I'll Salutre That

a: Farting ~
b: a badge of honor

What: "LOL that's hilarious. Yeah in my family, farting is like a badge of honor, but not so much in my hubby's. He's gotten used to it...but the people in Cape Verde aren't so forgiving. I tried the "sneak one out and look around innocently" and they start talking about the smell and where did that some from...it's considered very rude here."

a: Salt lake city ~
b: the Epcot Center of boring

What: "Salt Lake City is like the Epcot Center of boring. It's like one of those cheesy 1950's themed diners, only instead of a restaurant IT'S AN ENTIRE FUCKING CITY! Oh...and good luck trying to get a drink there. It's about as dry as a senior citizen's vagina."

They Should Be There And Be Healthy

a: Bacteria ~
b: wolves in Idaho

What: "Gut bacteria are like wolves in Idaho. If you don't bring in new wolves and stop hunting them, you never again have wolves in the wilderness. If you don't bring in new bacteria and feed them, damaged gut flora does not repair. Antibiotic treatment that wipes out the bacteria needed for development of the suppressive immune system will lead to autoimmune disease."
