Sweet Art: These 100 Cereal Box Covers should take you back to the glory days of wolfing down bowl upon bowl of multi-colored, crunchy goodness on Saturday mornings while trying to figure out why Wendy and Marvin were replaced by Zan and Jana.

WTF Top Chef? Pretty low-rent season, huh? The top chef so far (most wins) dazzled a bunch of yapping yentas on some morning TV show with a disgusting cold tomato-watermelon-cheese salad. This concoction was a big hit with Jersey housewives about 5 years ago. The look on the faces of the other chefs who lost and actually cooked fairly complex dishes was priceless: quietly seething in their own juices.

I do enjoy watching the dopey girl with an Irish cottage roof for a hairdo, Thatchy seems a bit lost, but oddly confident as she smothers the life out of dishes with globs of pungent cheese. The show has also turned into Product-Placement-Palooza. Oh well, all good things must come to end. Gotta motor, need to go buy some GladWare® Containers and a T-Mobile Sidekick 3™.

Where’s the Beef? Oh, right here in this flame-broiled man perfume.

“Aaah Haaa Yeahhh!” The Davide Lee Roth Soundboard rules (via Kevin Hoffman),  almost as much as the beloved Ladies Man Soundboard that I still get a kickout off, “Hey, what’s happenin’?” That’s gold.
