The Old Spice Guy looks like my father. I think I'm going to go have a breakdown now.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Hivemind query - you know those crispy fried noodles that come with Chinese takeout soups in the little wax paper bags? Has anyone ever seen them in a grocery store?
We generally just get them from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, but I'm wondering if there's a good way to get a LOT of them to take to Canada so we can make khao soy up there without resorting to a chow mein noodles from a box.

Man, I wish I weren't working from home so I couldn't have watched Jessica's link and therefore need more therapy.

Coming from you, I feel I deserve some kind of merit badge for that.

Because books.
I've never seen those noodles in a store, Jess, but I'm always dealing with big suburban supermarkets, and not the Whole Foods or TJs kind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm waiting for Emmett and Matilda to wake up so I can shovel cereal into their little baby bird maws and take them to the matinee of Despicable Me.
It looks gorgeous and sunny out my back window. It hasn't been as foggy as usual this summer.

The U.S. Senate voted unanimously late Wednesday to name a post office near Wrigley Field after the late folk singer and Cubs fan Steve Goodman.
By unanimous consent, the Senate gave the go-ahead to the resolution, which was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley D-Ill. and which passed the U.S. House in April in a 371-0 vote, to rename the Lakeview post office at 1343 W. Irving Park Road the “Steve Goodman Post Office Building.”
A Chicago native, the Grammy-winning Goodman died at age 36 in 1984 and is known for, among other things, having written the Cubs-themed songs “Go, Cubs, Go,” which fans sing at Wrigley Field after every Cub victory, and “A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request.”
“While most Chicagoans know him for the song we sing after every Cubs win, Steve Goodman’s contributions reach far beyond the ivy-covered walls of Wrigley,” Quigley said in a statement in March, when he introduced the legislation. “Goodman was one of the most prolific American songwriters and performers of our time whose songs have been played by Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett and John Denver and whose short but tremendous life reminds us how one person can impact so many others.”
