I've known folks who've lost their taste/ability to eat it following childbirth or health issues. That terrifies me. You can take a lot away from me, but jalopenos? That's just monstrous. <br /><br />Will check out the movie and writeup soon.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-21325390446239065202013-06-12T19:25:09.581-04:002013-06-12T19:25:09.581-04:00I love the taste of spicy snacks, but they cause m...I love the taste of spicy snacks, but they cause me -- literally -- to have nightmares. A few handfuls of Jalapeno Chex Mix, and that night I'll have a dream in which I'm trying to claw my way out of a coffin or something. I wish I were kidding about this.<br /><br />A friend alerted me to the existence of <i>Trapped Ashes.</i> We wrote an article about it <a href="http://www.unloosen.com/thestuff/archives/2008/08/trapped_ashes_reviewed_by_joe.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />As for the "Re-Membered" thing, I guess I was remembering a review I once saw of a movie starring John Wayne Bobbit. (Remember him?) The headline: "John Wayne Re-membered." Quite a saucy pun, no?Joe Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608854305357391691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-66105882955561359572013-06-11T21:28:17.863-04:002013-06-11T21:28:17.863-04:00I actually like those bumpy stick cracker thingies...I actually like those bumpy stick cracker thingies. They absorb the other flavors, while the pretzels just kind of dull everything around it. <br /><br />BTW: Have you tried the new jalopeno Chex Mix? It's ACTUALLY spicy, which is rare for a packaged food.<br /><br />I have not seen nor heard of Trapped Ashes, but the pedigree is intriguing. How have I never heard of this before?!<br /><br />P.S. No penile attachments. It's not really scandalous or saucy, I just, in truth, didn't really understand what was going on. For all I know, it was about a high school reunion gone terribly wrong.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-23385466175479399052013-06-11T21:02:38.184-04:002013-06-11T21:02:38.184-04:00The central metaphor of this article works extreme...The central metaphor of this article works extremely well on me, since I am a too-frequent purchaser of Chex Mix. I don't have a problem with the pretzels, per se. They're not outstanding, but they're not offensive either and they contribute to the overall texture of the mix. The bagel chips, clearly, are the stars. The Chex are the supporting players. The pretzels are background extras. If I had to remove anything, it would be those bland, bumpy, stick-shaped cracker things.<br /><br />Speaking of horror anthologies, have you seen <i>Trapped Ashes</i> yet? Lot of interesting people involved with that one, including Joe Dante and Ken Russell. It's an unholy mess from top to bottom, and I'd love to hear a woman's perspective on the script (which I thought ranged from "misogynist" to "super duper extra misogynist.") <br /><br />P.S. - You are coy about the plot of "Re-Membered." Is it about a guy having his penis surgically reattached, only to find it has become demonically possessed? I'm making my guess based on the title.Joe Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608854305357391691noreply@blogger.com
