The Breadbowl: Ruining your Meal Since 1937

If there's 2 things San Francisco has plenty of, it's gay dudes who are so physically jacked they make straight dudes (like me) look like women...


... and delicious clam chowder in sourdough breadbowls.


Here's what I've learned: the breadbowl is a hoax. Not unlike Global Warming, premium channels and the female orgasm.
You see, the breadbowl is no different from a ceramic bowl, or even a plastic bowl. It's a temporary holding location for the soup until the soup can be transported to your mouth, usually via spoon. In a sense, it's like soup escrow. But the bonus is the escrow account is a flaky and delicious piece of sourdough bread to be enjoyed long after the soup transfer has occurred.
The problem is it looks bigger and significantly more delicious than, say a mug of Campbell's Tomato, duping the innocent soup purchaser into paying more. In reality they're probably getting less soup and that delicious flaky sourdough escrow account has turned into a cold hard hockey puck of non-interest-earning dissatisfaction, to be unceremoniously discarded with regret.

Bet you were wondering how I was gonna tie that all together. And yes, for those of you keeping track at home, that is 2 posts in a row with drawings of bears in bondage gear. Aim Low Kid rules!!

R.I.P. Charlton Heston, Nostalgia, NRA

Chuckton Heston was one of the best. He had a really kick ass physical advantage on other actors that made him, essentially, the LeBron James of his era. Sure, there were other actors who could boast good looks (Stewart, Grant, Gable), booming freak-voice (Yul Brynner) or even his level of manly physical prowess (Katherine Hepburn). But nobody combined all three in such a convenient package. Whether he was playing a Mexican (Touch of Evil), or even a Jew (The Ten Commandments), dude could act.
He also got posterized by Michael Moore once which I thought was lame. Can't hate on El Cid for being a baller, if a conservative one.
Speaking of conservative, this dude loved guns.
I always imagined the den of his private home with human heads mounted on the wall. And a giant polar bear rug. The rug really got off light though, I suppose.

Don't worry, it turns out Polar Bears hang out on ice drifts on purpose, to hunt. And they can swim like 20 miles no problem, so this guy's cool... unless this ice flow is 21 miles or more away from shore. But if it is, then he's in international waters, and you know what that means...


That's right, it's freaky interspecies bondage. Anyway... Charlton Heston was great.
He will be missed...
If you'd like to make a small donation to the NRA in honor of his memory... what? That's not inappropriate!
