Posted on entry Chili-Dog Casserole ::: October 17, 2009, 09:25 PM:
OK, here is the recipe for my mom's dip that I could cheerfully eat all the livelong day--even though I'm vaguely embarrassed by it.

Take:
1 can of cream of mushroom soup (I KNOW. I KNOW.)
1 block of cream cheese
Some chopped scallions
Some garlic salt
Some paprika (for some reason, my younger sister and I were obsessed with paprika when we were kids. Please don't ask.)

Unwrap, unjar, and throw the comestibles in a food processor. Give it a whir until it all comes together in creamy unholy goodness.

Serve with Fritos. Do not attempt to serve this with anything but Fritos. For some reason, only Fritos will do.

Another time I will write down the recipe for my mother's other favorite cocktail snack, which was basically scallions covered in cream cheese and lunch meat. And yet we thought my mom was a good cook! GOOD LORD!

Because they didn't put the diacritical mark in "café," I read this out loud as "Lutheran Halal Kay-ff." Somehow that's even better.

Glad I saw it here--I screamed out loud at the end of the Pentagon protestor sequence. Yipes.

Bruce Cohen @ 32:

the dick to doc ratio

Upon reading this, I sang: "Too many dicks in the OR!"

I would like to point out that so far, there's no one on any of the comedy shows that can do a good impression of Obama. Granted, that affects neither Stewart nor Colbert, but there you go.

This is the one scene that can send my husband into hysterical fits of laughter no matter how many times we've seen Grail. And, then he sings this song for the next five days...

Will there be Moxie for sale?

See, I prefer the bread heels, because then I can rationalize away that it's not a "full" sandwich.

In other news, I am never, ever getting my weight under control, am I?

Whoops, sorry for the double post, y'all.

I think my favorite moment is when a group of folks rushed in to dance with Matt, and someone fell on his can. My favorite, because if I was ever participating in a project like this, guess what would happen to me?

Excellent video.

Posted on entry The internet filters! They perform inadequately! ::: June 18, 2008, 02:22 PM:
Michael @50: New keyboard, please. Nu, you'll send?

For everyone who refs "Irving"--I had that record as a kid. I did not know until I was 27 years old that it was a parody of another song. Made for a long discussion between me and the husband, let me tell you.

I think it's the angelic chorus in the background that gets me every time with this ad...

I, myself, would like to announce that I am the Rabbi of the Internet.

Xopher @3: OMG I love love love that movie. "Keep the pack, I just quit!"

Is it OK to use this thread to ask Mr. Scalzi for use of his Tardis?

O frabjous day! Just bought it for my niece who turns 14 today...

#75, Xopher: No free ice cream. More like dastardly niece with the
Girl Scout cookies. DON'T STAND IN THE WAY OF MY THIN MINTS, ELSE I'M
GONNA CUT YOU!

A-hem. Don't know where that came from. Truly.

OK I'll be the first cranky one:

Folks! Stop being so great and launching awesome web sites--I have to get stuff done at work!

Please, people, won't you think of the PRODUCTIVITY?

For those of us with teeny weeny shredders who can't stand up to our big hefty to-shred piles: at home shredding services, or drop off shredding services. Best $35 I've ever spent in my life. EVER. Check local listings!
