take that, teflon frying pan

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

The Cottage, 2001.06.17

I managed to destroy my grandmother's teflon frying pan. It was the usual thing. I set a pan full of corn oil on the stove, then got engrossed in my game of SMAC. I heard the kind of 'foomp' sound you usually only hear in movies when a fire lights up, and sure enough, I was burning the pan.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
