Here is a suggestion for a new way to use the word “laptop”: when two or more people are “hanging out” and using their laptops. Bonus points when they IM with each other and they’re sitting within feet of each other.

Call it “sick,” but I’m sure there were plenty of people who thought using the phone was lame instead of writing a letter or walking down the street. And now the phone is the thing of Mother’s Day Hallmark commercials.

Really, could anyone have “invented” the sandwich? It’s such an obvious and tasty idea. I mean, what else are you going to do with bread? You’re either sopping something up with it, or putting something on top of it. Was it such a leap to think, “Blimey! what if I put another slice on top?! Brilliant!”

Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks The Earl was simply a card player instead of culinary genius. What’s enchanting about the Wikipedia entry on Sandwiches is the under-tones of a battle between the knife-and-fork and hands-only crowd:

[T]he generally recognised way to eat a sandwich is with one’s hands. Eating a sandwich with cutlery arguably defeats the purpose of this specific snack food.

Dude, I’m all about keeping it real with sandwiches: hands only.

I drink about one glass of milk a year. I just had one.

Milk is weird, isn’t it? At least it seems that way when you’re not a regular milk drinker.

Now I need some ice water to wash the taste out of mouth.
