FOOD FIGHT: Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for your favorite foods. I know the fact that the Shoutouts were not working for awhile made things difficult. Janine e-mailed me with this list: 10. Crepes with strawberries 9. In & Out burger (why cant they open one on the east coast?) 8. Calzone with pepperoni 7. Eggplant parm sandwich 6. Pizza - plain, thin nyc/nj kind 5. Grilled Cheese - american on white 4. Filet Mignon - medium rare 3. Fun Fruits 2. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough 1. M&Ms (does it really matter the kind?) Good list...you are right about In & Out Burger. There is a place in Manhattan called Blue 9 Burger (12th & 3rd Avenue) which is similar to In & Out - not quite as good but still worth the trip. And they will give you grilled onions on request. Also, can't believe I forgot grilled cheese. Michael e-mailed this message: "Real disappointed you didn't mention any tastycakes in your list. Guess your Philly favorite besides cheesteaks don't matter anymore." Sorry, Mike...couldn't find a way to squeeze Tastykakes on there, though Butterscotch Krimpets and Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes are my favorite. I should have mentioned, however, that Philly soft pretzels are by far the best - those of you from Philly obviously knew that already. As for those of you who managed to get your Shoutouts in...funnel cake is so overrated! Always looks better than it actually is. And Josh, thanks for mentioning Geoff's, a great sandwich shop on Thayer Street in Providence if you're ever in town. Though I'm partial to the Jen & Berry myself. And finally...who is "lard ass"? Identify yourself...your list seems to be somewhat sincere and heartfelt other than your inclusion of Flintstone's vitamins. NOT ANOTHER LIST... My top five most annoying things about Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game: 5. Jorge Posada sending his son out for player introductions. For a second I thought the little kid was actually Eddie Gaedel. 4. Commercial for new Fox sitcom with Norm MacDonald and Fred Willard...how did they manage to screw the show up with that cast? 3. Vanessa Carlton incessantly tugging at her halter top during the National Anthem to prevent nipple slippage. Where's your patriotism, young lady? 2. No Dontelle Willis! The one reason I tuned in. Instead we get Esteban Loiaza versus Jason Schmidt. Did somebosy say, "Ratings bonanza!"? 1. Joe Buck THE BEST REALITY SHOW EVER IS...CBS's "Cupid". After only two episodes, I'm sorry to say I'm hooked.

AND FINALLY...Check out this article in this week's Onion: Unemployed Man Getting Really Good At Unemployment.
Am I flattering myself or is it suspicious that this came out right
after I posted my eerily similar "My Turn" piece AND lavished praise
upon their website. Almost makes me want to rescind my
recommendation...almost.
