That's so funny... the "Coke" part, I mean. When I was growing up in
Florida that was truly how it was. My friends and I drank Pepsi but always
asked for "Coke".

Is it simply prosaic and therefore totally inoffensive to ask "What flavor
Coke do you want" and "What kind of Harley do you ride?"

Many people refer to every facial tissue as Kleenex, and to every adhesive
bandage as a Band-Aid. We don't think anything of it, as a rule. But what
would you think of someone who calls each car he or she clapped eyes on a
Ford? Or calls every horse an Arabian? Or orders "Blush" all the time
because that's the wine they know best? Or calls every house a split level
or a rambler just because that's what they're accustomed to, regardless of
what style it actually is?

Frankly, I don't know of anyone who calls every motorcycle/motorbike a
Harley.

It could be boastful misrepresentation of facts. Or it could be dilettantish
ignorance. I'll let you decide which one is worse.

Fatal may be a bit harsh, but "airhead" is the minimum. Did you see the
episode? No, then you have no idea what the facts are. I don't expect that
many of us could tell a Harley from a Honda at 50 yard, but I'd be willing
to bet you know the make of car your wife drives, or your mother.

I do enjoy Paula Deen a lot. She made some stuff just the other day on TV that
made my mouth water.

I was one of her strongest critics regarding the T-day dressing, but the woman
can cook and she's a delight to watch. IMO.

Paula Deen will die of coronary heart disease pretty quick. I have
never seen anyone cook with as much butter, fat (especially fatty
meats) and salt as that woman!

Iron Chef drives me nuts, I don't watch it. But you did remind me
of an episode one morning at Perkins, we sat by the window. Well,
this Mercedes pulled into the parking lot, and you would not believe
the contortions they went through to park it.

Well, it was so funny and ridiculous, it caught my eye. Finally,
they all got out of the car, did they come in? No. They started
pointing all around the parking lot and talking.

So, I got the giggles and started saying things like ... You should
have parked over there! No, that's southward! But this way is
west! Why did you park next to a VW???? Just nonsense, we were
howling we laughed so hard.

Not a bad way to spend breakfast.

I like it, or at least I liked the earlier episodes. "Entertainment
Weekly" once called it a combination of cooking show and pro-wrestling.
Seems pretty apt...

Hah!
In the Irish Channel (German and Irish part of town in New Orleans), it is
pronounced "earl." Wash is "warsh," oysters are "ersters," etc.

When I first moved there I thought they had all come from Brooklyn.

Wow, you just reminded me of the fabulous oyster pattys served in small, flaky
pastry cups everyone served for Christmas and New Year in the Channel. We'd go
house to house and everyone tried to outdo each other in treats and eggnog.

I was not too familiar with her until a few months ago when I saw a
show that she had Jimmy Carter on. She was so very gracious to him
(beyond the expected courtesy one affords an ex-prez), that I decided
she must be ok.
