Chicago's been batting around the trans-fat ban as well. Considering how well their foie gras ban is going (not well at all), I'm guessing they're not going to push it too hard.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Owen's quoting Geico commercials now. DH nearly cried and made me promise to teach him to say, "Life comes at you fast."
This is awesome.

I remember the Christmas a bunch of my cousins and I all tried to teach the first of the cousin-sprogs (who was about 20 months at the time) to say "We bad, we bad" like Richard Pryor (Silver Streak had just come out). We also were teaching him the hand gesture switch of going from the OK sign to a thumbs-up, but when he went from the OK sign to flipping the bird instead, we just cracked up and gave up. His mother wasn't too thrilled with us treating Timmy like a trained monkey, but he was soooo cute chirping "We bad! We bad!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nothing is more fun than training toddlers to do funny things.
In other news, a restaurant by my house has a big sign that they have Ramadan Special Iftar Boxes for $4.99. Is it weird if I get one? I don't know what's inside, but hey -- five bucks!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Jesse, I vote you satisy your value-driven curiousity and get the box. But you have to report back on what's in it, and what the general deal is.
It's educational! And thrify, kind of.

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?

See, that's what I was thinking! It's a cross-cultural value! I bet this is going to be like when I get the Bangladeshi snack mix -- the person behind the counter always cracks up that I'm buying it. Dude, it's teh yum.

He's at the parrot stage where he'll repeat virtually anything I say. Makes life interesting.

Ifar is the feast at the end of the day of fasting, so it's probably food related.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
