I was recently browsing in the wonderful kitchenware store Broadway Panhandler, one of my favorite spots to leave my money in. Set up in the front on a display was a collection of porcelain serving bowls, cups, saucers and plates in white with a silver motif of....skulls. Now I know you can't turn around without seeing skulls on clothing and jewelry and this porcelain was actually quite handsome, but what are the circumstances other than perhaps Halloween under which you could use this stuff?

Did you see this pattern?

Day of the Dead party? Perhaps the wedding Rebecca just went to?

Next time you go, would you mind picking up the bathtub for me.. I will give you my address..

I was in this little Vietnamese Bahn Mi shop today and noticed among the dried fish, shrimp, pastes, and jars of unkown items, cans of Cafe Dumond Coffee.. I was really just so excited and surprised. Out of everything in this tiny shop, where had this man come across Cafe Du Monde Coffee.. I grabbed the can and said,"what, why, how do you have this here?" Obviously a stupid question, he laughed and said he really liked their coffee.. Also it was only 4.25.. I think its more expensive if you were to purchase it in New Orleans..Looking foward to my Chicory Coffee tomorrow morning..

I just checked the website.. They are selling the coffee for 5.20 before shipping.. Pretty funny..

I've written about it before but, since you raised it.... Cafe du Monde is sold in most of the groceries that line Manhattan's Chinatown, especially along Grand/Lafayette and near Eldridge St. (and especially the Vietnamese and Cambodian owned stores). I get cans for $3.50 or so.

And, if you're ever traveling, the same is true in almost all cities with Chinatowns. I've bought cans in Honolulu, SF, and Boston.

The Garden of Eden in SF is a strip club.

Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird. Forget worrying about shot breaking your teeth and start wondering about which flavor shot to use!

On Friday afternoon, a woman with short brunette hair, wearing a bright red down jacket, was walking - or more precisely, being pulled along by & attempting to restrain - two large tan poodles down the sidewalk in front of my house.

I have never seen this woman before, which in itself is rather unusual, since I know all of the dog-walkers in my neighborhood. Perhaps she's a new arrival.

The surreal part is that, while trying to hold on to the two dog leashes, she was also carrying one of the largest, fattest cats I have ever seen, a huge splotched grey tabby.

Was this her idea of walking the cat? Had her cat gotten loose? Was she a pet thief? I can't imagine what could explain her situation.

Couple Fights for Baby `Metallica' Name
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Metallica may work as a name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to persuade authorities it's also suitable for a baby girl.

Sweden's tax agency rejected Michael and Karolina Tomaro's application to name their 6-month-old daughter after the legendary rock band.

''It suits her,'' Karolina Tomaro, 27, said Tuesday of the name. ''She's decisive and she knows what she wants.''

Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word ''metal.''

In Sweden, parents must get the names of their children approved by the tax authority, which is in charge of the population registry and issues personal identification numbers, similar to Social Security numbers in the United States.

I read that as “keith richards gets a little closer to farther”...and somehow how it made perfect sense.

I got kicked off my first website, rather temporarily suspended until April 3, 2008, without writing a word. My transgression? Logging on for the first time in months to read a contentious, yet ultimately pettty thread started by the site owner to trash someone who done him wrong (in his own mind). I read the first page, had to do something else, then when I tried to log back on, couldn't. I think it's funny, one less time-wasting temptation for me, but why only a temporary one year suspension? Why not just kick me off and be done with it?

you've been banned on mongomania as well.

Keith Richards was joking when he claimed to have snorted his father's ashes along with cocaine, a spokesman said Wednesday.

"It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true. File under April Fool's joke," said Bernard Doherty of LD Communications, which represents the Rolling Stones.

Doherty declined to say any more about why Richards made the statement in an interview with NME, a pop music magazine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," the 63-year-old guitarist was quoted as saying.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

I believe Liza took me to Costco for the first time. It freaked me out a bit too.

Did you have to go lie down? Because that's what my victim is doing right now.

Took a visitor from Edinburgh to Costco this morning. It freaked him out a bit.
