Was just talking to my friends about the first time we heard "My Name Is." On MTV, when they played music, in 1999.

Actually, I think it is more that the conclusions presented here are simplified. First, the study did find that cooking from scratch, in the absence of being a cooking show viewer, was associated with lower BMI. Second, it's a cross-sectional study, which means "in this group of people, at this point in time, this…

I mean the only way it makes sense to me is if watching Paula Deen just normalizes extra butter for you and that ends up being how you always cook. But is it just me, or do people who like to cook use recipes from Paula Deen and the like for special occasions and fun experiments, but not usually in their normal…

Good Eats with Alton Brown kind of does that for me. I've never liked to cook—it's just not that interesting or fun to me. It still isn't, but Good Eats appeals to the nerd in me, and I see how cooking can be like a science experiment. Plus, the recipes aren't these big spectacles. Just like, "This is a chicken. This…

dear michelle,

I beg to differ.

hahahahahaahahahhahahahahaaaa

"Waiter! Bread sticks! And there's a small fleck of cheese on this table. Have it cleaned. Chop chop!"

The other day I witnessed a mother grabbing her (13 year old?) son by the front of his shirt and saying "don't you EVER do that again" for being snotty to the cashier at a coffee shop.

I used to bartend with a guy who just did not give a fuck. A customer ran up a rather large tab buying drinks for all his buddies, got good service, and then proceeded to leave a quarter on the bar as tip. My coworker grabs the coin, loudly says "excuse me sir, you forgot something!", and then whips the quarter at the…

On a grill??? Ugh, the default smugness of assuming the person you're talking to is stupid...just...how do people raise such entitled assholes and not feel like failures as parents? What a twat. This is the kid who will get crappy delivery in college and his car egged as an adult and still think the problem is…

Two points came to mind in this weeks column.
