On this day in 2008 some ones and zeros were uploaded to a vacant outpost on the world wide web and thus, rather inauspiciously, www.threedonia.com was born! As with most offspring, threedonia has developed quite differently than Floyd, Chuck and I foresaw, gazing through the celebratory cigar smoke on that storied day. We began as [...] On behalf of Rufus, Eric, John FN, Wankette, Rich, Mike Kriskey, Outlaw, Charles Kane, and yours truly we wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving and we humbly thank you all for making us a regular part of your reading day. Share on Facebook Photo by Martin Walls via stock.xchng From James Lileks’ The Bleat today: When I was a kid “taking down the Halloween decorations” meant removing the jointed cardboard Ben Franklin skeleton from the window; now it’s like striking the set of an Andrew Lloyd Webber play.” We had one of those skeletons when I was a kid too. [...] Photo by Seemann via morgueFile.com I was making some flavored gelatin desert this morning (store brand, hence I will not use the more obvious name) and I noticed something on the directions (I’m a thorough directons reader) that creeped me out. It had directions for adding fruit OR VEGTABLES to the gelatin. Someone thinks adding, say, green beans, to blackberry gelatin [...] I will pass on this new soft drink sensation. Or are they really talking about rebranding Old Milwaukee? That I’ve drunk. Share on Facebook Another way of looking at what the president said in his address to Congress. By Wordle Share on Facebook Continuing in my crabby old man vein, man that took a long time to get to the music. Talk about tedious. That cartoon was awful. Fifty years ago today, it is said the music died. But not really. Heck the music rolls on. “… Mixing medieval weaponry and slices of golden brown wheat.” With the right aim, this could really improve the efficiency of my morning. No more moving toast to the table. “Hey, catch this kids!” Share on Facebook Blago says he considered Oprah for Obama’s Senate seat. Mr. Ellis, add that to the list of offenses. That actually might be worse than trying to sell it. Photo by Alan Light via Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license Share on Facebook By the Lunar calendar, it’s now the year of the Ox. Obama is an Ox baby. But then again, so is George Clooney. What about BlagOOOOOOOOOOOOO? Seems like he should be huh? Photo by Kenn W. Kiser via morgueFile Share on Facebook What was once considered influential ultimately turns into a parody of itself. No Hollywood genre has suffered more of this than the war movie. Politics aside, modern war movies generally follow typical themes. “War is hell, you’re there for the guy next to you, why are we here in the first place?” A lot of that [...] Rich you nailed the ultimate significance of the Obama election when you wrote: “2008 was a victory of one set of ideas over another set of ideas, and the nation – as a whole – was mature enough to accept it.” But you must live in some kind of racial Utopia to not understand the [...] After seeing the photos with this post, I wants poached eggs on toast. Now! This post now actually includes a link to said article, thanks to Kath. Share on Facebook There’s no sure way to get over a hangover says no less an authority than Nichole Vargas, a junior at UNLV. “Cure? I don’t think there’s a cure for hangovers.” But there’s something that can ease the pain. Toast. “It’s good to raise a toast with a glass of champagne with a few close friends, but toast may [...] Don’t get me wrong. Toast is significant. But some people can read a little too much into it sometimes. Peanut butter on toast. It’s food. Eat it. Share on Facebook Christopher Hirst really likes toast, based on this article he wrote. If only we all could have someone in our corner as steadfast in presenting our glories as Christopher is in presenting the upside of toast. I don’t even know what a lot of the food he is talking about is like, but it sounds [...] Kane here, abusing my posting privileges to make a post out of something that could have just been a more complete comment to the Col. Sanders Christmas post. Too bad. Rank, no matter how unearned, does have its privileges. I’ve got a password and I’m using it. And I can’t believe I’m going to post [...] May you be warm and cozy — as a color enhanced piece of toast on a creepy winking Santa paper plate! Share on Facebook Rufus had the right artist but the way wrong song. Above is the Fab Four at their best. This guitar solo blows away the one on Boys, which