You can have mine. I've never taken it out of the box.

Random fact
Apropos of nothing other than the fact that the commercial just came on, my high school drama teacher is the guy in the Citibank commercial who thought he was Norwegian when he's actually Swedish.

I like the part about him getting a new sweater.

Exactly. Why did it take some dusty book in the Norwegian hall of records to sort it out? Has no one ever spoken to grandma about where the family came from? Who told them they were Norwegian in the first place? Did grandma just lie to them, because she always hated them?
The subtext of that commercial is a level of familial dysfunction that makes me very hesitant to open a Citi account. |

We have a small fondue set collection, so we can have broth, oil, cheese and chocolate on the table at the same time.
I am the person who buys that fondue pot sitting out at the yard sale.
Raclette, anyone? |

Finnish? I thought you were Mexican?
No. Must unravel EVERYTHING. Pretend it never happened.
I'm telling you -- THE KNITTING CURSE IS FOR REAL!!
Continue at your peril. (I'm a little late for Halloween, but imagine I'm using a really scary voice.)

I think they're both wrong.
He is Finnish. And needs a new sweater knitted for him by his new wife.
NOT his girlfriend. |

Obviously, there is also a problem with unopened fondue sets. |

I'm not perling anything in this particular blanket. I think I should be ok....

Really? Not the recent firing and removal of its CEO and rumors of thousands of layoffs? That makes me feel supremely confident about Citi. ahem.

O.K., I'm just going to say it. I don't love Wilco. I think they are fine. I believe them to be talented musicians and songwriters, but I sometimes find their music to be a little dull.
On a related confessional note, I saw Neko Case live earlier this year. I found that concert to be . . . fine. Fantastic voice. Dark, intriguing lyrics. But musically? Well, it was fine.

Ditto, ditto.
And not that anyone cares, but my favorite new-ish band of the moment is the Silversun Pickups. |

Don't you know it's bad luck to knit anything for a boyfriend? You can't knit stuff for him until you're married. Otherwise, you'll break up!!!!
I can't stress this enough:
PUT DOWN THE KNITTING NEEDLES!!

Where'd he go, anyway? |
