So I turned on the TV tonight before Pushing Daisies came on, just in time to catch the tail end of Wheel of Fortune. Pat Sajak and Vanna White look exactly like they did when I was a kid.

Pat asked Vanna, "What are you wearing for Halloween?"

Vanna replied, "Easy. Black. Simple. Maybe I'll put a letter on the front."

They laugh and Pat leans in: "What letter?"

Vanna (nervously): "I dunno. Maybe an N?"

Pat: "Well, I wish you would wear an I. So I could dot it."

This, um, clever innuendo made me wonder...have Pat and Vanna ever been...together?

Ick.

Sajak has always bothered me. He looks like a giant baby, which is kind of funny, kind of scary.

Which is worse: game show host banter, or news anchor banter?

I finally watched Pushing Daisies for the first time last night. It was kinda fun! Of course, I think Kristen C. (I am so not spelling her last name. lol) is so cute and fun, so that helps. :)

She is fun. She keeps bursting into song, though! I think she used to play Glinda in the Broadway production of Wicked ;)

Regarding the banter, I guess we should be glad that Pat doesn't feel up his contestants like Richard Dawson did back in the day. Talk about creepy.

Pat has always seemed creepy to me. Hopefully Vanna was smart enough to steer clear of him off camera.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
