Look at you, implying ScarJo is human! What’s next — she has ten toes and a pancreas and will age naturally like the rest of us???

I think Rashida Jones is very pretty.

Looks like Star Trek got jealous of Babylon 5's gritty realpolitik and decided to play catch-up.

I LOVE a warm soft pretzel. this goes back to being in the Cub Scouts, in the ‘70s. Every year, we would go to see a Kalamazoo Wings hockey game, where I would get an icy Coke and a hot pretzel. Pure Nirvana.

Phillies fans should be glad to live in this country. Can you imagine trying to start a food-throwing riot in a place that only has UN-provided grain and powdered milk? That stuff’s tough to throw!

I had a cheese ‘sandwich,’ today. I say ‘sandwich,’ in quotes, because it was just slices of low-quality kosher cheese placed on matzah. It is Passover, after all, so no real cheese sandwiches on bread (w/ or w/o champagne) allowed. It was truly unremarkable.

Quite a writeup and accompanying photo. Apparently, everything about these burgers is massive and grossly overdone. Except the patty. Six ounces is just unremarkable.

As a child in SW Michigan in the ‘70s, we called them by both ‘eclair’ and ‘Long John.’ Living now, as I do, in Texas, the term is ‘bar’ or ‘filled bar.’

I don’t think the author spent enough time opining the inclusion of massive amounts of flavorless, pathetic iceberg lettuce. On the rare occasion I have had a taco salad, my most lasting impression is that all the meat n’ cheese good stuff is gone too quickly, leaving me with a pile of wet, sad iceberg lettuce and

That comment was there, and I saw it. It speaks to accelerating the ripening of the bananas, themselves, whereas my post speaks to ripening other fruit using bananas.

The author neglects to mention that you can accelerate the ripening of other fruits by putting pieces of that fruit in a bag with the bananas (stem unsheathed). Bananas are apparently prodigious ethylene gassers, with enough for themselves and companions.

While you are mourning the death of the dollar slice, I am just stunned it lasted this long. I haven’t seen the dollar slice since the late ‘80s.

When I was a kid in Portage, Michigan, in the 1970s, several of my elementary school classmates went to Knott’s Berry Farm (which they all pronounced as Knottsberry Farm) for vacation. Learning now that the Farm is in California makes its then-popularity quite surprising, considering that Cedar Point and Disney World

Beef with frosted donuts? Sounds like a bad dessert to me.

What makes you think it won’t die? Looking at Ponderosa, I think it’s more likely it can’t die. Ponderosa has been cursed by the heavens to be forever at a point between life and death.  Ponderosa is cursed for the un-holiness it exudes from its steam tables and beds of ice; cursed for concealing corn syrup and simple

Raspberry Rallys??? WTF??? I would have snapped up several boxes of those, but the young entrepreneurs in front of my grocery store weren’t even offering them. they just had the usual: Samoas, Trefoils, Chocolate-peanut butter whatevers, and Thin Mints (of course). I’m happy with what I did purchase, but I still feel

It’s true, though.  My son moved to Canada after he finished college.  And then he changed,  The shape of his head and mouth, his gaseous output.  All of it is different, now.

I can’t imagine hating these promotions, especially. I can imagine hating marketing, in general. The whole point is to get you to buy something you don’t need. I don’t see celeb meals as being lazier than other marketing. The whole field is for scraping the bottom of the barrel to see what new crap clotted there.

I enjoyed Patton Oswalt’s M.O.D.O.K., without ever having read the comic or knowing anything about the character.

Thanks!
