Barbara's Cheese Bakes don't count as cheese curls? Snack foods are so confusing!

Well, I kind of feel like they might not, given that they're not really curly, they're baked, they don't stain your fingers, and one variety is made with a mix of cheddar and bleu cheese, which just seems terrifically unAmerican. Apparently the study was done entirely in the Midwest, and it seems like a Midwesterner would look on a cheese snack of such dubious qualities with contempt. I think I have integrity anyway, but it's a left-coast elitist organic-snack-eating integrity that probably doesn't count.

It really is an endlessly mockable study.

If me and my date are at the ice cream parlour, we're ordering at least two flavours. And then share. That's the way a good date goes. If I were without a date, and just choosing for me, right now, I'd pick strawberry. And I'm so not a behind-the-scenes team player. It's simpler for me to say what I'd never pick -- mint chocolate chip, banana cream pie, butter pecan, and probably rocky road.

As for the produce aisle, I don't want potatoes or yams or oranges or grapefruit or tangerines.

Okay, sometimes I want oranges, and often I want lemons. There's no point pretending in a forced choice between the rest.

Pfah, sez I.

Humgirl has gone. Good.

food eisle thingy.

Perhaps that person doesn't exist?

The letter Rep. Jo Ann Emerson sent to one of her constituents read like any other a 20-year-old legislative correspondent might prepare for a member of Congress: Thank you for writing, your concerns are important to me, blah, blah, blah. Then came the kicker: "I think you're an asshole."

As someone who writes these kinds of letters, this is my biggest fear! My other fear is using the word "pubic" instead of "public".

oh bunny, you're so cute when you try to be contrary.

Heh. That's one of my fears too....

Yeah, when I worked for an association of certified public accountants, the spelling of "public" always got double-checked. Because of the one time it wasn't.

I imagine all the actual pubic accountants get mad when that happens....

According to my ice-cream and product choices, I am a self-critical introvert.

Are you making that up?!?!??
