Chopsticks?

We took the girls out for Chinese food this evening. That led to this.

I fully admit that I could have another opinion if I could actually use chopsticks. I can’t help but wonder why anyone still uses them. We have forks, I can only assume its some elitist look at my cultured ass I can use chopsticks. I am left to make the following comparisons:

I can currently get on a moped and ride it back to the east coast, but I don’t because I have a car.

I could charter a Biplane to get me to Boston, but instead I buy a ticket on a big jet airliner.

I can go chop wood, put in a wood stove, stoke the fire for hours, and then cook something, but I just turn the knob on the gas stove and cook away.

I’ve often wondered about Charcoal Users, as I use Gas, and always have. There is a “flavor” thing they claim, that might be legit.

Anyhow, why use chopsticks when there is a perfectly good fork available to eat with.

The New Internet Guru in the Family

I'm sitting here, watching the Patriots, eating my Clam Chowder. My daughter decided what she wanted for Christmas, a website. She's 9 years old and idolizes iCarly. She's had a Flip Video Camera for a year, and constantly filming things. So now I've agreed that we can pull this off.

My plan is to get her an iPod, the new Nano shoot Video, and a Webcam. I'll set her up on Youtube, and a Blogger webpage.

So look out world, I can't gaurantee what's coming from her, but it's bound to be entertaining.
