Long story short, there have been multiple Urban Dictionary searches today.
4:20 because today is, and several of us in the lab were speculating why the hubbub. We knew it had to do with smoking, we knew it had to do with after school, but the specifics were unclear. We're a bunch of science nerds, and neither Holly nor Val were there to illuminate the issue. (Not that they participate, but they both have tons more street cred than me. That's fine.) This was one of those terms that you type directly into urban dictionary as an outright google search may be pretty dicey.
Mansplaining was another Urban Dictionary search, as it was referenced here, and i hadn't heard of it. This one WAS an outright google search, but the most creditable (ie. recognizable) hit was for Urban Dictionary. This one is a little close to home, with all of the recent hoopla over contraceptives/birth control/womens' rights and the curious lack of female representation in several instances. Mentioning this to my labmmate Ryan yielded this clip from the Daily Show. Gosh.
Finally, we come to recombobulation. Apparently the area just past the Security checkpoint at Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee is labeled as the Recombobulation Area. Fantastic.
Oh, posting it here for whomever wants it, a recipe for deconstructed Brussles sprouts slaw. Trader Joes sells Brussels Sprouts in a bag. This is important because you can steam them directly in that bag surprising quickly - cut a small vent in the bag, and microwave 3 minutes. Let them cool a few minutes, then open the bag, trim the sprouts as necessary, halve or quarter them, and dress them with an emulsion of a 1:1 olive oil and vinegar, then season to taste. Mine last night were Cajun seasoned. i ate a good half of the bag, then put the rest in the fridge overnight. They're even better today, cold.
