Dinnertime Vainly

Speaking of Dina, she recently sent me something that made for an amusing few clicks: The Eater of Meaning, a little application that takes text and effectively renders it into nonsense. See for yourself: Back of the Cereal Box, with meaning completely masticated beyond recognition.

There’s also a few other flavors of nonsense you can pick from.

• Whole words eaten, rather that just word endings
• Just the chewy center eaten
• Eaten and then regurgitated
• Completely eaten
• Chewed rhythmically, though I’m not sure what this one does, exactly
• Eaten with a side of spam
• Eaten with a side of harrrrdtack
• Dabbed with political ketchup

While we're on the subject, Dina also deserves credit for sending me an entirely different sort of what-the-fuck last week: thew news about the father of SNL alum Cheri Oteri having been stabbed to death by his country music songwriter roommate. Very odd.
