What Pulp Means To Me

When creativity and ideas for a daily blog entry run dry, there’s always the Random Word Generator.
Your Random Word Is: Pulp
1) I do not like pulp in orange juice. Not even light pulp. That’s probably the reason I never drank much of it as a kid. I kept wondering what it was and why there had to be these icky-feeling flakes in my juice that would get stuck on my tongue and teeth. Although these days I can order orange juice at a restaurant for breakfast and not be put out by it too much. But at home I always drink apple juice.
2) I do like the British band Pulp, especially the albums His ‘N’ Hers and Different Class. This Is Hardcore is okay too, from what I can remember. William Shatner and Ben Folds did a killer cover of “Common People” from Different Class. Pulp hasn’t come out with a new album in a long time, but lead singer Jarvis Cocker just put out a solo album. It looks like eMusic is going to carry it, so I can download it instead of buying the CD. (BTW, according to this article, eMusic is the #2 digital download store after iTunes. I had no idea.)
3) Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies, maybe even #1.
4) Modern superhero comic books could be considered descendants of the old “hero pulp” magazines/novels. (It’s true – Wikipedia says so.) And you know how I loves me my comics.
5) I’ve never beaten anyone to a pulp, or to mush, or to mulch. Well, I’ve never beaten anyone period. I intend to keep it that way. I have soft, delicate hands that must be protected.
Latre.

Joe & I disagree on pulpy orange juice — I love it, he doesn’t. So I buy the “Grovestand – Extra Pulp” variety of OJ and he gets the pulpless kind.

So you don’t compromise and get “light pulp”?

Quit wasting time with all this orange juice malarkey and cut to the chase – the REAL issue facing our society today involves (yes, I’m gonna say it): peanut butter.
C’mon, chunky style or “communist smooth” – weigh in, people!
