I found about my ex's, shall we say, "indiscretions," when I discovered food blog she set up describing the "heart healthy" meals she was preparing for her boyfriend.

When Muslims Complain About Certain Books in Schools the Board Backs Down

The devil you say!

Because no matter how much the media and FBI warn us about Christofascist terrorism being the biggest threat to America, even the leftists know who is REALLY more likely to behead and/or blow them up. They just can't come out and admit it.

My sister gave us chocolate covered bacon bits for Christmas one year.  I have to say it wasn't half bad.  I don't know that I would ever buy it myself, but it was quite tasty as a snack.

My husband just came through and said don't forget about bacon bits and caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream too!  That was a pleasant surprise.  Will definitely do that again.  The hard part is having leftover bacon around when you're eating ice cream.

I dunno. I tried chocolate covered bacon once. It seemed to be two great tastes that taste great ... separately, to me.

I do like that brewed chocolate, though. They it roast and grind it just like coffee, only with cocoa beans.

Chocolate improves almost everything. I haven't found too many things that don't go with chocolate.

Before Christopher Columbus landed in America, there was no chocolate in the Old World.

So, aside from her other failings, she wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer either, it seems.

So, it appears that gay-rights organizations around the world are getting together to create a new "rainbow" cryptocurrency...but even before it debuts,  it's being denounced as a "Panzi scheme."

And for that suburban garage sound, here is Oscar Drill and the Bits!

Note the middle-aged women in the audience dancing like they are 20

(From a 1980 movie that predicted reality TV)

The sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Sort of. The only actual connections are the character names and the town of Denton. No discussion of interstellar transvestites

Plus Richard O'Brien and other actors.

It does nave one of my favorite quotes, which fits most revolutions: "Why is it that the false promise of a new dawn is always followed by a very bloody sunset?"

I didn't say that it was a GOOD sequel.  The same actors, but playing different characters. The same characters, but played by different actors.

The only character that appears in both movies played by the same actor is Ralph Hapschatt, the man who introduces Oscar Drill and the Bits.

Bert Schnick is one of the characters I've played when performing this movie.

The movie came out much differently than originally intended (I've seen an earlier version of the script). It was originally going to be set in Denton, Texas, but a bit strike that year (actors? writers? Don't remember) forced them to film it all on soundstages in England instead. This made them change everything into the reality show format that it ended up with. (The original script title was "The Brad and Janet Show", so there were already some reality show elements, but the entire town wasn't a reality show set originally.)

In the original story, Brad and Janet had a fight in their home, Brad stormed off into the kitchen and Janet into the bedroom, which is why Brad was directing his laments toward all things found in a kitchen and Janet was directing hers toward all things found in a bedroom. It was the rewrite that turned them all into game show prizes.
