Second opinions

Bored? Like to be intellectually stimulated? Yeah, I bet you do. I bet you think you're pretty great. Maybe you are, but personally, one of my peeves is people who are boastful and think too highly of themselves to a obnoxious extent.

Sorry. What I meant to say was go here and read some reviews on food at McSweeney's Reviews of New Food. The title is somewhat false, because a lot of this food is not new. But it is entertaining and may or may not build your appetite. Here's an excerpt from one review:

"Then I'm slicing this bagel with the same knife I'd always used to slice bagels before I was only a guest here. I'm terrified of the familiarity of it. I know without looking in the drawer exactly which knife I want. I use this knife as if I own it and then realize too late what I'm doing and the knife is screaming, "Who touched me?" There's a thing in the Bible like this, about a bleeding woman who touches the cloak of Jesus and is healed but then won't confess to having done it. I try to erase my using of the knife, wash it and dry it and replace it in the drawer where I found it, the point facing in the same direction it was facing before. "Who touched me?" Oh, no. Not me. You can't blame me for this."
