What is even happening?

How much eating can there be on a dove?

People eat squab, which is pretty much the same thing. I think dove might even be Kosher.

There's some kind of end-of-month report spewing out of the shared printer in my cube, and I've put 2000 sheets of paper in it already this morning, and it's still going.

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

Punishingly Intricate

people dove hunt in TX, they eat them

My uncles and dad used to hunt them. They are like squab. Not much eatin' on them but what's there is good (if you like that sort of a thing).

Top Chef: I'm not sure why Emily instead of Michael. Drama? Or was her dish really that inedible? I had been prepared to like her based on the little we saw in the first couple of eps but her "I hate kids" really turned me against her.

And it was probably through a lot of prompting from the producers but the hammering over the head of "I cook FINE food. I don't know how to do this" drove me batty! Have some imagination!

I've been obsessed about what I would have done with the childhood fave reimagined challenge. My first thought was macncheese but I think fancy macncheese has been done. Maybe tamales.

I just got this on e-mail, and my first thought was sharing it, even if only for the first coffee-themed one.

Dear Coffee,

Was there caffeine in you? Did you commit seppuku on my coat because your lack of caffeine brought shame and dishonor to your family?

Bwahaha! YouTube is being sued by UTube:

Universal Tube, a company that sells pipe making machinery, has embarked on a lawsuit against YouTube, claiming that the video sharing site has disrupted its business thanks to the similarity in the two company's web addresses.

Universal Tube's website resides at www.utube.com, and it seems that plenty of wannabe YouTubers, fluent in text-speak, but less adept at typing out full words, are surfing their way over to the Universal Tube site by accident.

In the suit, Universal Tube alleges that its traffic has soared from around 1,500 hits in a month to over two million because of vast numbers of visitors looking for "lewd and other disgusting video".

This, the firm alleges, has caused confusion, cost it money, and caused lost sales.

Universal Tube owner Ralph Girkins issued a statement saying: "This is an enormous expense and distraction for us. Contact with our customers has been disrupted, so I fear we have lost sales. We have even been contacted by police in Australia accusing us of having child pornography on our website. I resent this personally and this confusion is hurting our business."

Re: Bones did anyone else notice that the name of the pageant hotel was The Hyperion? Hee!

Re: Top Chef I think that inedible food is worse than sloppy food. Oversalting is a rookie mistake. If she was panicked about the lack of flavor, why not add some spices instead of salt? Why not marinate her steak beforehand? Plus, she picked the wrong kind of steak.

It's like in Project Runway, when they say that the construction was bad, it's the kiss of death.

I think that we were being programmed to dislike her. Her comment about the kids and the woman who wanted more sugar in the ice cream was really harsh.

Okay, I don't hate Padma as much as the other chick, and she at least has some cooking cred, but I still don't like her. There's something about her voice or the cadence or something. She talks like she's talking to a child.
