Julie London. Well, when she was alive anyway. Nothin' hottah.

When I was having my retirement physical from the Army, the doc and I went over all the things that could be causing my frequent heartburn. While my diet wasn't (and isn't) the greatest, it still shouldn't have been enough to have me keeping Mr. Rolaids' kids in college. The doc put it to me...

Actually, the proms weren't sponsored by the school, so they were considered private parties. When a committee of kids came to the principal and said they wanted to hold an integrated prom, his response was, apparently, "It's about time."

I'm glad. I served 20 years, and one of the reasons I served was so that every American could worship in the way they wanted to, whether I agreed with it or not. It's no skin off anyone else's nose if they have a pentagram, a crescent, a cross, or a picture of Lenny & Squiggy on their...

There are plenty of ways to physically coerce someone without leaving a mark. Don't discount that. A little bit of physical coercion combined with the mental fear of much worse coercion to come will make most people eager to say whatever is desired to make it stop.

Man, now I'm confused. I thought if you distilled molasses you got RUM, not "Processed Vodka By-Product".

Well I heard from a friend of a friend that at the last minute a couple sofas came in and persuaded the chair to claim it couldn't be sure that the guy was the one that did the stabbing.

If they didn't identify themselves as diplomats, too bad for 'em. You have to declare diplomatic status, not expect Finnish rail police or border guards or whatever to know through telepathy!

I would bet a lot of people would watch the first episode. Then about 30 seconds after the first episode ends, people are going to figure out it already jumped the shark and stay away from episode 2 in droves. But no one EVER went broke trying to put dopey ideas on the small screen...

Good Eats - stuff I'd actually make in real life and some knowledge as well Roker on the Road - because he did a piece on a cafe in my hometown

I have to confess, this is the first time I've ever seen "vegemite & marmite" and "yummy spreadables" used in the same sentence! ;) Good luck in your quest. I'm betting you'd have to have a seriously strong food processor to get the consistency you want with homebrewed nutella. I'll keep my...

You can call me anything but late for dinner.

Is there ANY limit to the usefulness of duct tape? Leave the clothespins on the line - the miracle tape can hush those little nippers right up!

Squats. Lunges with weights. Running stairs. Or a stair climber. Because if a woman doesn't look good from behind while going up stairs, she don't stand a chance on level ground.

Do all butterscotch chips melt and get runny at lower temps than chocolate chips? I baked a cake the other day that called for chocolate chips. The chips usually stay in one place. I thought I'd try it with butterscotch chips, and they melted and sunk their way through the cake. Don't get me...

I concur with 'risen' being an adjective. If you were talking about a pan of bread dough, you could certainly say "Once the dough is risen, punch it down and allow a second rise." An apples and oranges comparison to be sure, but I still think it is a valid comparison.

Never heard of them, Tiradas. Do you use actual pennies in making them? Could you substitute other coins for a bigger/smaller rug? Of course, I suppose pennies are the cheapest to work with. A rug made of quarters could get a little pricey!

Woo hoo! There are still occasions that one would taste good, but so far the "I'll have one tomorrow" (repeated daily) is still working.

Today all the french fries flew up my nose and I passed the point of no return.They were very delicious and I got salt all over my eyebrows. So I let dogs lick my face and shouted out "yahoo." Then hard candy fell from the stinky geyser in Simsville after it exploded in a cloud of powder. It was...

Couldn't it be that maybe some of them felt Ann was too thin, and were trying to feed her? I mean, take a look - the lady could use a good meal or some Twinkie therapy or something. But then again, maybe that's just my blue collar midwestern desire to see women well-fed.;)
