You are correct. I've been around the comic book block.

Taylor Swift fans and Myley Cyrus fans owe me an apology.

And object in motion . . .

My 15 month old grandaughter just figured out how to climb up on top of the coffee table and dance. I don't whether to be appalled or laugh my ### off.

The simple solution is to not watch football.

I knew you were gonna sig that.

It depends on what she's dancing to.

Ah, alright, I can dig that.

On the other hand, I see condiments as part of the flavor. With sushi, for example, I LOVE wasabi. I generally love any/all spicy food, come to that. I can't think sushi without thinking wasabi, as...well...wasabi's delicious (IMO)!

But I get the overall point.

The weather channel.

Right now she's sitting on her butt and scooching around in circles.

Ketchup was my hero on liver night when I was a kid.

In a similar vein, I ABHOR the term "guilty pleasure."

When I mention that I watch pro wrestling, the main response I get (aside from "Isn't it all fake?", which I flat-out LOVE debunking) is "Well we all have our guilty pleasures."

To which I say "In order to have a guilty pleasure one must feel guilty about that which gives them pleasure."

Now are there some things I think people SHOULD feel guilty about? Yes. Anyone who regularly watches "The Real Housewives of #####ville" or whatever, for example, is directly responsible for talentless, conniving, vapid a-holes having a job, and is thus contributing to the downfall of American society. That said, I wouldn't insinuate that it is something about which someone should feel guilty. I WOULD ask what about that crap is so compelling.

My sushi place has a roll called Ninja Turtle.

The base is an inside out roll with eel and crunch. Draped over the top (like a rainbow roll) is shrimp and avocado. That is topped off with wasabi mayo, teriyaki sauce and the green fish eggs.

Thing. Of. Beauty.

Wasabi mayo and teriyaki sauce are two condiments that actually accentuate each other. You can just eat the two alone and it's great.

But, to be technical, wasabi does best with white meats like the shrimp (if you'll count that as a white meat) in the roll. It's like horseradish or mustard. It really doesn't do much for red meats, but if you're looking for something as a vehicle for wasabi, just about anything will work.

Chid, when are you going to weigh in here on the food stuff?

Good point.

I'm in the mood for some scary video games, what with it being nearly Hallow'en. I haven't even made a dent in my movie recommendations pile because I can't get anyone around who wants to watch anything with me, but I can play video games by myself.

I own a PS2, a Gamecube, and a DS. I've been told to pick up Silent Hill 2. Anyone got any other (reasonably common) scary games that I can play with those platforms? I'm going to stop by a few used game places on the way home.

Indeed. Ketchup is the sledgehammer of the culinary world, eliminating most tastes that it comes into contact with.

The few times that my mother DID serve liver, I did notice that a small amount of ketchup actually made it taste WORSE (bring out the flavor) but copious amounts just tasted like ketchup.

Mustard would have worked better, but who can eat straight mustard?

That sounds greeeeeeat. I love me some eel. I had some cheap eel rolls for dinner on Sunday and it was great.
