Hey everyone! It's Tuesday afternoon, I'm just chillin at home. Happy post-whatever-crap-you've-eaten-lately day.
As soon as I read the "tim tam slam" post I knew it would end up in some kind of cookie throw-down.

thirteenkiller's post has gotten a lot of flags, and the tim-tam one has gotten a few too, but neither of them seems all that bad. The metachat reference in the former is apt enough—this sort of thing is at home there, sure—but I don't think an isolated shot of playful pseudo-bloggery is much of a crime. As a trend it'd bear looking at; right now it's a goofy non-event. We haven't exactly hit Threat Level: Elephant Day.

Today, I had brownies with M&Ms in them. I am currently working on a recipe for a donut that also contains M&Ms. The best part is, if some scientists' projections are correct, and we live in a toroidal universe, the baking or 'rising' of the donut will simulate the spatial expansion that causes almost every galaxy to be redshifted. That is to say, if each M&M can stand in for a galaxy in this metaphor, as the dough rises, the M&Ms will all move apart. An observer on a given M&M would see all of the other M&Ms redshifted (assuming he had some sort of telescope that could see through donut). This is great news to anyone who likes to eat nothing but red M&Ms.

Today's metafilter has been like laying on the couch while you have a cold and your parents are having dinner in the other room and you're ten years old and they're having a conversation about something and you can almost hear the words but not really, instead you just make out the general tone, but it's a tone that you're not really used to, and they're just talking about pedestrian things that sort of annoy you a little but seem ril ril special because you can't understand them at all because you're so sick and you keep coughing but the coughing doesn't hurt or anything, just scrapes your throat and then you fall asleep and drool on the arm of the couch and you wake up a little while later with spit all over the side of your face and your eyes hurt and you're hungry and they won't let you watch TV.

I awakened in the middle of the night from a dream in which a mouse was stuck in my sweatshirt, scrambling around. We were both trying to get it out of there, but every time I'd shake a sleeve it would run into my hood, and I'd pull on my hood and it would run down my chest. So I woke up.
And do you know, when I woke up I found that my dick had turned to sugar and started to crumble, and the naked goat man who lives in my sock drawer was sitting in my easy chair laughing and throwing lit matches on my bedspread. So I got up and spread peanut butter on the windows until they stopped rattling, rolled back into bed, and slept soundly until morning.

I ate four hotdogs. But they were turkey-dogs, which means they're healthy. Add some ketchup and I've satisfied three of four food groups. I was going to put some cheese on them (which would make my food group usage 4/4), but I was too lazy.

Dear Ask Metafilter:
I hit three of the four major food groups today (coffee, cigarettes, beer), but I forgot about the fourth (actual food) until about midnight, when I started to get a little hungry, so I had some deep fried mac 'n' cheese wedges (with ranch sauce for dippin' purposes!) at Holman's.
So my question is this:
Did I, in fact, eat any actual food today?
