2) I'm so sorry about your eye. 🥺 But so glad you found out what was wrong. And that you shared the info with us. Write as slowly as you want! I hope those eye stabbies do the trick.
You're one of my food heros and now you've moved up to super hero status for soldiering through, especially with those eye injections, a 42nd birthday (the 40s are the best!), and sucking clam juice through a chunk of chocolate Carry on, my friend!
I'm so glad you got answers and a diagnosis for your eye, and I hope treatments are able to let you keep your eye, much as I'd love to see the laser eye draw dicks on a wall.
First off, sorry to learn of your eye problems. Glad you are getting appropriate treatment. Hope you achieve the best outcome.
Secondly... eww! I'll spare you my take on what that stuff looks like to me. But if I saw that at work, I'd advise immediate urological consultation. I've run into many people who drank Listerine to get a buzz... at least when they vomit it doesn't smell as bad as usual.
This was wonderful, and, as usual, you did not disappoint. We all think you’re awesome, Dannis, whether you’ve got one eye or three eyes--either way. 42 could be an awesome year for you! That’s the year I got my Hitchhiker’s Guide tattoo...
I think the problem here is that you essentially turned food and drink “pairing” into a single combined item. That lets one flavor dominate the other. You need something that dominates the palate in a negative way, followed by something triggers a gag reflex. Like a body temperature oyster shooter in swimming in durian kefir followed by a gefilte fish in its brine shooter. Just back and forth until something gives.
I hope the Coats’ Disease treatments are successful and relatively manageable. Getting old and sick sucks… oh, Happy Meaning of Life The Universe and Everything Birthday!
You've got plenty of sympathy about the eye from others, so I'm going in a different direction: doesn't this call for a celebratory sheep's eye stew? Do you fancy a meal consisting largely of retinas and aqueous humor, with some softened sclerotic coat?
Also, thinking of the time-honoured food/drink combo of champagne and oysters -and thinking back on the time you tried combining all the flatulence-inducing foods and pizzle inspo - have you ever considered making a meal (or milkshake) consisting solely of aphrodisiac foods?
Despite your assurances that it really wasn’t very clammy, I made gagging noises throughout the entire reading, so perhaps that’ll assuage Josh’s quest to make someone hork (or close to it). Thank you for your service journalism
Happy birthday, your eye got you a cataract! (Seriously sounds like a rough few weeks--wishing you as speedy a "get this shit managed" as possible.) I'm almost disappointed this Tim Tam Clam Slam wasn't MORE horrific, but I guess that's the universe giving you a break... AND it's really fun to say, so I'm going to be talking about it all day, if not all week.
Good on you Dennis. Sorry you've had a rough few weeks. Wishing all the best for you!
I don't know why, but the fact that you heated up the clam juice makes it so much worse.
1) HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY, DANNIS!!!!!

So funny 😂. In the UK the equivalent to Tim Tams would be Penguin biscuits - so very appropriate that you have a penguin sitting behind the packet 😄

Sir,

Good luck to you and yours. Be safe.

An unexpected culinary journey, thank you! I would recommend the Tim Tam Slam also with KitKats 👍

Huh. I nip off opposing corners rather than the entire top and bottom. Makes for a slightly longer straw.
Do it again with heavily reduced clam juice, or maybe... Clam chowder?

Trader Joe’s makes a knockoff version that tastes like the real thing, at a fraction of the cost, I’d you can find them.
