Favorite Friday night dinner when I was growing up. Grilled Cheese, Tomato soup and Fritos.  

And if you were my German Oma or my high school best friend’s Bube, that applesauce better damn well be homemade. I didn’t have store bought applesauce until I was in college and I was appalled at how bland it tasted.

My kids were the first “SpongeBob” generation, and after endless hours of shows that honestly seemed to dumb down their content to a safe pablum for the younger generation, it was one of the first shows I could sit down with them and actually enjoy. It was absurdist, funny and put in adult humor in a way I hadn’t seen…

That would be great if you always had control over where you have to eat. Case in point—one of my co-workers is celiac, which means its not a fad diet if she forgoes gluten; it will land her in the emergency room of the local restaurant if she eats gluten. Thankfully, most local restaurants clearly have gluten free…

I never was much of a Disney princess fan, but damn I wanted to hang with Mowgli and the gang in the forest of Jungle Book.

Come to my house. I can guarantee lots of food (including a strawberry chocolate tart with an oreo cookie crust) and MST3K.

You’ve obviously talked to my husband aka “I could drink champagne every day and not get sick of it!”. I bought him a bottle of Prosecco the size of a largish baby this year, along with a bottle of Segura Viudas Cava, because if Shea Coulee and Monet X Change say its good...

Yes, permits are a big bitch with most people.  Along with red tags if you living in the Central Coast of CA

This.  And tell her to be glad she doesn’t work for local government.  As soon as I say I work for the County, it seems to bring out a laundry list of complaints about ever interaction they’ve ever had with a government body.  And then I get “Hey my computer is doing this...any idea how I could fix that???”

You’ve hit the nail on the head sir. 

Obviously Bill is such an old man that he’s remembering the 1940s and 50s when COMIC BOOKS WERE EVIL AND LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF AMERICA’S YOUTH!!!

when I posed this question to my male offspring, he said, “No mention of Anton Chigurh?!! I’m surprised he wasn’t mentioned. He is such a quintessential horrifying killer you could see easily existing in our world which makes him even more frightening”

Oh look a double homicide! --Marge Gunderson

Same here.  They were so informative, wry and funny.  

Mole is one of those sauces that honestly you could pour over a dried out flipflop and I’d eat the flipflop gladly.   There’s a place in San Diego that serves a vegetarian mole dish that I hope and pray I can some day eat again. 

Now I was just going to say “Stop being a pretentious dick” but you, as always said it so much better.  Danke.

 Marge Gunderson hands down. (Or ya, fer sure). A while back Kate Beaton did a comic with Marge when the whole Charlie Sheen fiasco went down that still makes me laugh...

Watching Pee-Wee’s Christmas special is one of the family traditions in our house.  Though my son claims the DelRubio sisters are one of the most disturbing things he’s ever seen on video.  

My favorite from my first year was dealing with a gentlemen who said his desktop computer wouldn’t boot up. After spending time on the phone with him, I did a site visit and discovered that he had refrigerator magnets applied all over the case.

You just brought back the Turkey day of my husband’s and my youth—we both came from large families (me, family of 6, him 7) and adding in grandparents and numerous extended families, three tables sounds about right. The siblings on both sides are dispersed throughout the county and its been a long time since we’ve had…
