My god, his stuff is still out there! I know I wasn’t on a cruise, but when the post mentioned Norwalk, I had to go check if the Carl Winter stuff was still around. My friend who knows about dear ol’ Vincent the Christmas Virus hitting Steve and I sent this lovely post to my …

Stumbling Into 2025
I don’t think I’m quite as sad-sounding as that AI-generated guy is, but it still has a note of truth to it, and it made me giggle, so it’s the soundtrack for this post. Also, side note: Did anybody else hear that Auld Lang Syne song as a kid and think “What? Old Anxiety?” And …
Cicadas, Domino, and You
I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …
At Least He Was Keeping Himself Clean
It’s totally a stereotype and I know we’re all supposed to be better than that now, but be honest with yourself. When you hear a name like Giovanni Impellizzeri, you probably have at least one of two thoughts: That’s a mobster. I bet he could make some pretty good food. I can’t speak to that …
No No No No No No No No No No No…Baaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrfffffffff…No No No No No No No No No No…
Please, for the love of the sweet baby Jesus, tell me that this is not in fact a thing that anyone outside of freaks and maniacs who really want to be interviewed by a magazine is doing/has done. There aren’t many times when I want the media to make up a trend, but if the …
Diabetes-Inspired Dream Donuts?
Everybody sing. And a 1! And a 2! I just heard about Tim Horton’s dream donuts. I haven’t tried them yet, but I was curious what they’re all about and whether I should. I’m still kind of curious about them, but they remind me of the Creamy Chocolate Chill from days long ago, and the …
It’s Better Here, If By Here You Mean In The Garbage
I feel like this might be a good time to break out a tune I learned from one of the nephews. Do you like cereal? Yes I do! Do you like Frosties? Yes I do. Do you like limited edition frosty breakfast cereal born out of a partnership between Wendy’s and Kellogg? Highly fuckin’ unlikely, …

Eat It, Boneless Chicken Wings
I’m glad there are still folks out there who are willing to stand up and take on the big issues. Seriously, what the hell is a boneless chicken wing anyway? It really is just a damn nugget, and most of the time it’s not even a very good one. Thank you for speaking out, Andrew …
Today In Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should: We Almost Had Cranberry Sauce And Mayo In The Same Jar
“I have a really terrible idea,” proclaimed Patrick Kelleher one day in 2008, “and I want everyone to know that its mine.” And so it came to pass that a patent application was filed and Cramonnaise came dangerously close to being born. Abstract Two popular food items, mayonnaise and cranberry sauce, are mixed together to …
Milk Is Amazingly Gross When You Can’t See What It’s Doing
Steve’s naked singing milk-drinking guy made me think of this milk commercial, and some thoughts I had about it. I’m sure what’s happening there is there is a waterfall of milk and maybe a cow off to the side mooing. But that is not the image that the sound conjured up for me, who couldn’t …
