Fifty-five years ago this very month, The Highway Commission (Devision? Whatever) of the State of Oregon had a really, really bad idea. An idea that never should have made it out of the room, but somehow, it did. And thank God, a reporter and a news crew got down there to capture the calamity in real time, and then the internet was invented, and youtube, and now we can all watch this whenever we want. And trust us, you want. Once thought to be the stuff of urban legend, we now know that, yes, they blew up a fucking whale. Emily also tries a strange snack, more nostalgic snacks are discussed, and there's a cat. Enjoy!
