Great Bluedini Kool-Aid!

The computer that I called home broke last March, and since then, I've been stealing the woman's comp to do my site-related things. Finally got around to buying a new comp, so whatever I'm doing next weekend for the site should be good. Meantime, there's been a special addition to the Kool-Aid Section I think you've heard of this flavor before: It's Great Bluedini! Fronted by an octopus, with color-changing abilities and a scent that makes the God of Noses share his kingdom, this '90s-era Kool-Aid turned tongues blue and lip-ends northward. Look for a Cereal Prize Project update during the week.

Trevor-
For awhile I lived in a town in eastern Washington state that grew apples, and therefore had many migrant hispanic workers, and many hispanic foods. I remember the tamarind candy having chili powder in it. Is the tamarind Kool-Aid flavored with it as well?

I just think it is interesting that of all the long winded things I posted on this thread, the one that gets noticed is the fact that some of us were born in 1979.

Matt, do you have a wishlist for kool-aid flavors that you haven’t found so that your loyal readers can aid in the search?

BTW, I consider the last picture of the review with the glass pitcher of kool-aid the money shot. I think a photo montage of all of the pictures of pitchers would be awesome!

I’d say I feel like the young one in the room, but it’s only by 3 years. Sure I haven’t slipped out of a demographic, but I have been immortalized in song by artists as diverse as Yellowcard, DMB. The Ataris, and of course Blink. This is the year I’m supposed to be as big a jack@$$ as I’ll ever be. And, unfortunately, I have been.

I’d like to personally atone for every stupid act I’ve committed in the past 3 months :(

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/01/2005 1:03 PM

atone for it by buying kool-aid?

From the article: " That’s not to infer that Great Bluedini rode through the skies on Hollywood’s magic carpet and ended up cleaning vomit for a living at TJ Maxx"
Don’t you mean ‘imply’? You fucking dropout.

Unless you did that on purpose, in which case I feel stupid.

Oddly enough I have been drinking Kool-Aid this year (after about a 15 year or so absence). It hasn’t helped :P

Tastes great, but no powers of absolution.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/01/2005 2:59 PM

I loved me my Great Bluedini. Heck, we might even have a packet or two left somewhere.

Shame that all of the Kool-Aid flavors that were truly special are dead now, though. I don’t want the plain, boring fruit flavors – give me my Incrediberry, my Sharkleberry!

Wyatt:
"Infer" has pretty much the same meaning as "imply". Technically there are subtle differences I suppose, but infer works in this case.

I remember that kids in elementry school would just eat kool-aid right from the packet. You could always tell which kids did it as their hands would be stained, red, purple…etc back in class

Chestnuts roasted by T-Dot @ 08/01/2005 4:40 PM

When I was in high school, there was a girl a grade ahead of me who ate Kool-Aid straight out of the packet. Red finger 24/7. I ran into her recently, and asked if she still did that. Not lately.

RAS, I just tried those chicken sticks yesterday, and I’d place them squarely in the "Eh" region of tastiness. Really, they pretty much were just chicken nuggets in stick form, although BK swears they are made up of only the finest all-white breast meat. They also neglected to include any sauce, a shame, since the box actually has a nifty built-in sauc holder. Anyway, i give them 3 outta 5 stars, something I’d gladly eat if given, but won’t go out of my way to have again.

Gozer:
Yeah, subtle difference such as one is transitive and the other is intransitive. They made a joke about this on the Simpson’s recently. "I imply, you infer."

Hey Gozer, saw in the Saturday night blog thread that you work for Epic….don’t they use MUMPS as a programming language? If so, welcome to the fold…been programming in it for 9 years now.

Chestnuts roasted by Overkill @ 08/01/2005 6:23 PM

Overkill:
Well, apparently it was "MUMPS", but then it turned into simply "M", and now it’s "Cache". I start that part of the training next week so I don’t really know the difference yet, but I think they’re either very similar or pretty much exactly the same. For one thing, on the first day they gave me a book on "M" to help me learn the material. I could be wrong but I think I was told that "Cache" is a propriatary language. Either way, it’ll be my first real programming languge that I’ll have ever learned (not counting BASIC for my Apple 2g or Matlab stuff).

Wyatt:
Wow, I think you just served me. I’ll be careful not to serve you back so it won’t be "on". I guess I thought you didn’t really know the difference between the two words. Roast my toast!

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 08/01/2005 6:43 PM

79 whut whut!

Seriously, thanks for the info Gozer. I usually have like hours between appt’s, so I go "drive around" ;) and I will prob. see if I can find my way to the Westside Woodmans. New and unusual Kool-aid flavors have the potential to excite almost anyone! :)

78. . .anyone? I’m the old one. (yet still 26)

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 08/01/2005 7:57 PM

77 – missed 78 by four days.

Someone told me Tatanka was on Raw tonight? Anyone can confirm??

Chestnuts roasted by emanon @ 08/01/2005 11:45 PM

I’m so sad that I missed my chance to join the Grammar Police. Next time I’m gonna grammar-taze somebody.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 08/01/2005 11:47 PM

And don’t bug me about grammar-taze not being a word. I made it up. Besides, if you understand my meaning then it’s technically a word anyway.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 08/01/2005 11:48 PM

The Manimal: :D

Knegative: Born in 82, were you? So was I.

I may be younger than you, though. My birthday’s coming up this month.

Chestnuts roasted by Night_Trekker @ 08/02/2005 12:38 PM

Dammit Matt! Why must you always make me wish I had my favorite Kool-Aid flavors from when I was a child. There are times when I can’t even read your articles because it’s too damn depressing that I don’t have any of the flavor being reviewed. It’s not fair! :(
