I had an entire post planned today about life with Jumby and how mind trippingly amazing it is to be the mother to this marvelous little boy.
I was, in short, going to bust out the ole mommy for the mommy blog and pen an ode to parenthood and children with disabilities and how the world will one day be a miraculous place when my little Jumby takes his deserved crown and sits on his throne and reigns supreme as Global Overlord and World leader.
Then I was sidetracked. Apparently, I have the attention span of a two year old on crack. My sentimental train of thought crashed through the guard rails, dove off a cliff and exploded in a rather spectacular imaginary bang of fireworks and flames.
Apparently I may have watched way too many episodes of the original Knight Rider as a child.
With my loving and thoughtful post swirling the drain, I am forced to write about what initially caused the train to jump rails in the first place.
(And I’m not talking about the dirty direct messages and clever tweets my twitter friends use regularly in an effort to waste my life force and preempt any lame blog posts I may have planned.
They are a wily lot my tweeples.)
As I was drinking my coffee and crafting the words to make up my next parental ode, I clicked a link and then another (I think we may have established I am easily distracted) until I stumbled onto this:
Pork Brains: Grey Matter from the Other White meat
There are just no words.
All I can say is thank ALL THAT IS GOOD AND SPARKLY IN THE UNIVERSE that my father did not have access to this product as I grew up.
Spam never looked so good.
Even if my father did cut it up and put it in my mac and cheese.
Things can always get worse. It could have been processed brains.
(But oh, how I wish I could get a hold of a can of this just to FREAK my children out. Imagine the horror. Bwhahaha.)

This is hilarious! I laughed so hard at your last part where you mwahaha’ed over the thought of torturing your kids with that… I love it!

As a child my wife was served brains and eggs for breakfast. This should have been an omen in regards to my in-laws.

Oh… My… God… I just had a flash of Hannibal Lector sitting on the plane feeding brains of FBI agent to a child in the end of “Hannibal.” Holy freaking crap!

Su-Weeet! I need to get me some of those. I hear they are best served with a big ole bag of pork rinds! Mmmm, Mmmm!

A little photoshop, a home printer, a heinz can of baked beans. You could still be a *little* evil with your kids. Just freak them about a *small* amount.
But you didn’t hear it from me.

You think them brains is bad, how about some stuff called Spotted Dick (I kid you not). It’s from Scotland. I found some in a store. I’d post the pic here but I’m too dumb (and too lazy) to figure it out. Anyhow, I’m the same as you: I get so easily distra…whoa, check out this boa constrictor eating a goat…damn! What was I saying?

*Well if my husband ever pisses me off (he has high blood pressure) I know how to off him without any suspicion. Seriously? 3500 MG Sodium??????*
Ummm…Kay? The 3,500 you are referring to is cholesterol, not sodium. But, hey…pissed is pissed, right? Six of one, half a dozen of the other…

Gnarly. The cholesterol is really whelming! ;p
I have heard that brains are a delicacy in many places. I don’t think I could eat it canned though!!! Maybe fresh… Meep!
