   This doesn’t actually work in real life, does it?

2. Andrew Simone on September 26th, 2011 at 6:15 pm

   I don’t know, I’m out of garlic.

3. Joel Bernstein on September 26th, 2011 at 6:16 pm

   I’m out of big lightweight metal mixing bowls.

4. Rich Marotti on September 26th, 2011 at 8:14 pm

   It definitely works.

5. Andrew Simone on September 26th, 2011 at 8:39 pm

   Did I get this from you, Rich? I couldn’t remember.

6. Jamie on September 27th, 2011 at 9:07 am

   Brb, going to the store and buying a dozen head of garlic to peel.

7. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 10:20 am

   But, how often do I peel a whole head of garlic at once?

8. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 10:26 am

   Michael, I just tried it with one clove. It still works. What are we going to hijack Andrew’s post with today?

9. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 10:27 am

   And I did it with two soup bowls.

10. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 10:38 am

    Ceramic soup bowls?

11. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 10:39 am

    Yep, and a single clove.

12. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 10:41 am

    I needed this video last night when I was making kale curry soup. Sadly, someone started chopping up the garlic before I could try.

13. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:01 pm

    Deron, I got busy at I work. Didn’t have hijacking time. But I’m ready now.

    Let’s see yesterday we talked about Tex-Mex and high school football so the next logical step would be…

    Oh, let’s face it, you can’t force these things.

14. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 2:04 pm

    Michael, the next logical step is strippers.

15. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:13 pm

    You know, and I might have said this before, but I’ve never seen a stripper (while he or she was stripping – I did sit across from a former stripper a few weeks ago outside Starbucks. She was talking to her friend – a guy she knew, maybe from her time as a stripper – about her adjustment from stripper to cubicle worker and I’m pretty sure my sister’s roommate in college was a stripper) and I’ve never had the desire to.

16. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:14 pm

    Also, Erica, I believe you’re right, also, like our conversation about Tex-Mex, I can link stripping back to the orginal post which is, essentially, about a garlic strip club.

17. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 2:15 pm

    Oh shit, Michael. We’ve practically got your entire Dallas trip planned.

18. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 2:16 pm

    I find the entire experience, if you follow the etiquette, quite calming.

19. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:18 pm

    My friends from high school would frequent strip clubs in SF the summer after our Senior year. One of them was a classic, ‘the stripper loves me.’ Type patron who over tipped and really thought something might develop between he and the girl he paid to take off her shirt.

    It would have been sad really, if we’d been mature enough to realize.

20. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 2:28 pm

    And they are happy and still together.

21. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    I believe he’s found a new venue.

22. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    Strip clubs have excellent drink specials. I found my former hairdresser at a strip club. She looked like Bettie Page and gave my friends and I a lapdance to Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over.

23. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    See.

24. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 2:42 pm

    There’s a strip club off the freeway near my house that claims to have the best coffee in town.

    They also offer “free DVDs, no strings.” But the sign doesn’t make it clear if the DVD is called “No Strings” or the offer is “no strings attached.”

    Probably both.

25. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 2:50 pm

    No Strings: Extra White

26. Deron Bauman on September 27th, 2011 at 3:02 pm

    The second in a series.

27. Sheila Ryan on September 27th, 2011 at 3:18 pm

    Strings ruin so many arrangements. I generally opt for “no strings.”

28. Erica on September 27th, 2011 at 3:34 pm

    Brown paper packages tied up with string are the only arrangment where strings work.

29. Michael Smith on September 27th, 2011 at 5:44 pm

    My mom wrapped our christmas gifts in brown paper with no strings and I’ll say that the strings are definately optional.

30. Rick Neece on September 27th, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    Strings, tied, are an adornment.

31. Dave Vogt on September 27th, 2011 at 7:12 pm

    The DVDs are blank.
