Alright. Since I may be re-styling my site soon (I'll try to incorporate the eyebrow picture still, but it probably wont be as large as it is now anyway), I figure I should sponsor the Mother of All Internet Contests:
What IS Andy Cooking?
In an effort to gain more attention for my site, and to just be cool, I'm offering a prize to whoever can correctly guess what was in my pot here.
Here are the terms:
1) If you guess what I'm cooking by posting it as a comment, I'll mail you a surprise gift.
2) If you already know what I'm cooking then you're nullified from running. (That is, if I've told you previously, or you've heard the story from one of the other fellas who was there - or you were perhaps one of the fellas who was there. Make sense?) If you somehow give the answer away to someone else, I will know, and you will be punished severely.
3) You have 24 hours to make one (and only one) guess. If there are no correct guesses after 24 hours, the contest is reset and you have a second chance. (This will happen at approximately midnight)
4) There will be no hints.
5) All rules are subject to change.
I will, of course, post the name of the winner and what the winning answer was. If you win, I'll get in touch with you about claiming your surprise gift. Thanks for playing What IS Andy Cooking?, and good luck to you all!
btw i think you look more like bert in the picture.
except bert never smiles like that unless he's cuddling with a pigeon or counting soda bottle caps. so maybe ernie.
Posted by: pedro at September 19, 2003 2:29 AMI also posted this message under the facial hair section of the site...accidentally. Look Andy, we're what some would call homies. Make sure I win this thing. I think you cooking BANANA BREAD!
BAM!,

Posted by: kat at September 19, 2003 11:49 AMKat, I'm afraid you broke the rules by posting multiple guesses. A squad of internet police (that I like to call InterPol) is headed for your house right now. Please give yourself up peacably, no one wants a showdown.
Posted by: Andy at September 19, 2003 12:04 PMWell, I've imported the image from your website and run it through a series of digital filters. I broke it down to a molecular level using top secret government technology that I had to kill a man to acquire. By analyzing the ingredients from the refined image, considering the chemical structure of the substance and projecting the half-life of the black crust on the bottom of the pot, I was able to produce a list of possible substances. I further refined this list based on the fact that the substance has clearly eaten away the tip of the spoon, as well as the subjects's obvious state of altered conciousness. I have determined, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the exact nature of what Andy is cooking. However, the vile nature of this discovery and my own strict moral code demand that I protect society from the contents of this cooking pot at all costs. I will now take my findings, including the itemized list of ingredients and detailed instructions with which any unsuspecting internet user could inadvertantly create a vat of black goo in a misguided effort to make a better crepe, and with them, leap into a volcano. Farewell to you all.
Note: My cutting edge digital analysis was unable to determine whether or not those eyebrows are real. I do have a suspicion about a rare species of Ecuadorian parasitic caterpillar, but this research will also be borne into the volcano with me. Sorry.

Posted by: MacBeer at September 19, 2003 12:42 PMyou're a bastard for not giving certain people a chance. just cause i was there doesn't mean i REMEMBER what was in it. (although the putrid taste will probably be burned onto my tongue for countless years)
revise your fucking contest, bigot!
Posted by: jMONEY at September 19, 2003 12:55 PMYou better believe I remember what was in that pot! I was cooking it just fine until you came over, threatened to crush me with your big eyebrows until I left, then you proceeded to bastardize the living hell out of my delicious food, a meal my mom used to make me as a child! Now instead of fond memories whenever I think of that mysterious food item, I just picture you and your eyebrows... and a part of my soul dies!!
Burn in hell Andy.
PS I like your site!
Andy man, I think you're just making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies brothah. Lookin' at the pic, I see that golden brown of Jif and some richness of chocolate chips. Plus, you're holdin' it close to your face like, "Oh yeah! It's peanut butter AND chocolate! WOOHOO!" And if that white stuff's not marshmallow, then my name's not Ryan. Peace brothah.

Well, because the words on your page are in the way it is difficult to determine what is actually in the pot. And really Andy, do you actually cook? That looks like stirring to me.
Using a wooden spoon makes me think that the pot contains dehydrated black beans -- reconstituted. Of course, most people would guess brownies or cookies. HOwever, that is BAKING, not COOKING.
Cheers,

Posted by: Shane at September 19, 2003 7:54 PMAlright, I USED TO know what was in that pot, but it's gone. I just plain forgot. Damn. At least it means I can participate in the contest. If only I knew whether this was a sweet or a savory substance... My guess: hamburger helper.
