the audacity of pasta

Hi friends/millenium kidz. I've got some more serious issues to turn into dumb blog posts that do not adequately address the seriousness of the issues (cultural appropriation, does art negate the sins of the artist) BUT UNTIL THEN I've made this quick post about pasta to tide you over.

When I'm not blogging (bc I'm a blogger) I am TWEETING. The Tweeter is a really cool site that lets you say stuff in 140 or less characters which is great because that's basically the capacity of my brain. I use my tweeter to tweet about persian rugs, goldfish, and much more. Recently I have been tweeting about the exploitative nature of pasta shapes, and the false consciousness we have been living under. Below is the full tale.




If we've learned anything from this blog post, it is that 1) people who buy particular pasta shapes are delusional and cannot face reality, 2) all pasta tastes the same and 3) I clearly cannot let a joke die gracefully. Note, I wanted to entitle this blog post 'pastacity', a portmanteau of pasta and audacity, but it sounds like a new-wave funk band (maybe a lot of synth, maybe a lot of sauce) so I decided against it. 'Pastastic' was another idea however it suggests I think the variety of pasta shapes are fantastic - this is not so.

So what are YOUR views on pasta shapes? What is your favourite shape of pasta? Are you disappointed in me for not writing an actual blog post? And if you could be any pasta shape, what would you be? (I would be a bowtie because it is indicative of a GOOD TIME.)
