That's why I don't mind Emeril, even though we're all suffering from a mild case of "bam/notch" toxicity. At least Emeril has a sense of humour and is not above self deprecation. AB adds a whole new level of humor to tv food shows. He's not only funny, he also has the uncanny ability to spear sacred cows without offending. His s satire is dead nuts (OB food!). I thinks he's the best humor to come along since Al Bundy (which shows you where my head is at ![]() nb |

Well, I *do* wish I could afford it - that would make me better off financially - I just wouldn't get it. ;-) Kate -- Kate Connally “If I were as old as I feel, I’d be dead already.” Goldfish: “The wholesome snack that smiles back, Until you bite their heads off.” What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about? |

Oh geeez, that old joke? Too bad he couldn't come up with an original line. |

I could see that Calvin Trillin _might_ have said something similar (I could even see him saying what was quoted above). But a Google of this quote and the name "Calvin" comes up empty. Apparently this one belongs to Alton. sd |

But this *is* a Trillin line, And he considerably pre-dates Alton, whom I thoroughly enjoy. |

Alton was in rare form tonight, knockin' 'em out left and right. My fav was:
"...so un-hip, it's positively Hazel!" Strangely, Alton doesn't look old enough to know about Hazel. Are they running that old dog on TVland? nb |

I just read the Tummy Trilogy a few months ago. It was great. I love Calvin. But can't back you up on the quote as my brain these days is like moldy cheese. Can't retain a thing. Kate -- Kate Connally “If I were as old as I feel, I’d be dead already.” Goldfish: “The wholesome snack that smiles back, Until you bite their heads off.” What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about? |
