I’m finally catching up on my food blog, after that weeklong service outage. Still need to post the recipe and photos for Sally Lunn, but I do have a couple of entries posted, complete with pictures. One is for hot pepper jelly; the other is for crisp toffee bars. The hot pepper jelly is really […]

Tomoview for Visitation Rights
Posted in Dagstine, Legion of Nitwits, tagged Dagstine, Legion of Nitwits on August 29, 2009 | 25 Comments »
A tipster sent me a link to this Tomoview of Dagstine’s Visitation Rights in comments on a previous entry. For whatever reason, it got stuck in spam, but I freed it. As Tomoviews always are, this is hilarious. It’s always fun to rip Daggy for what he wrote, as opposed to what he might have […]
Comcast Must Die
Posted in Uncategorized on August 28, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Yes, there really is, or was, a blog of that name, run by Bob Garfield of Advertising Age. Technically, there was comcastmustdie.blogspot.com and comcastmustdie.com. The original still exists in archive, but it has moved to customer-circus.com. There was a severe thunderstorm last Friday night, and our cable/internet service died immediately after a particularly loud thunderclap […]
Must Be a Slow Week in Brooklyn Too

Lorenzo has three different threads he started on SL. The birthday wishes to Lovecraft got one reply. I never understood why someone would wish a dead guy “happy birthday,” but, whatever. His thread from yesterday about video games being linked to depression has none. Cause, and effect, Larry. Maybe, just maybe, depressed people, especially those […]
ETT’s on the Ball

ETT has two new entries in response to Pacione’s latest rant, here, and here. You’ll have to forgive Nicky for his outbursts he’s had a rough August. As you know the beginning of August is his birthday, and he’s so unloved he had to treat himself to a White Sox game in Chicago. Using public […]
Imaginary Stalking

The Nickster is back with another Blogspot entry ranting about ETT, and oddly enough, Melany. I feel sadly left out. Monday, August 17, 2009 What the fuck Looks like ExposetheTard is working overtime in stealing my work. I recognize the work the bitch stole and this is going way overboard. Her stalking is driving me […]
TV Ratings Suck
Posted in Uncategorized on August 13, 2009 | 25 Comments »
I know exactly why they suck. Nobody really wants to watch TV, unless they are totally bored. http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/08/summer-of-fail-why-are-new-shows-bombing.html I’m not the only person not bothering to watch TV. Otherwise, the Nielsen ratings wouldn’t reflect that. Bear in mind that I used to work for Nielsen. It’s got its claws in much more than TV ratings […]
Julie and Julia
Posted in Uncategorized on August 11, 2009 | 17 Comments »
It wasn’t a great movie, but it was pretty good. Meryl Streep did a fantastic job acting as Julia Child. The actress who played Julie was so-so. Mostly, she looked a little too doe-eyed. Still, what’s not to like about Meryl Streep? For the foodies out there, I’d recommend this movie. It’s a nice […]
Darn Tomatoes
Posted in food, tagged food on August 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We’ve got six plants of full-sized tomatoes. They have thus far escaped the tomato blight epidemic that’s been plaguing commercial growers in the NE. Two of ours are bush varieties, which stay compact, but the other four need more support than stakes can provide. I’ll have to get cages for them next year. What irks […]
OT: Youth Revisited
Posted in Uncategorized on August 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We decided to visit my parents yesterday, although the real reason for heading home was to pick up a few things from our old house that we still had out in the garage. Mom had to take an antique clock in for repair in the afternoon, so my parents suggested we stop by as early […]
