"I have 10 years experience with chick sexing and built the Scola Chick Sexomatic, which cut sexing time in half."
Depending on the organization, this could be a plus or a minus.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I don't remembe much in the way of Kraft dinners - we didn't even have macaroni and cheese. However, a lot of my mother's cooking relied on the magic ingredient - Campbell's cream of mushroom soup.
And have I contributed something to the Buffista lexicon?

My ex the medical student and I agreed that Cooking With Soup was a defining trait of a certain working, lower-middle class strata in American culture. (One that we both belonged to.)

We still do for a few things, notably Mom's green bean casserole (with onion rings on top!) for Easter.
"Cultural" must have some narrower definitions, right? I mean, what was "American culture" in 1900 is probably not now, across the board, and what "American culture" is in Texas is probably not what American culture is in Manhattan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tom, is it a big company? I hear tell of computerized resume review, so you might want to make sure you're using the exact words from the listing in your resume and letter.

oh - that's right. Use the phrases, terms, etc., that they've used in describing the position. Someone's resume didn't get through that because her degree couldn't be described in the exact way they had defined.

Last time I assisting in hiring, we only got the resumes, no cover letters. They had gone through HR first, but when they were forwarded to the interviewing team, we just got the resume.

Yeah, it's a very post-war thing, using the new processed foods as a time-saving technique.
The biologists gave me the answer I wanted! Yay!
But OMG so many phone calls and meetings today, and me with my ears still ringing from last night's concert...

This goes back to my grits question. Grits are entirely American, made from a Western Hemisphere plant, and based on American Indian cooking. Most Americans, however, do not have a cultural history of grits for breakfast.
Mmmm, grits... Waffle House turned me on to grits. Love them.
"American culture" is in Texas is probably not what American culture is in Manhattan.
That's why I don't think there is *an* American culture. We're too big.
