News, but not the serious kind
He’s making a list, and Czeching it twice…
Blog Guy, I need to tap your background in psychology. I can’t get my husband to enjoy the Christmas holidays. When he sees festive decorations he just breaks down and sobs.
Hmmmm. Did he by any chance grow up in Prague?
Why yes, he spent his childhood there!
I thought as much. Have a look at these photos from Prague, where revelers dressed as Saint Nicholas and a devil approach small children on the street and demand to know if they’ve been good or bad. It’s enough to warp any child for life.
You mean a child has to figure out what a saint and a devil are doing together, and then decide whether to tell them the truth about his behavior?
That’s about it.
I’ll have the Satan Sandwich, sugar-coated!
Blog Guy, I know you keep up with food trends, and I saw mention of a mouth-watering treat while reading all the stories about the debt crisis…
I’ll bet you’re talking about the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, who called the debt deal a “sugar-coated Satan sandwich.”
That’s it! Can we make that at home?
I believe it calls for deviled ham, cooked over a bottomless pit of eternal hell-fire, so it’s difficult.
Damnation!
You could always order the Williams-Sonoma Brimstone Broiler, $666.95. The sugar-coater is extra.
I bet this sandwich was Dante’s breakfast for a long time. Must have inspired him.
I wonder how his Google+ circles would be.

Now that I am being laid off from my job as OE’s Taser Weilder and Zapper, I am sad.
However, until the last day of this blog (and my last day) you shall NOT learn and you shall NOT teach!
Any serious commentators are seriously, NOT welcome!
