Lumpy Space Princess.

 

By now it is fairly clear that I like cartoons, a lot. To be honest my life consists of school, homework, and TV. I tend to have a lot of alone time since I am an only child. But back to the fact that I really like cartoons. One of my favorite cartoon characters is Lumpy Space Princess or LSP from Adventure Time.


Love or hate the show I find it to be one of the better shows on. But anyways in the land of the internet we have something called a spirit animal. This spirit animal could be anything really, the definition is not limited to just animals anymore. My spirit animal happens to be LSP. She's a lumpy space being from lumpy space who has a ton of attitude.

She's known for her funny and dramatic takes on the events that unfold. No matter what the situation LSP is going to say something irrelevant and the great part about that is that she doesn't care. She's over-dramatic and a little mean sometimes but rarely does she care about what others think of what she's saying. She's in  your face and says what's on her mind.
 

Why Courage The Cowardly Dog Was Totally Messed Up.

If anyone else watches cartoons you might have heard of the Cartoon Network show Courage the cowardly dog. The series ran from November 12, 1999, to November 22, 2002. Let me start out by saying this show scared the crud out of me when I was younger. I was absolutely terrified of it. Now that it's recently been added to Netflix I can finally see why this show frightened me so much. 

To start out the first episode is about a cat that runs a motel in the middle of nowhere. An elderly couple comes to check in at a motel at the end of their vacation with their dog Courage. We quickly learn that Courage is ironically cowardly to have such a name. 

Not only does this cat talk and have a general creepy disposition, but it's motel rule is no dogs allowed. This ends up as Courage having to sleep outside away from his masters Eustice and Muriel. The creepy cat also mentions that nobody leaves the Katz Motel alive.

Now for the reason that nobody leaves the motel alive, GIANT FREAKING SPIDERS. These giant spiders feed on people and crawl through air vents, shower heads, and are ridiculously hard to kill. These spiders are like the cat's pets that he feeds customers. He lets them out at night to feed on the guests and of course has one for their pets as well. This cat is pretty messed up.

Courage now has to play some kind of wall-ball in competition with the cat to save his masters which actually fair very well on their own. Muriel beats down a bathtub spider and knocks out the cat to then leave the hotel with Eustice still fast asleep.

And let's not add the fact that the room number is 666 1/2. This show is written right from my nightmares.

Entry #5: This Is Really Gross.

First off learning what pink slime really is will not only ruin your appetite for the next few days, or months.

What actually is pink slime? Apparently it is a mix of the meat and bone leftovers of the cow after it is slaughtered.

These leftover parts of the cow are usually found in dog food due to the fact that dogs have better stomachs than we do.
The leftover parts are then subjected to a process that involves getting all of the meat parts from this bone/meat mixture. The parts are literally beat  together until the meat falls off.

After the meat has been salvaged it is then washed in an ammonia solution to kill off all the the salmonella and e.coli  that has now formed on the meat. A household chemical is used on meat intended for human consumption.

 Now think about the fact that this Pink Slime is allowed by the USDA to be in your food. The food you eat everyday.


This causes a major freak out. First is the feeling of panic because now you are considering starving to death. Currently your main concern is that this Pink Slime is bad and it's in 70% of your country's meat. A question comes to mind that "how do I avoid this Pink Slime?". There has to be a solution to this problem, right?

The first option is to maybe buy your meat from an actual butcher to insure where your meat came from. This process is quite pricey and time consuming to say the least. What I got from this information about pink slime is that I personally don't know of any butcher's in my area but I'm sure I can substitute grounding my own beef.
