A place for me to pour out my rants without clogging the inboxes of my friends and family. Also a place to give info on myself and Mary, our family news and events.
not sure why, it just does.

The wife and I went to a Chinese buffet place for lunch today; good food there, and a lot of it for your money. That's why I love buffets.

I saw something while there though, that just annoys the crap out of me.
I know, I'm intolerant, I'm a racist, whatever, but I saw two white, American people, a man and a woman, eating with chopsticks.
Now, I'm not sure exactly why this annoys me, but it does. I guess I just looks a little pretentious to me, maybe. Like they're saying "look what I can do! I'm fitting in!".
I mean, if you're from that culture or a culture that uses chopsticks, fine; use them by all means. If not, (unless of course you're just using them for the fun of it and just to try it)....just use the damn fork they provide for you. It's right there, rolled up in the napkin beside your plate.

Crack Kills

Another thing I saw, on the way, was a young guy walking along the road, the back of his shirt pulled up about two or three inches above his waist. His boxers were drooping, and his buttcrack was just there, you know? .....for all the oncoming traffic to see.
Now, first of all, having my lower back to the top of my buttcrack exposed to the drafty air would just irritate the hell out of me. I'd be adjusting my clothes in a heartbeat. Also, I wouldn't want my crack all clogged up with exhaust fumes. But that's just me.

Okay....rant's over. Thanks for reading.

I too learned to use chopsticks as a child and prefer them to western style knife and fork most of the time. I have several pairs, from plain bamboo to very fancy enameled ones. I use them regularly both at home and in public.

Now that i know it annoys some people, I'll enjoy it even more. :LOL

Sometimes I use chopsticks...it's just something different to eat with...and I like learning new things...plus, I have nothing better to do.

There are also enamel ones, doc. I have a friend who sells antiques on Ebay, and he just got a blue enameled set with intracate designs in flowers set into them.

Gonna be a heck of a game!


I have a good friend who's a BIG Pats fan and has a big screen TV.
Guess where I'm going tomorrow?
With my classic "12" Bradshaw jersey and "Myron Cope Official Terrible Towel" to wave in his face every time we score!
Of course, if we lose (perish the thought!), I'll have to use it to strangle him to shut him up.


BITE YOUR DAMN TOUNGE, boy! I have my terrible towel all ready to go. I don't have a "numbered" jersy. But I do have quite a few Steelers shirts. And I "do" plan on wearing one of them.

I have both enameled and lacquered. FYI, the enameled ones are VERY slick and difficult to eat with.

Okay, then maybe I've just never seen them. All the ones I have (about 20 pair) and 3 of those sets are direct from China as gifts are all laquered. Maybe those that you have are made here in the US?
