Interesting blog post about fast food that looks gross, even in the shiny happy ad campaign.

Pretty good top five list. I agree with most.
However my vote goes to ANYTHING Carl’s Jr. makes. That #$%^ makes me nauseous just thinking about it.
As a writer, I’m always interested to see, year to year, which words end up getting added to the dictionary.
Usually they are popular words that bee-bop around the lexicon and eventually get legitimized.
Generally, once the word is added to Merriam-Webster, the trend is so over…
Anyhow, here’s a sampling of new words recently added:
Staycation (my *god* I loathe this word…and I’m a lover of words!)
Frenemy (pretty much hate this one too)
Locavore ( : sound of head pounding on desk : )
And a new definition for sock puppet (whatever)
*sigh*
I’m sure that words like tweeple, facebrag and running latte are soon to follow.
Is it a bad sign that Urban Dictionary has become a legitimate reference tool?
Ah well.
Much this week about bringing idols from my childhood to a demise.
No, not what you’re thinking. I’m not talking about that *event* held today in LA, which shall go unnamed on this blog as I don’t need to lend anymore kerfuffle to the well built pile already laying around.
No, I have something else on my mind.
Namely….how come drinking and driving makes your hair all jacked up?
Couple arrests this week.
First Joyce DeWitt, former hottie from Three’s Company:
And now, the guy who played Carmine “The Big Ragoo” on Laverne & Shirley.
I seem to recall he used to be pretty hot. I might have had a little “thing” for him, in the day.
And now? Yeeeow!
I need to go now and spend some time tending to my broken childhood dreams.

How come THIS angle doesn’t get all the media coverage?
You schtupped an Argentinean woman, thus cheating on your wife and kids.
You are a governor, and you disappeared without a word to anyone in order to get the schtupping done.
But your plight is much like that of King David?
“South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford…said King David ‘fell mightily, fell in very, very significant ways, but then picked up the pieces and built from there.'”
oooooh kaaaaay
