And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did not think it possible to top the other favorite knife block.

How small our dreams were!

I love that recipe, because it turns American Chop Suey on its head! By adding the chili powder.

My people are INNOVATORS!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But what if I don't have the right brand of canned spaghetti?

You are screwed!

Although Mama Rea was a Southern lady so she probably would not have said 'screwed.'

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

Should I get my 31-year-old fiance a PS2 for his birthday or will a video game system totally ruin our lives?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't believe how often American Chop Suey appeared on my childhood lunch menus.

And my great-grandmother probably ate it, too!

I only remember ever having it once as a child. At my parents' friends house in Texas. And I never had the Mexican Chop Suey.

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

Get a Wii! They have a Harvey Birdman game!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Your fiance is only 31? I have no opinion to offer on gift options, just a vague sense of elderly decrepitude and "Oh, you kids, with your newfangled game systems and all."

I had Chun King chop suey (or maybe chow mein?) in a can for many, many a childhood dinner. Really two cans, because you got the exciting extra can of crunchy noodles to sprinkle on top.

Of course, none of us now (including the parent who got the vile glop) can believe we were eating that while living a scant 30-some-odd miles from San Francisco's Chinatown (and probably only 20 from Oakland's). We know better now, is all I can say.
