Happy Birthday, MD/DC!

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of MD/DC. You may remember her from such posts as, "I Am Dehydrated - and So Can You: The Story of "Clinical Depression" and Otto" and "The Gator is Good, the Martinis Are Better."

So, now, in honor of MD/DC's birthday, I will post this picture of one of her favorite things:


Also, this picture of Hank Azaria, because she loves him, too.


Also, a shout-out to my old friend, CH, whose birthday also happens to be today. In honor of her, I will post this picture:

because she loves condiments.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for you guys, this means my "Top Chef" blog will most likely be delayed, as I will be out partying with MD until the late hour of 10:30 and will probably not have the chance to watch the show until tomorrow.

P.S. Today is also the day that LB and KN graduate. So, congratulations go out to them from AbS. Here is a picture of John Krasinski to wish them well:

I Am Sprinkled with Pumpkin Spice Powder - And So Can You

I'll never look at a Starbucks in the same way again.

Yum-O/Lame-O

From New York Magazine via Jezebel:

This just in from the set of Rachael Ray's latest Dunkin Donuts commercial, according to a New York Magazine tipster: "She took one sip of her Dunkin' Donuts coffee, yelled "What is this shit? Get me MY coffee," and would not continue until she was given "her" coffee -- i.e., Starbucks."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA! I love this! That screechy ho hates D & D! Maybe now we won't be subjected to her lame -dash-O commercials featuring "cutesy" catch phrases and ill-fitting shirts. Perhaps I will no longer be forced to avoid eye contact with her giant, orange, pumpkin head, leering down on me from the giant poster on the wall (actually, I just realized her head is probably life-sized in those posters, even though they're all like 6' x 4') encouraging me to buy a "gingeriffic" latte. On the other hand, maybe she'll start shilling for Starbucks, now.

There HAS to be somewhere else I can buy coffee...
