I'm running to the Shoppers Food Warehouse, myself.


Mmmm, processesed cheese food product.

My brother has a recurring fantasy of eating only food from Job Lot for a year and then writing about it.

Is anyone else feeling queasy, or should I go to CVS at lunchtime?

That went around my office.

I've amended my perfect junk food.

Instant Ramen. The Top Ramen. Oriental Flavor.

If anyone else out there reads the wedding announcments in the NY Times just for the hell of it, you may have caught this one, from which we learn that the bride was the inspiration for the Man Hands thing on Seinfeld. I wonder whether it would have made it into the story had she been the inspiration for the woman who wore the bra.

Now I know why sitcom writers think that the viewing public will find the hot wife/schlumpy or geeky husband combination to be believable.

Another food poll topic (I was going to post this even before I saw Coltrane's most excellent inquiry, the answer to which is, of course, after):

What is nature's most perfect trashy snack?

My vote is for Combos. Those things are disgusting. And perfect in every way.

Chicken in a Biskit crackers. I used to eat them by the box. I have finally reached the point where I don't even see them in the store anymore.

He is only 36? Yikes.

It seems hard to believe that guy is 36. He looks closer to 60.

Or what Nox4 said.

Hot wife?

That is what I said when I read it when it came out on Sunday. I thought it was a misprint. They both look older, frankly. and she's not hot. she's simply much more attractive than he is.

Relatively speaking, perhaps. I note you can hardly see her hands in that pic. Probably best.

I didn't mean to subject them to being rated.

Besides, you're all just jealous. Theirs was a passion that simmered for 18 years, while they dated other people and pursued other things in different parts of the country.

(I thought the typical platonic college friends "if we don't meet anybody else" deal was triggered at 40.)

I thought those were cat treats.

Okay, I'm trying not to split hairs here, but you stated or posted it as a not hot guy and and his hot wife.

How could that not be construed as rating them in some regard?

There's an early-option if your man, er "farm" hands are featured on national tv, or you puff up to double your college weight.

Judging from the number of rugrats I saw running around last weekend, Vegas has apparently morphed into a very toddler-friendy city. I bet the strippers will give you free lap dances if you bring your daughter to the clubs.

Seriously, I have a coworker with three kids under the age of 8 who regularly takes them to Vegas. It's not that difficult as long as you plan to spend most of your time by the pool (although summertime? ugh) instead of in the casino.

My son went to Vegas three times before his first birthday, and many times since (we meet with his grandparents there -- it beats going to Iowa). It's ok if you keep to one end of the strip, where the Excalibur and other places where no non-fattie-midwestern-adult-without-kids should ever be seen. I've seen the knight show at the Excalibur more times than I care to count (the one where they are in full armor, not underwear).

I worried that his first phrases would be "hit me" and "lap dance".
