That's just weird. Why can't things stay the same??
In other news, I'm watching old NYPD Blues, and Bobby Simone is short of breath. I hate this part. Did people know he was leaving the show when this storyline started?
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

The same number of dogs as buns! Madness!
And the little known 6th Horseman, known as Buns-and-Dogs, swings into the saddle . . .

Now what? Burger buns the same size as the burgers post-cooking?
I'd be happy if they just made the burger buns sturdier--mine always fall apart before you get halfway through the burger. That's why I usually buy kaiser rolls instead of burger buns.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Apropos of nothing, I feel the need to relate the tale of a pastrami sandwich I had one time. I went to my regular deli, and wanted pastrami, but like Kathy was concerned with dripping and falling-apart of lesser breads. So I asked for "pastrami on a kaiser." And the deli guys, Bostonians all, had no idea what I was talking about. I clarified "kaiser roll," and then, when they were still clueless, pointed at them on the shelf.
They said, "Ah, bulkie!" like sages, and made me my sandwich.
So, where is it that people say bulkie, and where do people say kaiser? And how did I not know that the twain do not meet in Boston's Back Bay?

I had to learn a new name for bulkie rolls when I left Somerville -- I had never heard them called anything else.

Chicago area, they're only called kaiser rolls. I've never heard of "bulkies" before!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I've never heard "bulkie" before. I've always heard them as kaisers.

Okay, I've never heard them called "bulkie" either.
Is Chicago the only place that calls them kaisers?

Never heard of bulkies until this very day. And my parents even lived in Boston for 2 years ! (long before I was born.)

No, I think Boston is the only place they are called bulkies. I learned kaiser in Philly.
