Mmmm…

I like the taste of Bigelow.

10 points to whoever figures out who/what I’m referring to.

Update: Ah ha! Coyote has it right! Of course, they may benefit because I don’t think I know them yet (if I do, correct me! All these screen names makes my head spin). However, some people know I have a friend who’s last name is Bigelow, and I frequently jest about doing unseemly things to him, such as cooking him up and eating him, so anyone who knows both Bigelow and myself would be misled into believing that this was yet another cheerful jape! But now, it is the tea I was enjoying. Bigelow brand “Sweet Dreams” herbal tea. It contains such goodness as chamomile and hibiscus.

The reason I was drinking said tea is because I am quite sick. I’ve spent the last few days in what amounts to a ‘stupor’ due to a quite impressive illness. It isn’t the flu, and it isn’t a cold. My mucus is a bit yellow, and I’ve been coughing up quite a bit of it, so I’m inclined to believe it is bacterial. I’m hoping I can conquer it on my own, so I don’t have to deal with expensive doctors. But thankfully, things seem to be clearing up, and I’ll probably be back at work tomorrow.

Barb brought the tea over the other evening, along with makings for soup. Madalene and Barb made me drink tea, and prepared soup for me, and then chuckled to each other as I sat bleary eyed at the table, dripping snot from all orifices, with a blanket wrapped around my body, and a cup of tea clutched in my shaking hands. All the commentary I could muster was, “I like the taste of Bigelow,” which they both thought was quite humorous. So big kudos to the ladies who fed me soup and Bigelow.

BTW, as to the ‘points’ system, I haven’t decided what to do with them yet. In fact, I’m not really keeping track yet. However, all I have to do is search for ‘points’ on the main page, and I find all the entries where I have awarded them. I’ve been thinking of writing a script that would let me keep track of the points I’ve awarded, and easily enter new data. Dustin, if I write such a script, I’ll hook you up with it so you can keep track of ‘nub points’. Then, after I keep track of the points, I’ll think up something you can do with them, like exchange them for some sort of prize. 2 points for each good idea for prizes. 15 points if anyone has a script that will keep track of scores like this without me having to write one.

    Well what are those ten points good for? Can I trade them in for some sort of prize? I was thinking about engineering some sort of system for tracking Nub points on my site. I was then thinking that I could create a big list of odd tasks which a person or team could accomplish to recieve nub points. Then there would be a big list of prizes that they could choose from to redeem those points.

    It would be sort of like a digital scavenger hunt.

    It’s got to be the musical tastes of your friends the Bigelows. However there is the tea and a stout from Wales with that name as well.

    Bon appetite!

    I know a prize! How about some genuine yellowish mucus from one of your orifices (orifi?)? The more interesting the orifice, the more points needed to get the mucus.

    now having met this little brother named greg…this comment does not surprise me….which orifice, pray tell, would you prefer to win mucus, greg?

  10. on 24 Dec 2003 at 4:08 pm Grego

    I would say the eyeballs, as eyeballs have naturally sweet juices anyway… mmmmm… eye juices. The eye mucus would naturally, like tofu, pick up the sweetness from the eye. Of course, this mucus would cost the most points to recieve.

    In that case, Greg, Barb and I agree! Licking someone’s eyeball (while perhaps not something they desire) is funny. So, perhaps Sam wants to volunteer his eyeball for licking up sweet mucus from if you get the most points? ;-)

    ooo eyeball licking my favorite activity. we have to wait until den gets home so we can have a competition to see who can extract the most sweet juices with their tongue. hehe hes going to hate me!!!!!

    Im not so sure its something that needs a script. I was mostly just going to post a list of who has nub points and what sort of tasks one could complete to receive more. mmm. I was just thinking that it would be good to know the total nub points awarded and the percentage of that total that each person was getting. Maybe a script would be a good idea. Ohhh how I adore statistics!

    Well Since Im pipedreaming about a script I would make it so that sam points could be traded openly for nub points. The script would then calculate a current exchange rate.
