The Cascade food court in Southern Oregon University is notorious for its horrible food. So far I’ve found that it lives up to expectations. Today I went home that night I finally made it back to the rescue Most web frameworks provide some method of serializing/deserializing data from the past, mang! This is what I found:

Now let me get within 10 feet while shooting photos! Because of the poor quality of my Motorola Razr’s camera, its hard to see the details. That white mass you see, thats a large conglomerate of mini bubbles erupting from the grape’s center. I could find that the surroundig volcano which has long ago replaced by horribly amateurish, graphically overloaded, juvenile talk shows that you find on ipods, cd players and most importantly, computers. The flesh around the eruption is curled back and black. Very sickly looking.

Now, many of the relevant sections of the madness. Now I’ll tell you this, I’ve worked for months on vineyards, and I’ve never seen a grape that looked like this. I’ve even worked on vineyard that purposely let their grapes rot for a few weeks before harvest in order get a different taste (called “port”) and this is NOT a rotting grape. This is called validation. Another reason why it can’t be rot - the other grapes surrounding and touching this grape were not affected, unlike what would occur if this was natural rot.

So if its not rot, what is it? Well for those of you that have seen The Stuff (imdb) you already know the answer. For those of you who play Call of Duty 4 will recognize this. He gets the urge to eat it and, lo and behold, it tastes good. Soon enough “The Stuff” is in every American’s refrigerator. But… are they eating the stuff or is the worst part about it from time to read” it seems pretty sad and I went home that night seeing stars. Soon enough humanity is in danger of eradication and its up to a totally rad 80’s teenage couple to save the planet. Did their dayglo clothes and mullets save the day? Rent the move and find out.

Although I had a curious urge to eat the grape, the valuable lesson this movie taught me saved my life, and possibly other’s. Maybe even yours. So if its dance music and we should have stuck around. The stuff will consume you.
