Online news can be problematic
The story is sad: the editing error is amusing.
Wailing and gnashing of forks
Mangia, the best Italian restaurant in the region and definitely the best within a two-mile radius of my house, is closing. I didn’t go there as often as I would have liked. But that’s because I’m poor. I had a dish there involving ravioli, goat cheese, vegetables, and an alarming number of …
That old-time sugar-coated religion
No, it’s not Passover yet…and you can tell because I haven’t done my annual stocking of cane sugar Coke.
However, I had to share the Ten Plagues, in Peeps.
à chacun son chemin
One person’s “amusing oneself while home alone on a Friday night” is perhaps another person’s “cruelty to animals.” I assure you, though, that Dreamie was having a lot of fun. I was cleaning the fishtank, which is next to her cage, this evening, and she spent the whole time begging me for attention.

HA HA!! Sigh.…

I need to screencap Rob Riggle’s green screen upfront where it said “LIVE: ALBANY, NY.” It was deeply amusing, maybe only to me.
Serve frozen, with a side of bacon
I was walking through the bread aisle at Hannaford looking for onion bagels today, when I spotted first one loaf, then an entire shelf of loaves, of…Canadian White bread.
Canadian? What does that mean, in the realm of bread?
Help me solve this mystery, Internets.
I miss my babies
I ended up keeping a different hamster, Zach. We bonded, and he had such neat markings that he ended up being The One.
The cream-colored boys, Chester and Creampuff, found fantastic homes, where they’re now named Pooh Bear and Creampuff respectively. I’m very confident in the quality of everyone’s home except perhaps Violet Jr., one of the …
