So the other day I went to the grocery and bought a bunch of stuff. But one of the things I bought was a 1 lbs bag of cookies for $2. That was a pretty good deal, I thought.

So since then I've been thinking a lot about just how many cookies that is for $2. And when people say like "Hey Alex I got a great cheeseburger last night for $5", I say "Hey friend, you could have gotten 2 1/2 lbs of cookies for that much money."
Then they are usually pretty sad. Because even though cheeseburgers are good, 2 1/2 lbs of cookies is better.

Then I thought about my apartment, which costs me about $400 a month. That's 200 lbs of cookies. Now, I'm not much of an architect, but I'm pretty sure I could build my own edible domicile with 200 lbs of cookies. And I could eat it.

Then I thought about my car, which cost me about $5000. That's 2500 lbs of cookies. That's over a ton of cookies. I could have easily ran anywhere I wanted to go for the last 4 years on the sugar rush supplied by 1.25 tons of cookies.

Then I thought about my bowling balls, which altogether are worth around $1000. That's 500 lbs of cookies. But bowling is better than cookies, so that was a good investment I think.

But every game of bowling costs $2, and that's 1 lbs of cookies. One game of bowling vs 1 lbs of cookies… hmph. That's a tough decision.

That's why I like to bowl for free.

Lazytown - Cooking By The Book

I'll pile on the candy,
it's such a pretty sight.
It makes the food taste dandy,
but my tummy hurts all night.

I'll put in some ingredients,
but keep the rest for mee.
I'm not just disobedient,
I'm careful, can't you see?!

It's a peice of cake to bake a pretty cake.
If the way is hazy…
you gotta do the cooking by the book.
You know you can't be lazy!
Never use a messy recipe,
the cake will end up crazy!
If you do the cooking by the book,
then you'll have a cake!
We gotta have it made, you know that I love cake.
Finally! It's time to make a cake.

Making food is just like science,
with tools that blend and baste.
And every fun appliance
gives the food a different taste.
