Yeah - I knew that. Like the syrup.

You're thinking of either the Freeport or New Berlin (IL) Pretzels...

Freeport - that's it. Good friend went there. He said opponents at fb games would crush up bags of pretzels to taunt them.

Appleknockers.

I'm giggling and I'm not quite sure why.

Hey - it wasn't my mascot* - and at least it's original. I think it has something to do with that area being referred to as "Little Egypt"? Anyone? The worst mascot I've ever heard of is a HS mascot in Springfield (I think) IL - the Pretzels. That and the Sand Crabs down in Port Lavaca, also HS. -TL

I had a friend in ls whose high school mascot was the Kewpie Dolls.

And how do those differ from your mascot, the Inflatable Dolls?

Kewpie Dolls' lips are pursed tightly.

Mrs. Chef just called to let me know that while she was in the airport, and I was at home, she saw Pamela Anderson in person. Mrs. Chef has an amazing propensity to see people, activities, and things that I would like to see, but that she does not care to. I think that she takes great pleasure in telling me when she does see them.

You would love to run into Pamela. You would love to run into these other celebrities. You would love to see the activities. Yet, ironically, it is Mrs. Chef, who has no interest in any of the above, who runs into the celebrities and sees the activities. This, however, is one of those situations where it is not becoming to use the word irony. Instead, when hearing this story, the proper response is to raise your eyebows slightly and say, "Huh."

but Flower. why would anyone not want to see celebrities? I do not understand. If this person immune to our starmaking media?
Is it jealousy? enuui? fear of crowds?
Do you not need to know this before you can recommend a response?

You shouldn't be trying to out Coltrane like that. . .

I realize that I may lose my hip indie music cred for admitting this, but I like Liz Phair's new album. Even if it is more radio-friendly (said in a derisve tone) than, say, Exile in Guyville. Uh, other than the fine "H.W.C.," that is. (I was reminded of liking the new album because I just saw the ESPN women's basketball commercial that uses a portion of "Extraordinary.")

In other news, after watching the Leafs bitch-slap the Flyers last night, I have decided that they will win the East, and will face the hated Red Wings in the finals. If Ed Belfour's back holds up, that is. Now that we can assume that my beloved Rangers will not be in the playoffs this year, I may even root for the Leafs from the get go.

And to combine the two topics, was there ever any confirmation of the rumor that Alanis wrote "You Oughta Know" about some Leaf player? Or was it Joey from Full House?

My God. You'll suck any dick or lick any ass, won't you?

PLF, your use of the word "ironic" in that sentence is not at all gramatically correct, let alone stylistically proper. I'm shocked.* Please try and do better in the future.


*That is ironic.
