Annapolis Street in Metro Manila has some delicious Chinese restaurants.

Annapolis was known as the Athens of America during the seventeenth century and once served as the capital of the United States.

Boston is also known as the Athens of America. We won it off of Annapolis in a poker game.

A wooden codfish hangs in the State House located in Boston. It was once stolen.

I had some cod in Scandinavia

Another local Boston fact. The tallest building in Boston is the Hancock Tower. It is 60 stories tall. When it was opened in the early 1970s, windows would pop out and crash into the streets below. Each window was 4 feet by 11 feet and weighed 500 lbs. They eventually figured out what was causing it and had to replace all 10,344 panes. For a while the building was known as the Plywood Palace or Plywood Ranch because of all the plywood covering the empty windows.

52 miles south of Boston is Fall River home to Lizzie Borden, tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother.

Lizzie Borden took an axe
Gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41.

Elsie the Cow is a cartoon cow developed as a mascot for the Borden Dairy Company in 1936 to symbolize the "perfect dairy product".

Speaking of dairy products: what the hell are kraft singles made out of? NO WAY is that cheese.

The product's full name is Kraft Pasteurized Processed Cheese Product. It cannot be called cheese because less than 51% of it is actually cheese. The rest is composed of other ingredients.

I've seen a few ads that tout that their product is made with real ingredients. Yup. Nothing imaginary in this cake mix.

It's like Cheez Whiz. I never liked Cheez Whiz.

The cheeses with that "natural" day glo orange like in Cheetos? Supposed to be made also from "real" cheese.

Even condiments like ketchup aren't all that good for us.

Ketchup and catsup are simply two different spellings for the same item.

Las Ketchup are one of my biggest guilty pleasures -- I actually know songs of their OTHER THAN their one hit!!

That one hit was a pretty nice listen.

I agree, and I do still enjoy it every once in a while, but these days, I like those other two songs more, because I've only heard them about 20 times each to the Big Global Monster Hit's 2000 times.

It's rare that I enjoy a song even after listening to it hundreds of times. I only have less than ten such songs.

Growing up with Schoolhouse Rock, I can only sing the Preamble to the US Constitution.

There are many calls for the Philippine Constitution to be amended.

Love the School House Rocks Adverbs song.

I have a DVD of them all.

I don't have many DVDs. They take up too much space for me.
