I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

The 2008 IgNobel Awards are out!

I like this one:

LITERATURE PRIZE. David Sims of Cass Business School. London, UK, for his lovingly written study "You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations."

This one is wrong:

NUTRITION PRIZE. Massimiliano Zampini of the University of Trento, Italy and Charles Spence of Oxford University, UK, for electronically modifying the sound of a potato chip to make the person chewing the chip believe it to be crisper and fresher than it really is.
REFERENCE: "The Role of Auditory Cues in Modulating the Perceived Crispness and Staleness of Potato Chips," Massimiliano Zampini and Charles Spence, Journal of Sensory Studies, vol. 19, October 2004, pp. 347-63.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's good news. Now I have to start worrying that if things get too good there, the tide will swing back to McCain!

ETA: I mean the news about the Dow, but the thought of the Ignobels affecting the election is amusing me no end.

The kids are partial to colby and I like sharp cheddar.

Sharp cheddar is the best cheddar. The kids like sharp cheddar as well, especially if it is shredded.

t solemn voiceover

Can you trust President Jesse on the vital cheese questions of our day? First she says she's for plastic cheese, now she comes out in favor of liberal frou-frou cheese. What gives?

President Jesse. Wrong on cheese; wrong for America?

Dammit, now I want cheese.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mostly, I just think that different times call for different cheeses. I would Not Be Pleased if I went to a wine bar and ended up with Kraft singles, but I'm also not going to make a grilled cheese sandwich with manchego.

OK, what's funny is that was a crosspost.

What if you are having cheese with Mad Dog 20/20?

Punishingly Intricate

I think that will be my new tag line.

so true!

For example, good cheese does not belong in my Tia's Cheese Devil. Only velveeta does. But for my cheese course at the fancy-pants French restaurant I want fancy-pants cheese!

I think a better campaign line would be "I think that difficult times call for bolder cheeses"
