A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was I the only one who found this article off-putting?

It's the Times food section. I think they're generally at least eye-rolly. Oh, speaking of Manhattan food, I CANNOT BELIEVE how everyone is kissing the ass of Degustation. I was not impressed. It's even in the New York Magazine Cheap Eats list! That shit is not cheap!

Who in the hell adds salsa "for brightness"? And if they are referring to something other than color, why in the hell not just say spice or heat, which, you know, makes sense?!

People should not tell me "you're late" when I come in at 9:45. (I usually get here shortly after 9, honestly. But when I don't? I still work my hours.) Especially if I know these are people who are here at 7 and gone by 3:30. I'll just start telling everyone you leave really early. Bitch.

I started at CBS as a "CBS This Morning" intern in 1989 with a little lady called Julie Chen. Julie now anchors the morning show, is Mrs. Les Moonves, and hosts our beloved Big Brother. We didn't discuss "Big Brother All Stars" at dinner, but I went home and watched it after dinner. I am obsessed with Jase and what a jackhole he is. Every move he makes bugs me. Every bone in his body makes my skin crawl. Sometimes I email Julie hate-mail about Jase just because I feel like I have an outlet. She remains ever-diplomatic on the subject. >[link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That was one of the things that made my eyes roll. I particularly loved the undercurrent of, "it's not an authentic taco unless you use expensive ingredients." Oh, really? My ground beef mixture in the freezer called, it said, "fuck you, Mark Bittman."

They don't need to be expensive! You just run out to your local mexican market and get the abuelita there to pat you out some tortillas! Then you whip up some carnitas! Peasant food!

And yet his favorite is from the taco trucks! Which, really, are definitely not from the most expensive ingredients, making it all the more funny.

Whatever. I like the cheap taco.

Recently I made some very tasty tacos with just some beans, jack and chedder cheese, red corn, and tortillas.

Yes. Normally this detail would not bother me, but in this article it just grated. "How do you make a great taco at home? Well, first you get it from a taco truck...."

And the turkey! WTF are you talking about, turkey is "traditional"?!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All domesticated turkeys are descended from a breed that originated in Mexico. I don't know how much they're actually eaten there, though.
