This blog is intended to both poke fun at, and shed light on, the confluence of a couple of phenomena of the internet age: the level of discourse one finds on “comment” areas of newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc., and the polarization of the nation into just two camps (liberal or conservative, pepsi or coke, tastes great or less filling).

I've called it “Be Reasonable” to bring focus to what is out of focus: that people don’t seem to be able to engage in reasonable discussion or reasonable disagreement, but instead act in disrespectful ways to feel like they’ve made their point. Of course, this does nothing of the sort. So, I am here to implore people to please, take a look at the items I post here…see yourself in them…and “Be Reasonable” for once.

Ice Cube Hilarity

If you don’t read any of my other blog posts (and why the hell aren’t you?!), treat yourself to this one.  You won’t be disappointed.

Who knew ice cubes could be so damn funny?



No.  Not Ice Cube, the rapper turned mainstream actor.  Ice cubes, the frozen…ummm…treat?



Yes. Those.
People send me links and stories that they think might be good candidates for this blog.  Because of that, every once in a while something comes across my inbox that is so delectable, so tasty, that not only can I not improve upon it but I am compelled to share it with as many people as I can.  That is the case with the following submission to a food.com recipe for, you guessed it, ice cubes.



Now, you may be thinking the same thing I was thinking when I first read it:  “Cute, someone trying to take a lame attempt at an old joke.”    I also thought that maybe the internetz would respond with some mean comments back at the author “CHRISSYG” who was just trying to be a little light and poke fun at her family. 

I was wrong.  Way wrong.  What ensues is one of the funniest collaborative jokes I have seen in years.   Most of the respondents decided to play it straight and respond just like they would any other recipe, offering helpful hints and feedback to the steps provided.  To…ahem…wet…your…uhh…appetite, here are just a few of the tasty morsels (I can’t help myself):








Who knew “foodies” could be so damn clever?  If you want to continue to laugh, click on the “ratings and reviews” tab at this link:  http://www.food.com/recipe/ice-cubes-420398
