Wait why is the salad separating into 3 layers?!

I think you’re right about changing taste, but another big factor Drew ignores is that overall quality/freshness of food has just improved dramatically.

So let’s say the roughly half a million people who signed up to storm Area 51 actually show up and go through with it. Will the US blow them all up to protect our alien secrets?

My first live sports memory is the 1988 Holiday Bowl. I was seven. I didn’t know who Barry Sanders was, and, in fact, waited halfway through the second quarter before I asked my dad “who is the orange man?” He went for 5 TDs and 222 yards on 29 attempts. It’s like his fifth best game that year. He really was this cool…

If he had ended up on teh cowboys and Emmitt was on the lions Barry would have had 25k yards rushing and emmitt would have been a night manager at a bowling alley after 3 years in the league.

Nowhere in that quote does he stipulate which borough of New York would be having a good offseason, so it’s technically prescient.

Many moons ago my girlfriend and I both worked at the same place but on different shifts, so meals together were a luxury we often tried to make time for to varying degrees of success. One particular Thanksgiving we were both looking to pick up that sweet, sweet holiday bonus pay and it played out that she’d be…

So I was going to write about the time my wife went away for the weekend, so I decided, on the first Friday alone that I would order 8 McDonald’s Cheeseburgers on the way home from work.

Thanksgiving of 2003.

Obviously, ramon was a staple in my life, but I’d end up with 2/3 a loaf of bread in the fridge that I didn’t want it to go bad.

In a kind of similar but opposite way, one of the best things I can ever remember eating was an egg salad sandwich on marbled rye from a hospital cafeteria after almost 48 hours of not eating or sleeping.

Condiment sandwiches. Basically when I was in my early 20s and didn’t follow a budget, I could afford a loaf of bread, and sandwich meat on payday, and I tend to always make double/triple meat sandwiches. Cut to a week from payday, I’d blown my entire paycheck and still had a week of living. Obviously, ramon was a…

I spent a couple weeks homeless and living in my car/couch surfing with friends after deciding on a whim to cancel my pending admission and reserved housing at a university and forego the job offer I had in the same town with no backup plan. During that period I would often shower at a local community college and make…

A couple of decades ago I was in the middle of a f*ckton of work which involved a lot of travel across Europe. Was probably away two and a half to three weeks every month, but had a wonderful girlfriend who was seemingly cool with it. After a trip to Paris I came back on a Friday afternoon loaded to the gunnels.…

Stuffed cabbage appetizer at TooJay’s Deli after my mom’s funeral.

Yeah, definitely the packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at Harris County jail. Extra sad is the fact that I had four of them, because that the number the served over the course of 34 hours.

It wouldn’t have happened if he still had Clippy installed.

I’ve turned it off because even when it is right or close to right, it changes my flow of thought. Rather than just thinking out the sentences I’m typing, I’m thinking:

(Houston is already in the Land of Light, by your definition)
