It is such an unlikely sequence and combination of words that only a fecund and nimble mind such as his could have conjured that delightsome phrase. And all this time I thought he had merely popularized it among his resident acolytes! I think I really do learn something new here every day!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

TEXAS
The thing missing in Texas higher education is a quality university with higher admission rates where good HS students can go if they don't get accepted to UT or A&M - something like the University of Utah. There's Texas Tech but that's in Lubbock and although Tech is improving, there's still a gap. A lot of Texas HS graduates are opting for Oklahoma, Arkansas, and LSU.

As I was listening to an awesome oldies mix tape this morning, the song "Green Green Grass of Home" came on. Sung by that welshman who originated the throwing of panties onto the stage. Whatever. Anyways, I never realized that the song lyrics were about a guy in prison who was sentenced to die the next morning. I'd always wondered why he was singing about God and a padre.

I bet he also had dinner at that sandwich place underneath the Eiffel Tower.
And I bet you don't understand this. Cheeseburgers have become a hugely popular delicacy in France. They're everywhere, at every level of the eating establishment strutum. And these aren't Euroburgers with brie and tapenade. These are invariably iconic American cheeseburgers -- but perfectly sculpted like a modern art object, with big bloody meat. I even saw on the one Michelin (one star) restaurant we visited, ordered by my daughter. 32 Euros. Generally cheeseburgers in France range in price from 19 to 32 euros. Like I say, a wildly popular dish at every level.
The food prices in France are crazy by the way. My theory is it's just because people will pay these prices for food in France (which does have the best food outside China). Raw food costs and the cost of preparing food can't be so much higher France than in the Netherlands, London, Italy, Barcelona, etc.Last edited by SeattleUte; 09-05-2014, 10:47 AM.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

The kids game Don't Break the Ice should really be called Do Break the Ice.
After all, it's the entire point of the game.

When Lenin was on the run living in the french underground, he opined that the only thing better than parallel French ingredients was russian butter, due to the cows feeding on clover in the fatherland.
