So my dad saw a bottle of avacado oil in the shop, and grabbed it to give it a try. I put some on my salad today and whoah! It tastes really, really good! Waves better then olive oil!
Unfortunately, also like 7 times the price.
But, yeah. I had never heard of it before, and though it was pretty cool.
So, uh, yeah. I was so bored I tried to cut my own hair today. People have been laughing, though...

I've always felt avocados were underappreciated. Properly made avocado icecream is surprisingly good as well.

The reason why it's so expensive is that they have to squeeze 6.022×10^23 avocados to get one litre of avocado oil, It's refered to as avocado's constant in the field of pear shaped fruits.

Quit molesting the real origin of the term!

I never really understood avocados.
Why would i eat something that looks like a fruit, but tastes like moisturizer?
But oil? That somehow sounds like it makes sense. Gotta try it someday.

While in Chile I ate just about an avacado per day. I had half of one on my toast for breakfast and then the rest on sandwiches and in salads for lunch and dinner.
the paltas, as they are called in Chile, are really fucking good (and good for you, too).

About us? Not as much as our fellow mountaineer, the extra great super leading of perfection:
Actually, funny story. When my dad was the dean of Otago University, he used to receive copies of Kim Jung Il's books in the mail, from Kim Jung Il. Aparently everyone that "Made the list" in acadamia (ie the head of any half decent university) would get them for a while. He kept them, but then when he moved to America he decided to ditch them, since he had heard stories of people being kinda kicked out of the academic circles for being a commi, and he didn't want anyone to (wrongly) think him one.

Apparently he averages 4 to 5 hole in ones / game of golf he plays.
He also scored 300 in his first game of bowling!

I'm not a big fan of avacados, and this image has nothing to do with it.
