Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Where’s your Science and Pie section?
Hey Blog Guy, I saw a picture of President Obama browsing in a Washington, DC bookstore. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it, that the president is such a devoted reader?
Oh please…
Huh? I thought we would be on the same page about this, so to speak.
Yes, of course reading is a very good thing. But let’s not kid ourselves. Obama was at my neighborhood bookshop, Kramerbooks.
So?
Kramerbooks seamlessly connects to the Afterwords Cafe, which sells sinfully rich pies and cakes. Now, Obama’s interest in desserts and junk food has been well-covered in this blog, so what do you think he was really doing at that shop? Let’s look at all the photos.
Yep, just as I suspected. See, he feigns interest in the SCIENCE section, and the next thing you know he’s looking at red velvet cake and goober pie. See for yourself.
Want something that’s bad for you, Mr. President?
Hi there, waitress, we’re the Corkery family, and we’ll be having your family-style breakfast special, where the whole family eats for for $22.95. I’ll have the…
Excuse me, Mr. Obama, I know who you are. You’re gonna have to go ahead and pay for your own breakfast…
Bag? What bag, Baby?
Hi Michelle, Sweetie, it’s me! I’m calling on my new iPhone, from Los Angeles. Where are you?
Oh, hey, Barack, you caught me just finishing a speech at a grocery here in Chicago.
Roscoe’s House of WHAT, Mr. President?
Hey Blog Guy, a couple of days ago you illustrated your piece on high-cholesterol foods with a lot of photos of President Barack Obama with junk food, and you said, “If I want to know what foods I should avoid…I’ll just follow the presidential motorcade.” You were just joking, right?
Maybe, maybe not. That item ran on Monday, so let’s see where the Obama motorcade would have taken us on that very day.
All aboard for the Lipitor City Express!
Readers of this blog know I have little patience with “stories” that not only state the obvious, but find it necessary to deliver the information in list form, for folks who are intimidated by paragraphs.
Hot on the heels of “8 Foods to Banish from your Diet” I have stumbled upon another time-waster, headlined “10 High-Cholesterol Foods to Avoid.”
The food is greasy, but your hair is great!
Blog Guy, I need some advice on home entertaining, and I know you’re an expert. Can you help me with some nagging problems?
Sure, what can I do for you?
Well, we have some friends coming to dinner soon, but it falls on the same day of the month that I wash my hair! I can’t figure a way out of this one.
You want fries with that museum?
Honey, I have a surprise!
An entire museum of fries!
Let’s order a malted,
And everything salted,
Then leave, before anyone dies!
Blog Guy, I read your item about the Ramen Museum in Japan, which sounds kind of boring. Are there any really great food-themed museums?
Throw it! What are you waiting for?
Mr. Blog Guy, let me say we appreciate you cooperating with this Senate investigation into journalistic practices. I know you’re a busy blogger.
Anything I can do to help Senator. I’m happy to testify.
Now, during your years as a wire service reporter, can you give us an idea what your daily expenses were like? Remember, you are under oath.
So there isn’t a Toaster Pastry Diet?
Okay, we already know there are a lot of really stupid people out there, but it may be time to recalibrate my measuring scale.
I just clicked on an item headlined “8 Foods to Banish from your Diet,” expecting it would offer some surprise foods that have more calories than most people think.
Big trouble when the chips are down?
Oh Dear Lord, tell me this isn’t happening!
I just wanted to watch some tennis, so I called the boss on our busiest day of the year and said I was sick with projectile vomiting, impacted wisdom teeth, temporary insanity and a fever of 106…
Then I got to my seat, and who’s right in front of me? The fricking PRIME MINISTER!
