April 25th - Discuss amongst yourselves

What is the most blatant disregard for the five-second rule you’ve ever witnessed or been responsible for?

An ex girlfriend of mine and I were at Tim Horton's (when we were together). I had gone to the bathroom while she brought our food back to the table. I was gone for a couple of minutes and nicely washed up for lunch and everything.

When I got back, she was kind of smirking. I ate my lunch, and then moved on to my muffin. A family of four was sitting next to us, and everytime I took a bite of my muffin, they would all giggle.

Turns out (I found out later) that she had dropepd the muffin on the floor, and it didn't just fall and stop. It rolled around a bit.

So she wiped it off with a napkin and put it on my plate. But it was definitely on the floor for more than 5 seconds, as she apparently was deliberating what she should do, with the family looking on.

I saw someone use the five-second rule with pudding once. Gross.

I have friends that have a ten minute rule in their house.

Drunk, lying down in front of a bus full of high school athletes on the road in front of Halifax's cheesiest bar I ate pizza I either dropped or found in the gutter.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
