nobody@vox.com(stringbeanlove) — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 10:33:33 -0700

Who is your favorite Muppet? Why? QotD submitted by knitwitology.vox.com. I liked the Swedish Chef for his fearless attitude in the kitchen. He should be on Iron Chef. I think he'd flay a certain Bobby any day. But for pure pathos, one must lo...

Puffs in the press

nobody@vox.com(stringbeanlove) — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 00:38:55 -0700

Hmm. Don't know. Maybe at the Rose Bowl. But here's the most recent - Last night around 10:30pm, in front of the Whole Foods grocery store, some jackasses were sticking a firecracker in a tree that stood in the parking lot. They looked a little o...

More quarters please...

Ms. Pac Man. Tetris. Not very original, I know. But true. And, yes, I did play Tetris in an arcade, as well as in front of the family room tv late at night after everyone had gone to bed. The Wikipedia entry for Tetris is interesting. I like ...
