Ding Dong, the Twinkie is dead

[kudzu]

Actually bought a box of chocolate creme Twinkies and a box of Suzy Q's at the supermarket this morning.

I'd have pegged you for a Ding Dong devotee, matt.

My husband shares your pedestrian palette, alas, except for wine and Scotch. He likewise has a penchant for top line watches. (I, in line with my wifely duty of pointing out his foibles, always remind him that the reason a person buys a Piaget or Rolex or whatever is strictly as a badge. He usually just throws a significant glance at my shoes and wanders off....Men and logic, kinda pisses me off!)

In other news, so happy you brought another pup into your life! One lucky canine and hopefully will fill the void.

Cheers.

On the scotch side, there is a definitive difference between the various makes and blends - my preference for the gold label Johnnie Walker scotch comes from the smoothness of its taste and the lack of 'bite' that is present with the lower grade scotch (one certainly does pay for this but price alone is not the only metric - the far more expensive blue label is not so much to my liking). Scotch of any kind is not to the liking to the palette of the missus and you can imagine my chagrin when she used my previous bottle of gold label for cooking!

My wine palette is not (yet) developed enough to distinguish between a $100 bottle of cabernet and a $20 bottle of Costco special.

The Rolex was a gift from the missus and has special value to me because of that fact (my cell phone serves a better function as a time piece). On the suit side, the top line suits are generally of much greater quality and comfort (my preference for the Versace Medusa head ties, however, is simply one of artistic approval) with the latter being appreciated for those long appearance days.

The new canine companion has fit right in.

Oh, well, this won't be the first time you're wrong.

I bet the union leaders could not be happier.
