I'm Not Not Licking Toads by Raymond Luxury Yacht

September 22nd, 2006 7:16 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: In the spirit of the Flickr phenomenon "good for licking", find out what things in San Francisco are Good For Licking. Lick them.

Document your findings.

Today I did some licking. Many local objects were licked. I have recorded their lickability on a scale from bad to good. Lick lick lick.

Heinz Spotted Dick (canned): bad

I just know that the contents of this tin are evil. I could feel the evil through the can wall. I can't face the horror of licking it directly.

Straight Razor: good

This is an heirloom. It is good for licking so long as you are respectful of its boundaries.

Rye Whiskey: good

Rye is always good for licking. I licked it several times. Then my tongue went numb.

Cactus: bad

Honestly, this could have ended worse than it did.

Potato Plant: good

What a friendly little plant we're growing! Quite good for licking.

Strawberry Begonia: good

The perfect height for easy licking.

Ninja: good

If you can catch a ninja, and it is clean, give it a good lick.

Butterfly: ???

I tried to lick the butterfly and failed. I need a butterfly tongue.

Butterfly food: good

Butterflies are not fools. They lick things that are good for licking.

Fire hydrant: bad

I wonder how often the city cleans these things, sheesh! Not good for licking. Yucky.

In conclusion, I claim that, assuming butterflies are good for licking (which I believe them to be), we have irrefutable scientific evidence that 7 in 10 things in San Francisco are good for licking. Just be careful in your selection!

Now that's thinking!

With a mind like that, you could really go places!

The last thing I licked was Agent Caroliney Pants. Her face is indeed good for licking, but this comes at a high, high price. Sadly, attempting to document this procedure would probably have been my last documentation attempt.

Freaky! Some people have actually ... eaten this? Maybe I can make a cocktail with it.

The brandy spotted dick. Spotted dick sidecar. Purple spotted dick. Hmm...

Spotted Dick sounds sort of good

Wikipedia:

Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding, containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots), and dick may be a corruption of the word dough. It is also known as Spotted Dog, Plum Bolster, and Spotted Richard.

I speak for Britain when I say +1

in this particular instance, wiki lies. especially popular? in comparison to what? flogging? I have never eaten said pudding and have never seen it on a menu in any restaurant or cafe on this fair isle. I believe it is only served to people who cannot escape it, such as those in boarding schools, OAP homes, prisons or barracks.

I hope you have continued to lick things in an experimental fashion during your absence from SF0 Mr. Pie.

I'll ask around about the flogging next time I'm over there, I'm sure I will make many new friends. The shin kicking is hilarious! I used to see boys doing that in the playground at school, I had no idea that they were conducting an intensive training programme for a potential Olympic sport. Here's hoping for 2012!
