The "turtle burgers" were a big hit, though the younger granddaughter (whose mom keeps turtles in an aquarium) required repeated assurances that "no turtles were harmed in the making of this burger." :)

Funny. But, dear readers, just in case you're mindful about where you contribute your clicks, please know that bizpacreview "provides breaking news and analysis unfiltered by the liberal bias that has eroded the media’s credibility."

Ugh. Yeah, I missed that salient detail.

 

Let's go with this list instead, and the original one goes bye-bye.

The Beauty and Necessity of Commas

 

This ad just showed up on our local Craigslist: Sub-Zero, Oven microwave dishwasher - $1200 

 

So I thought, for just a fraction of an instant, "A combo oven microwave dishwasher! What a concept!"

I found this recently

 

somewhere:

 

"""

 

7-Eleven store
Two nuns were shopping at a 7-Eleven store. As they passed by 
the beer cooler, one nun said to the other, “Wouldn’t a nice cool 
beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer evening?
The second nun answered, “Indeed it would, sister, but I would 
not feel comfortable buying beer, since I am certain it would cause 
a scene at the checkout stand.”
“I can handle that without a problem,” the other nun replied, and 
she picked up a six-pack and headed for the checkout.
The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns 
arrived with a six-pack of beer.
“We use beer for washing our hair,” the nun said. “Back at the 
convent, we call it ‘Catholic shampoo.’ ”
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, 
pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and placed them in the 
bag with the beer.
He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said: 
“The curlers are on the house.”

bit sad I am

I may have mentioned it before -- there is a full page beer advertisement of three nuns, one ancient, two of tender years, sitting barefoot around a lake partaking.  Everything about the ad appeals to me.  Ought to be illegal.  Probably is immoral.

Deb @ Smitten Kitchen linked to this one today. Do you love or hate Wedge Salads? I'm occasionally on the love train, as long as they are made with great ingredients. A good one is very good, but a bad one is very, very bad. 

 

The author pokes some fun at her dad's taste, not just at his love for this 'vegetal doorstop.'   🙂

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/vb93km/actually-wedge-salads-are-an-abomination

 

I also loved reading the dad’s reply.
