I posted this on Facebook yesterday, and I thought I’d try it out here, too. So: Neil Diamond is the William Shatner of popular music. Discuss! Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Worcestershire Sauce: wonderful ingredient, a few drops of which turns a dish into an absolute delight? or a stinky liquid that overpowers everything in its path? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Once again, our DSL was very buggy yesterday and continuing into today, hence the lack of posting. But anyway: one of the local sports-talk radio guys here claimed on the air a few weeks ago that he had just that morning eaten his first banana. Ever. In his life. And he’s over 40. White American male, over 40, ate his first-ever banana in 2011. Am I alone in thinking that this is incredibly weird? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

I asked this question on Facebook and got a total of two replies (probably because FB’s new “Ask a Question” feature is, really, kind of annoying), so here it is. It’s the middle of the night. For some reason you’re staggering through your living room with the lights out…and you step on something. What would you rather step on? A Lego brick that your kid left out, with all of its very sharp corners to dig into the soft flesh of the underside of your foot? Or the wonderful, cold squishiness of three-hour-old cat vomit?
