WWFC Mourns Morrie R. Yohai, inventor of Cheez Doodles, has died. He was 90. Yohai developed the snack at his Old London Foods factory in the 1950s. The company already was selling Dipsy Doodles rippled corn chips. He applied a similar concept for the Cheez Doodles, adapting the machine to extrude liquefied cornmeal into...
Do you know who Mason Locke Weems is? He was also known as Parson Weems, if that helps. No? Well, he was the guy who wrote the unofficial, and somewhat creative, biography of George Washington, not so creatively named “The Life Of Washington“. Now it would appear that Weems found George’s life to be a little…lacking....
I bet you couldn’t tell by reading that I am feeling under the weather, could you? Nope, which is why I was compelled to write something. You see, to you, my voice may still sound like a smoky, sexy Kathleen Turner instead of a screechy, grating Roseanne. Also, because co-blogger Mike is off in...
Hi. Let me introduce myself. I’m Nicky. Sometimes Mike lets me post a few words here on his blog. Since he and his brain have gone fishing, I’ve decided to take over. I have domination issues. One time, when Mike let me, I wrote about my tattoos. You can find it here, although I’m...
When I opened my laptop today, I was disgusted to realize that there was a crushed earwig on the keyboard. It must have been sitting there without me realizing it the night before, and when I went to shut the lid…CRUNCH. I kind of saw that as a parallel to my life and my...
I picked up the book $ELLEBRITY by George Lois on sale for $10. I knew a little bit about the man, very little really, just that he’s been a big time ad exec since the 1950′s. I figured, what the hell! I was on vacation, I had time and it was only 10 bucks!...
All summer Nicky had been asking me if I wanted to go check out the Miles Davis exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. And all summer she’s been bailing on me. This past Sunday, she didn’t cancel for a change and we went. Finally! The exhibit was an awesome trip through the...
Even though I’ve only been at it for 4 years, I love working in marketing. Actually, I love it when it’s done properly. Unfortunately, I’ve only ever worked for one organization that, in my humble opinion, did it properly. The problem is, marketing is subjective. It isn’t subjective in theory, but it is in...
The smegma cheese fiasco is almost over. I have scarred some of you for life, which, I admit, brings a smile to my tired face. So here’s something more, um, acceptable I guess, by social standards. Charles Baudelaire’s Énivrez-vous! has always lifted my spirits. And I promised to post it for a special Chica who...
Just ask Adam Lambert, the runner-up on last season’s American Idol. He lost the title, but went on to record a debut album that sold 198,000 copies in the first week, was nominated for, and won, Young Hollywood Awards and Teen Choice Awards, performed at the American Music Awards and won a Much Music...
