GET OUT (best Elaine voice with push)!! That's scary. An old box of crackers being returned and purchased? Can you imagine how OLD that box of crackers must of been if she had been stashing money in it for years? Okay, talking during movies. I also saw TCCOBB on Christmas day. Behind me, two women speculated during the entire movie. "Oh, I hope this doesn't happen" or "If they do this, I am going to be so mad". I really wanted to turn around and tell them to shut the hell up. How do you handle this? I see so many movies, and I cannot for the life of me understand talkers. Telling people to be quiet creates an awkward situation from the start because then they are mad at you the entire movie and sometimes talk louder. If the theater is crowded, you can't move. I love that theaters do the "Silence is Golden" thing before movies now, but for some reason they did not play that and it seemed that there was more chatter. What did you think of the movie?— December 29, 2008 8:20 a.m.

ROCK ON! Very cool. I am listening to Prince of Darkness as I type this. Do you know these guys personally? Barbarella, my nieces are constantly threatening to set up a Myspace page for me. Maybe I'll give it a whirl.— December 28, 2008 10:56 a.m.

Sounds heavenly. DQ knows its market. Next time I drive through Texas, I am going to stop at every single one. Maybe write a story about it. DQ in the Dust Bowl - a Romance Amongst Blizzards and Buzzards or something. Josh, waffles are not my favorite breakfast food. I always went to The Waffle House for the hash browns only. And gravy most certainly has a place on the breakfast plate - if you are hungover.— December 27, 2008 3:32 p.m.

It was the fake wood panel style, but the base color looks to be a bluish-green. I love towns like Apache Junction. Where else can you find a real DQ on a road trip? Apache Junction, of course! We do lots of road trips when I go to visit my sister who lives in AZ. I also like Gila Bend. Weird little place. I love the Space Age Lodge. The Waffle House has hash browns you can get "covered and smothered". Heaven on a plate. Gravy, cheese, onions, chili, whatever you want. The ultimate in trucker breakfast. I can't eat like that anymore, but one can still dream.— December 26, 2008 10:20 a.m.

Wow, anti, that is the trifecta of junk food! I honestly think the Apache Junction DQ is where we saw the 4X4 Pinto Station Wagon - I'm not kidding. I actually have photos! Arizona rocks when it comes to fat pants food. Like the Waffle House. Everywhere.— December 25, 2008 10:09 a.m.
Commercials -- Part II
Tom Bergeron is the host. I just looked it up because I never watch that show anymore. Well, once in awhile I will be changing channels and watch for a couple of minutes. I like the wedding ones where the bride flies into the cake or someone biffs it on the dance floor. So, why aren't you in advertising?— December 24, 2008 11:30 a.m.

Johnny, millions of drunks can't be wrong!!! I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole now, but in my teens they were tops. Of course, growing up in New York, we had little exposure to real Mexican food, so we thought they were divine.— December 24, 2008 8:30 a.m.

Noun for someone willing to do the unpleasant would be a trouper. Read your twitter! Don't you ever feel overwhelmed by so much technology? I find myself drawn to it, but repelled at the same time. Or maybe frightened would be a better word.— December 24, 2008 8:25 a.m.

Three and one-half years at McD's? You must have been running the place! My fast food stint was at Jack in the Box. This was before they had indoor seating, just a small patio to sit outside. True drive-through eating. We would make crazy concoctions out of the food, like wrap french fries in bacon and cheese, and stuff them in our mouths. The managers would leave to go to the bank or whatever, and we would go nuts, giving away free food to our friends and eating everything in sight. It was actually fun, looking back. Everyone talks about how their job in fast food was awful, but mine wasn't so bad. And NOBODY had better fried tacos than JITB, Ponzi! BK's were just a shoddy rip-off. There used to be some sort of deep-fried burrito thingy they all used to serve. You never see that anymore.— December 24, 2008 7:47 a.m.
