Corn on the Macabre

Ahh, spring. Warm weather, longer days, the color green, cookouts… it a wonderful thing. After a long day of being outside, we capped the day off with a cookout. As we were eating the delicious corn on the cob (too early for local, but at least it’s from the USA), I wondered what the other the uneaten corn was thinking. This wasn’t Corn on the Cob for him, but more likely Corn on the Macabre. I snapped a few photos of the ghastly scene (if you’re a vegetable, anyway):

aPlateOfGrapes.com is now 3!!!

You read that right; The Grape has been a part of your life for three years. Some might argue we’re no longer grapes, but a fine aged wine. Speaking of win, here’s a link with instructions on how to make your own wine… if you happen to be incarcerated. Prison wine (a.k.a., Pruno) has been around for as long as people have been locked up and unable to get wasted. Head on over to Modern Drunkard Magazine (amusing site, actually) to read not just the recipe, but the writers experience in tasting the concoction.

Anniversary Week Celebrates: The Pretenders

No, not the band. I know I posted about W.A.S.P. and Ratt a week or so ago, but that was an aberration. No, this post is about sites with names curiously similar to aPlateOfGrapes.com.

First up is a website called GrapesAndSmallPlates.com. Lucky for them they’re focused on local wineries and restaurants and not actual grapes on actual plates, or we’d have a good ol’ fashioned throw down.

It seems grape themed sites are cropping up all over the place. Case in point, GrapeAndPlate.com. They appear to be another wine centric site, so I guess they’ll be spared my wrath…

Finally, we have FunnyGrapes.webs.com. Although the site does have grapes, it isn’t very funny. It’s just a a picture of some grapes… what’s up with that?
