Reminds me of a bit from So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, by Douglas Adams, where the protagonist, Arthur Dent, returns to his house after a long absence hitchhiking around the galaxy. After pushing his way past the accumulation of mail that the postman has dropped through his letter slot, he selects "the three least green things" from his refrigerator, and stares at them for a full minute. When they don't move, he eats them.
Hitchhiking around the galaxy changes your standards regarding what is and isn't edible.
Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of microorganisms... the thrill of bacteria ... and the agony of athletes feet... the human drama of what's for breakfast... This is Ann Althouse's Wide World of Spores!
SonofNewo has uploaded onto YouTube a new video about the Charlottesville incident.

James Fields positioned his car on Fourth Street about 1:15 minutes before he drove into the crowd of anti-racism protesters. At some point, Fields backed his car about a block and then stopped and raced forward into the crowd.
SonofNewo talks a lot about Brennan Gilmore, the CIA officer who was standing at the corner of Fourth and Main Street and filmed Field racing into the crowd.
The world is blue as an orange No error the words do not lie They no longer allow you to sing In the tower of kisses agreement The madness the love She her mouth of alliance All the secrets all the smiles Or what dress of indulgence To believe in quite naked. The wasps flourish greenly Dawn goes by round her neck A necklace of windows You are all the solar joys All the sun of this earth On the roads of your beauty.

Mountain Man is not amused.
"Just eat around it, princess."
Bad orange juice spoils the taste of the bacon and eggs. And that pic is all a mind needs to taste bad in the orange juice.
I drink tomato juice with my breakfast.
Not the sort of thing I generally would like to see with my breakfast and first cup of coffee.
But strangely compelling.
At least I wasn't planning on having an orange for breakfast.

The Tide Pod of oranges.
I thought it looked like the orange was wearing a hat.
This blog has become nothing but Trump, Trump, Trump.
I thought it looked like the orange was wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
I meant the other photo -- the one where the cup is wearing a Donald Trump hair-do.
Looks like a Florida orange about to head to a University of Florida football game.
An artifact which supports the theory that mankind prevailed without claws and fangs because we drink coffee.
Gilligan let the torches go out, again!
You don't need to buy Tide Pods, you can grow your own!
It's very pretty and I like how you composed it in the photo. Just don't eat it. The 'eat around it crowd' are insane.

I thought it looked like a globe.
"I thought it looked like a globe."
The polar ice cap is NOT melting! Global warming a HOAX!! We have the photos to prove it!!!
Having just cleaned out the refrigerator, the idea that comes to mind, in both pictures, is mold.

It looks like a planet from a 1980's sci-fi movie.
It's a Yoko Ono breakfast.
Molds are fascinating things.

He is one of the best investigative reporters during the past 40 years.
I thought it was colored sugar on top of white sugar.
Also, the Meadhouse Trump comments were hilarious.
The World Is Blue As An Orange
by Paul Eluard
The world is blue as an orange
No error the words do not lie
They no longer allow you to sing
In the tower of kisses agreement
The madness the love
She her mouth of alliance
All the secrets all the smiles
Or what dress of indulgence
To believe in quite naked.
The wasps flourish greenly
Dawn goes by round her neck
A necklace of windows
You are all the solar joys
All the sun of this earth
On the roads of your beauty.
