Parliament - Ride On
Don’t think for a second that I forgot it’s Funky Friday. Because I didn’t.
I know it sounds sexy, but before you apply your tongue-moistened fingertips to your stiffening nipples, know that ‘wet purr’ is not a pleasant thing. A few times a week, between 4am and 5am, my cat vomits. After my awesome beautiful superhero wife gets up and cleans it up, the cat jumps on the bed, climbs on top of me and purrs. But it isn’t a normal purr. There’s a drippy, dank quality to it, and it is accompanied by the occasional gulp or hiccup. And he’s apparently most comfortable doing this when his muzzle is within an inch or two of my face. I try not to sleep with my mouth open.
I’m Dancin’, I’m Dancin’!
Beastie Boys - Flute Loop
King Crimson - Indiscipline
This song is for everyone who ‘accidentally’ bought more halloween candy than they needed and spent yesterday ‘suffering’ the consequences.
I wish you were here to see it!!

Winchell’s Donuts - Halloween record.
Back in the ’70s, Winchell’s sold a Halloween record for kids, pressed on a clear flexi-disc. This record really scared five year old me, and when I found it recently, I had to digitize it. It’s only 7 minutes long, so I added John Carpenter’s Halloween theme at the end.
Listen at your own risk. If you end up shitting your pants, or even just sharting, I am not responsible for your laundry bill. Well, I am, but I’m not paying for it.
Things wot I bought today.
There are a number of things I love this time of year. The four ‘P’s - Pumpkins, Pomegranate, Persimmon, & Pear. Beer and candy are always good, but the festive twist today makes ‘em feel ‘special’. However, the thing I love most this time of year is Xmas. That’s right, Xmas. And the fact that I found egg nog today, already, means it’s gonna be a good season.
I love Xmas so much, I told the wife we have to start watching Xmas movies every week starting NOW, before it’s too late to fit them all in. So tonight we’re watching “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, just to fit the holiday. And I swear, if any fucking kids come knocking at my door, interrupting the movie and asking for candy, there will be hell to pay. By ‘hell’ I mean egg nog and by ‘pay’ I mean guzzle.
Funkadelic - Get Off Your Ass and Jam
Here are the lyrics, so you can sing along:
Shit. Goddamn. Get Off Your Ass and Jam (repeat)
Sorry I haven’t been around here much. I keep forgetting Tumblr exists. I’ll probably write something about why I’ve been so distracted, and maybe even post it. In the meantime, just to keep me in the habit of posting at least once a week, I’m introducing Funky Friday here at Apethink.
Because if you’re too busy to get your funk on, you’re doing it wrong.
More recently, I made a mojito.
Like 15 minutes ago. And I sucked it down so fast I got a head rush. The key isn’t necessarily the quality of the homegrown lime or mint, or even the excellent rum by Mr. Matusalem. I sweetened it with motherfucking Hennessey maple syrup. Are you reading me? Hennessey. Maple. Syrup.
Then I cooked it.
Okay, OVER cooked it. Fuck you.
And when it was done, it looked like a pile of food!
Oh, and then I ate it. The wife opted against it.
Next, I smashed it all together (and laid on some more cheese).
One day, I decided to make macaroni and cheese pizza.
I used a ball of pizza dough. That’s what you make pizza with!
I made pesto with basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil.
I cooked some macaroni and mixed it with butter, milk, gruyere, and fontina.
I sautéed some veggies: zucchini, red pepper, spinach, scallion, garlic and mushrooms.
