Photos and Corn
Time for some quick silliness before I go to bed.
I haven't posted a photo of Sebastian in quite a while. Here's one of him at a wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago.
I think he was trying to be threatening, in a funny way.
As for the corn, I'll hide it behind an LJ cut, just in case there's anyone out there who doesn't like to look at freshly-eaten corn cobs.
This is probably one of the silliest talents I have. It doesn't really deserve to be called a "talent", actually. "Quirk" would probably be a better word for it.
Anyway, I'm the only person I've ever known or heard of who does this. I eat corn in a unique way. I use my lower front teeth to cleanly take out one row of kernals, and then snap each adjacent row out of their sockets. The kernals come out whole. It's hard to describe, but it means that I get quite a bit more corn than anyone else and virtually none of that cellulose that gets stuck between your teeth. And the corncob that's left behind is extremely neat, although of course it still gets tossed in the trash.
Anyway, we recently had corn on the cob and I amused myself by leaving precisely one row in place and taking a photo of it. Sebastian had never seen that before, I guess, and he thought it was really cool.
But here's the cut.
Just in case it isn't obvious how much neater this method is than the usual way of eating corn, here's that corn cob (with the final row removed) next to a couple of corncobs that had been eaten the traditional way, courtesy of Sebastian:
Incidentally, he was pleased to tell us that the pointy cob looked like a nose, and that the two of his cobs together looked like a rocket.
Okay. This has probably been the single most trivial post that I have ever done or will ever do. I don't know if I should apologize or take a bow.
