New Yorker food issue

Food fights remind me of pie tossing contests.

*hefts a key lime pie and looks around for unsuspecting targets*

Hmmm...food fights remind me of 'Animal House.'

Besides, no one here is as potentially satisfying a pie target as Bill Gates.

tossers remind me of tossers.

i subscibe to the new yorker for film reviews by anthony lane, for malcolm gladwell and susan orleans, for roz chast, for steve martin....

i xeroxed a great cartoon long ago of a teacher before her class, the students holding their heads and grimacing, the caption, "I'm sorry, was I making you think too hard?" it has mysteriously proliferated on my campus.

i like the new yorker. some weeks i read it cover to cover, others i glance at film reviews and toss it. i tend to respond to all my other mags the same way. just because i don't always find a mag relevant doesn't mean it isn't.

So tommy, do you have a toss fetish?

CathyL -- never saw Animal House. (I'm kinda dated.)

Thanks for reminding me of my favorite New Yorker cartoon.

Man on a telephone standing at his office desk, says:

"No, Thursdays out. How's never? Is never good for you?"

CathyL  -- never saw Animal House.  (I'm kinda dated.)

Uh, no, Soba, I think I am.

Liza, my favorite cartoon in the food issue was the waiter saying, "Be careful, these plates are extremely dirty."

One of my all-time favorite New Yorker cartoons is actually a food-related one.

It goes something like this--

This piece of penne pasta is answering his phone and saying, "fusilli, you old SOB, how the hell are you?"

That kind of cracked me up for some reason...

still laughing now

[yvonne johnson]

Yes, that one is good.

That’s the least helpful simile I have ever read.

Oh please stop me before I type again....must...can't...resist...

"Crisp 'n Crunchy, meet Light 'n' Lively!" Have you noticed that many of the food ones are by Barsotti?

[FoodMan]

Wow... I do not normally get the New Yourker but I will make sure to pick up a copy ASAP. It sounds like a real packed issue. Can't wait to read the Mario article.

just because i don't always find a mag relevant doesn't mean it isn't.

You mean ... you don't think the world revolves around you?

[Jinmyo]

Hey, the world revolves around tommy.

You mean ... you don't think the world revolves around you?
