Today's Theme: Gross

This week's Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt
theme is "Gross", a topic very near and dear to my warped and twisted heart. And what better way to celebrate grossness, than with a collection of gross and bizarre foods?

First, we have MAMA "Shrimp Creamy Tom Tum Flavor". I'm not sure what "creamy Tom Tum flavor" is. It sounds like something that would require a whopping dose of "Berry TUMS flavor" after ingesting it.

Next, we have "Small Fish and Seaweed Soup Mix". Doesn't that look appetizing? For anyone wondering whatever became of "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters", here's your answer!

No, it's not Gil Grissom's collection of mummified bovine eyeballs. It's "Rolled Fillets of Anchovies"! Don't ask me what that green stuff is in the middle, though. Probably some of Sigmund's relatives who weren't quite good enough to be included in the "Small Fish and Seaweed Soup Mix".

Some of The Strange Ways People Find Me

I was reviewing some of the traffic statistics for As the Rose Wilts, and noticed that lately I've received an unusual amount of hits from Google search results. Of course this enquiring mind had to know what people were looking for when they ended up here, of all places. So, I checked and discovered that As The Rose Wilts comes up in the results for the following search terms:

• what not to wear at a dollar store
• Pictures of evil garden gnomes
• warning label Children can fall into bucket and drown (Someone actually searched for this???)
• crotch rope joy heroine (I'm still trying to figure out this one.)
• boys have wieners (DUH!!!)
• "dr. alter" 90210 episodes
• "toilet seat cover" terry blue
• telemarketer prank -"howt o prank a telemarketer" -mabe
• Gary alter buries penis
• "Jewish Millionaire Marries Dolphin"
• diva shaver
  

This is just SO WRONG!!!

You have to see it to believe it, but this is what showed up on Amazon.com when I logged in:
