LIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1960, after years of resisting, Moe Berg (one of my two biggest heroes) agreed to write his memoirs. He quit the project when the ghost assigned to work with him confused him with Moe Howard.

That is true of so many things.

So it's YOU!

I guess I have to wait a half hour for the emergency notification.

Was that just some kind of aftershock a minute ago or something happening in my building?

They're doing road work on the next block and I totally thought it was that. And yeah, I thought it was pretty hilarious to get an emergency warning telling me about the earthquake like a half hour after it happened.

Which I guess makes life easier for him. But cuts down on his value as a food reviewer.

Or I guess what I mean is "can't discern".

But of course, as we've learned, Sietsema doesn't believe in differences in ingredient quality.

EXACTLY

If you live in Ridgewood liverwurst is simply NOT a problem.

I really don’t remember.

YIKES

The Revolution is not about depriving people of food.

Remember, The Times itself pushed Well's first starred review after the interregnum as ushering in a new era. It's not like he was doing anything behind their back.

I wonder if he is, though. Or just doing the best he can?

The thing is, I don't think Wells is engaging in a "guerilla war". I think he's trying ;to be intellectually honest working within constraints he doesn't believe in (sort of like me living under Capitalism). Other than Wells's first starred review, which concededly (albeit justifiably) engaged in point-making, what reviews and ratings do you think weren't good-faith efforts to be informative? Certainly this week's review is EXACTLY what he should be doing (by his and my lights, in any event).

Can we have our Revolution already? This Capitalism stuff is getting unbearable.

Also, what exactly does it mean when a major industry player seeks to be "disruptive"?

Mean Old Lady could beat the shit out of Chang.

A new place is listed as serving drinks "with names like . . . Penicillin". Can they not know?

This is also good advice when getting shots.

Cuz it certainly wasn’t like that any more when we went back the next year. (Although it was still spectacularly entertaining.)

For all I know in 1982 I got one of the very last dinners of the original program.
