What's in a Name? (Guest Post: Charles Gilbert and Erica Johnson!)


You may be more familiar with the marketing name, Canola Oil. 

Now I know what you're thinking, but the name change was not due to feminist fryers. Instead, the real problem was that the original rapeseed oil was so toxic that the FDA banned it for human consumption in 1956.

And rumors that a few Southern Senators from a certain political party (which will go unnamed) have reintroduced it in hopes of combating unwanted sexual advances are completely false. I hope...

Happy Holidays from the US Post Office (BSB: Christmas Edition)

Cookin' with Grass!



From the same people who gave us repetitive wontons and food finding challenges comes "plant fried rice" and strong, if ambiguously worded, ordering instructions.

"He-Man" (Guest Posting: Charles Gilbert and Erica Johnson!)


It's nice and all, but $6.99 seems a bit steep. It sure would be a "Christmas to Remember" though.  

Dad (to mom): Remember that time your son got me that me that random faded tee-shirt ornament?"
Mom: He's your son too!
Dad: Not after that. A tee-shirt ornament? I mean, really. There had to have been a better alternative. Like a lump of coal or a "World's Best Dad" mug.

The Place to Be!


Talk about a tourist trap. We could always rename Times Square "Diabetes Central."

Helping Nat Out (Odd Jobs)

This is a bit picky on my part, but shouldn't that be "Assist Nat, Director of Collective Development"?
