bloomin’ robots
Last night with C, I had me some quality buffet at “Joe’s” in Fairfizzle, Virgizzle with featured guests Papa H., Tim H. and Marie.
If there was a pizza eating contest, I won it — or so my stomach is telling me this morning. I’m a sucker for spinach on my pizza — much like Popeye [...]
HK & the Wii
Last night on the finale “Hell’s Kitchen”, the feisty “Heather” won the show’s competition, winning her “own restaurant” [WARNING: I just spoiled the show if you TiVod it]
I have strong doubts that she actually is THE executive chef — I imagine there are a couple “consultants” in place to ensure that a 25-year old [...]
“Black R”
From the lawn seats at Wolf Trap last night, it looked like Bela’s shirt said “Black R”
“What does “Black R” mean? Maybe it’s a kind of rum? Maybe it’s some sort of racial movement?”
Anyway, I found a pic from flickr that confirms my eyesight works to only such a certain distance.

who is cookie puss?
Growing up, I always saw Carvel commercials and only recently have been wondering what Cookie Puss was — I mentioned it to C one day and she’d never heard of it and thought it was dirty.
So who is Cookie Puss? What is a “Cookie Puss” — i originally described him as a ‘cat’ made of [...]
wag the dog
Over at zombietime, they have an extensive overview of the “Reuters Photo Scandal” where multiple photographers from Reuters AND other agencies have actually staged photographs and even PHOTOSHOPPED pictures to make them seem much more menacing than they are to American news outlets.
From zombietime:
All of these forms of [photo] fraud have the same intent: to [...]
Giant robot machine imprisons cars
A massive parking-robot machine in Hoboken, NJ imprisoned hundreds of cars in its grips last week for several days. The company that operates the robotic parking facility was dismissed by Hoboken city administrative officials, and their contract terminated — what they didn’t quite grasp is that their robot machine’s software license was about to expire.

Duran Duran have bought a “virtual” island in the virtual-life game “Second Life” and will be performing live concerts there. I can promise you that I won’t be in attendance — both virtually and actually.
But I am becoming increasingly fascinated with the whole “Second Life” phenomenon… that [...]
GG goes to GA
Fri night I saw “Talladega Nights” with C — I’m not really one to see movies after 9pm — (we saw a 10:30pm showing)…the plot and dialogue have to be riveting for me to not fall asleep. I fell asleep during this one…
Sure it had some funny parts — (like the previews before the movie…)
I [...]

sticky toffee awesome
Haagen-Dazs and the Food Network’s “Scoop” held a contest to find the next great flavor …the winner: “Sticky Toffee Pudding”. Hearing about it at first, the title didn’t make me drool — the competing “Cannoli” flavor did that — but then I got chance to find a pint and…
OWWOOOOGA! OWOOOGA! Hummina hummina
