The calmest, coolest hip cat around

I don't think I've ever seen a cat so utterly calm. Be sure to stay onboard until the end, to hear the owner's comment, and the pet's response. So cute.

Blog Alert: This is why you're fat

Just a bookmark for you, when you really need to feel virtuous. I made 11 loaves of ABin5 Bread in one week, until I got one right (we have lots of croutons at my house) and I felt completely carb toxed. That's not a word, but you know what I mean. Yeast Poisoned.

Then I saw This is Why You're Fat and felt much better about myself.

Stuff Which Cracks Me Up: Zombies

Whoever these pranksters were, bless them, for giving motorists a hearty chuckle or two, on the way to work. Local officials were not amused, but, I was.

Can someone explain this?

Why is there such an idiotic obsession with being "first" in a comment field on any blog?

First! Yay!

First! Whoo hooo!

I'm talking news or "waste the day filler" blogs and such -- not necessarily food blogs where honestly, I've never seen this problem crop up. Who gives a flying donut about First Comments? Is life so meaningless for these people that typing "FIRST! WooT!" on a post asking whether we are shocked that Clay Aiken is homosexual, is cause for celebration? Invariably these people say nothing else. Have they nothing to contribute to society?

I read a "blog rule" on another site which made me nod in approval:

"On many sites, such as [omitted], it is a tradition for the first commenter on a new thread to post a message of 'First' or similar. That tradition is not followed on [omitted]. Posting a 'First' message here is likely to get your comment hidden (see Rating Comments below) and/or yelled at."

Good! By the way, the humor of anyone typing "FIRST" on this post wouldn't escape me, so I beat you to it. Stay tuned ... tonight is Cream of Mushroom Soup for the Barefoot Bloggers Group!

An Open Letter to Nabisco

Dear Nabisco:

Regarding your decision to offer Triscuits in Deli Rye flavor, complete with toasted caraway seeds, which product I just discovered, purchased, and ate for lunch today ...

THANK YOU. I am in love.
