, instead these poor ingredients have experienced year after year what the rest of us (me) had to go through only in elementary school: getting picked last.

Then again, we weren't standing in line to be eaten, but I think the metaphor holds up.
