Oh, she's told off a ton of men...and women. She has a temper. She also reportedly got into a brawl at a nightclub with...get this...Carly Simon.

So baby you're the best was actually to Chrissie Hynde after getting beaten up? Who'd have guessed...

Carly Simon's song "Anticipation" was used in commercials for Heinz Ketchup in the '70s. I thought it was "ancipitation", but I was only about five at the time.

Well, now that there's ketchup in squeeze bottles, we can safely say that being prisoners of condiment-related anticipation is a relic of the far-distant past.

if you tap the "57" on glass bottles the ketchup will flow (like spice)

I've always preferred using the base of my palm to give the side a good smack.



Another trick that works with a brand new bottle is to just slide the blade of a butter knife into the bottle so it touches the edge of the opening as it goes in.

(I spent years toiling in the restaurant business. I are so smart.)

My father briefly owned a small bakery when I was about three, but he soon returned to teaching. My only memory of it is of me getting all the freshly baked rolls that I wanted.

I know of one alternative cartoonist who once told me that he comes from a family of professional bakers: Garret Izumi.

The highlight? of my cooking career was cooking lunch for Jack Bauer Keifer Sutherland at least a dozen times over a three week period.

Now THAT is one for the books. I've only ever cooked for family, friends and people at work.

After college, I had trouble finding a decent job and ended up spending four and a half years in various aspects of food service. I didn't much like it.

Although I love to cook, I don't plan on opening a restaurant or starting a catering service because of all the hassle involved in preparing food for strangers.

A friend of mine was opening a smoke house and it was a red tape minefield.

I generally cook for people I know, but the Geneva convention won't be around forever!

A couple of times, I've watched those "kitchen redo" shows on cable. But all I can do is roll my eyes, because everyone's "Before" kitchen is about ten times better than my kitchen: What are you leisure-class whiners going on about?! At least you have enough space to open the oven AND the cupboard at the same time! STFU!

Yeah, I love all those home makeover features in magazines where they clearly start with a space/ property/ price bracket beyond what many have.

I always have more fun with the more from less features, where you know they've had to put in a bit of thought. Not "Gosh! Somehow we managed to create this giant modern kitchen... from that giant five years out of date kitchen." >Yawn<

Over here we have lots of game shows where celebrities are the contestants. Granted, they always promise to donate the prize money to charity, but COME ON! They make enough on their own to donate that much, give me a break!

My favorite game show was always Jeopardy, but when I moved to the Central Time Zone, I pretty much stopped watching. In the Eastern Time Zone, it's usually aired in the 7 or 7:30 time slot, after the news and before prime time begins at 8. In Central, prime time begins at 7. I honestly couldn't tell you when it's shown here.

My family's been encouraging me to join these game shows. I mean, you sit in a studio for a few hours and if you're lucky enough to know the answers to their questions you walk away with a nice bit of money.

I'm seriously considering it.

The closest I've been to a real game show was competing in an online version 1 vs 100 (there were prizes)

Back on the DC Boards, Exnihil ran a Legion version of Jeopardy. There were prizes too - real ones that Ex shipped to the winner.

And then there was the infamous Survivor game he ran not long after he arrived here. That was a fun game, though I didn't get to play as much as I wanted

Was that the one with actual posters taking part in challenges and voting each other out? I read the thread, and it was a hoot!

That is the one, I believe Lardy outlasted us all and walked away with Adventure 347 as his prize

I always did wonder how the Survivor cast of posters participated in real life. So there really was a thread, and everyone was free to plot and make deals and stuff like that?

My favorite reality show is (to no one's surprise) The Biggest Loser. Watching a bunch of fat people being starved, pushed around, and verbally abused by smug, nasty gym rats until they cry, puke, and collapse?! What could be a more terrific way to spend one's scarce leisure time?!

Oh, wait. This isn't the "LIES!" thread is it.

Sorry.
