Frankenbuddha is a supertaster, like a certain republican president. Here is proof that being a republican is not a genetic predisposition.

Discovery: Working remotely with a corporation takes more keyboard time than working in-house with that corporation. Sure, you can work in your sweats and stocking-feet, with your hair all this-or-that-away and a scrubby beard, but you end up spending more time proving you are doing something.

A former psychotic co-worker was actually the only person I've ever met who had a way to prepare brussel sprouts that made them taste good. Possibly she was the only person crazy enough to try. But they were marinated in a hot mustard-y sauce with cayenne peppers that completely overwhelmed the natural flavor of the abominationvegetable.

There is nothing wrong with brussel sprouts! They're just like little cabbages.

ION, I seem to find myself in a phase. Watched two hours of Nip/Tuck last night, am now watching Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery.

I don't have a degree at all, but if I'd finished mine,

What? You didn't follow Jon Stewart's advice to "Stay in school!"

I've had good brussels sprouts in brown butter.

I like asparagus, but I like it particularly with lemon-garlic-butter.

But I'd eat shoelaces if they were covered in lemon-garlic-butter.

Emmett and JZ are watching the puppy bowl again.

They're just like little cabbages.

When you describe them that way ... they sound like ripened ass.

Cabbage can be good! It''s yum when its soaked up corned beef. Why must people hate the vegetables?!?!1!

Except lima beans. Everybody should hate those.

There honestly are very few foods I can't at least tolerate. And the older I get, the more things I'll eat. So that's good.

I just feel bad for all you poor limited people.

I love cabbage, but my Gram makes "boiled dinner" every St. Patrick's Day, so I may be biased.

I'm indifferent about lima beans. I despise brussel sprouts.

I love vegetables generally.

This is the level of clever banter I have been reduced to after prepping for four hours for the first tax meeting with the accountant tomorrow.

I am sadly not a veggie lover. I try. I try really hard. I'll eat them but I will never have true love for them. Except maybe for pureed asparagus ravioli in a light garlic butter sauce. That I'll love 'til I die.

I'm really a fruit girl.

It''s yum when its soaked up corned beef.

Oh, so you take the ripened ass, and add some freshly stinky feet. Good move.

I just feel bad for all you poor limited people.

Come with Lee and me to sushi some day.
