Keep It Simple, Stupid.

This is the simplest sandwich I can fathom — one thick slice of cooked ham and one slice of Muenster cheese on white bread.  (Make sure the opposite slice of bread includes a generous helping of Duke’s Mayonnaise.)

The taste is positively sublime.  The meat and the cheese just go together like chocolate and peanut butter, I swear.

Anyway, at some point I want to see how I can become a spokesperson for Duke’s Mayonnaise, because that’s totally a cause that I can get behind.  I have no idea how — I’m not exactly an “influencer.”  I guess I’ve influenced people on Facebook to unfriend me?  And I had a guy tell me once that my poetry made him want to hug his knees and cry.  (“But it’s so good!” He qualified.)  I still kinda don’t think that’s the reaction that Duke’s is going for.

WEEP FOR MY FALL THROUGH THE AIR.

I’m bookish, awkward, pot-bellied and an easy target for jokes. Now I apparently need prescription glasses? And I can’t understand why people in my age group want to run society like a bunch of savages.

All I need is a conch shell, and I’m Piggy from “Lord of the Flies.”



Throwback Thursday: this 1985 ad for Toaster Strudels!

Enjoy.

Hasn’t he got enough problems lately?

My pal Tara posted this picture of an unimpressive carrot she found this morning.

I think we can all agree the association is inevitable.

DON’T be offended if I don’t recognize you — it’s because I don’t have my glasses on.

I can’t see *%$#. You could Henry Goddam Kissinger for all I know.
