Oh yeah! Hilarious -- I wrote about bodegas. That was an interesting assignment -- we had to go to similar places serving different demographics. So my friend did DD on Long Island and in the city, I did delis in different neighborhoods.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The 130,000 missing inflatable breasts that went astray between China (where they were manufactured) and Australia (where they were to be included as a give-away in a dumb lad's magazine) have been found: they were on the wrong boat and ended up in a box in Melbourne.
Were they addressed to my brother?

Congrats, Chi-town!
Man, I love reading grad school papers.

Does anyone remember the mac and cheese recipe from the NYT a few years ago? Did anyone make it? was it any good?

Does anyone know anything about NASCAR,and if there are any not to be missed books or really good magazines that I might get my brother for Xmas. I would like not to get him a sweatshirt again.
Also, if anyone knows what to get the 12 year old who has everything, let me know. Any great games for the PS2, the Wii, Xbox 360, or PSP? (I told you he has everything.) He particularly like cops or sports games.

To complete the trifecta, of random questions, does anyone know if the kid in tonight's PD is also the kid from Weeds ?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The best racing magazine, by far IMO, is Racer. It's not just Nascar but it's the best coverage.
If he's a Jimmie Johnson fan, there's three-peat merch since it was a really historic season.
Is he near a track? A ticket for a race is good.
God, I am predictable in The Things I Know About.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I never made that recipe personally, Sue, but I remember the comments being very mixed. I like Alton Brown or Cook's Illustrated's mac&cheese when I make it at home. (Or the fancied up Cooking Light version with provolone and roasted veggies, but that one's kind of its own thing.)
ION, my baby is now old enough to eat cereal with a spoon. Sigh!
I think we need to start adding lard to it or something, though - noodle is in the 8th percentile for weight as per our last doctor's appointment. I'm telling him to enjoy it while it lasts, as it is obviously some kind of cosmic oversight and his parents' genes should be kicking in any day now.