is a bunch of time wasting tricks strung together while Georege trying to get inspiration. Then time ran out. Here’s a cool live version: Share on Facebook If this is so, why can’t my neighbors just have a long talk with their dogs about what a jerk that Kane guy is and stay out of his yard already! Share on Facebook One of Rufus’ favorite things about this time of year is the music. A lot of Rufus’ favorite music is Christmas themed and you simply cannot listen to it in July. Also, a lot of the music is simple enough that even Rufus can play it on piano. Rufus has an extensive collection of Christmas [...] Aiko can butter toast, which is pretty nifty. Never saw C-3P0 or R2D2 do that. But I’m waiting for the model that can handle jam on toast. Then I buy. Share on Facebook How much toast is too much toast? “My family called me the Toast Monster because I’d start the day with up to NINE slices of toast with lashings of butter, plus two cups of coffee with milk and sugar” At that rate, I hope she was buying the store brand stuff. Photo by Jane M. [...] Not feeling well last few days. Eating only dry toast for all meals. Thank goodness for that. Photo by Jane M. Sawyer via morgueFile Share on Facebook Toast. It’s not just a breakfast food. It’s a Christmas Party Survival essential: TUCK INTO TOAST: Eating something fatty will give you a feeling of fullness, which means you’re less likely to scoff calorie-rich finger foods. It will also take the booze longer to hit your bloodstream.Amanda says: ‘If you’re in a rush, there’s [...] Lank Dresser thinks Thanksgiving is too focused on gluttony. He has a solution: Next year I’m having Thanksgiving dinner at my house, and you’re invited. We’re having dry toast and black coffee. But the real reason to check out this Web site is this feature. Aye carumba! Photo by keyseeker via morgueFile Share on Facebook Don’t know what to do with yourself? “Fumble in the dark. “Brew a pot of tea. “Spoon yogurt into a bowl. “Dry a wet body. “Close a half-open window. and of course “Make a piece of buttered toast.” Photo by Dawn M. Turner via morgueFile Share on Facebook Learning to take burnt toast with grace can save your marriage, this post asserts. Just remember it also may kill you, trzpur pointed out. Photo by Paul Anderson via morgueFile Share on Facebook Apparently, a collection of “bread browning devices” is a lot more lucrative than a collection of blog posts about bread browned in such a device. Based on the Threedonia cash flow statement anyway. I wonder if they have a 2003 Magic Chef in there? Share on Facebook This reveiwer pitches the following as a good point about a Stan Getz CD: No alternate takes, no unreleased tracks, no special-edition book, no piece of toast with a burned spot that looks like Charlie Byrd. But he’s wrong. Jazz icon toast sizzles and certainly would increase the value of any compilation CD. Remember — everything goes [...]
Yes we are still working through the Halloween candy at the Kane house. Not that there’s a lot left, but it is still hanging in there in a bowl on the kitchen island counter. The chocolate is mostly gone now, except for the mysterious chocolate Skittles. No one seems to want to risk [...] I missed the speech or statement where Sarah Palin said she didn’t like Wisconsin and dairy products, including butter for your toast. But apparently this guy heard something to make him think she might unleash nukes on America’s Dairyland. Photo by Paul Anderson via morgueFile Share on Facebook Is this guy legit? I don’t know. But I do know that a year’s shelf life for toast seems really long. Photo by Jane M. Sawyer via morgueFile Share on Facebook For all of you hard science freaks out there: Explain this eh? Photo by keyseeker via morgueFile Share on Facebook Remember this? Remember how you could change the darkness of the toast? That was only fair. You have to be able to adjust the toast. Share on Facebook I love mushrooms. You know I love toast. Hmmmmm. Would I love mushroom toast? Photo by Dawn M. Turner via morgueFile Share on Facebook No way is Hazul some kind of health food, whole grain freak. 2) Toast. I like my toast not too well done, but not too raw either. With brown bread, you simply cannot tell. I also like to smother my toast in butter, it brings out the nice salty taste….or it does with white bread. As [...] I’m not exactly sure what a “tea-lady” is. But she can make toast — and work — and that sounds excellent: I confess to having a tea-lady at my place of work. Not only does she produce a marvellous cuppa, she also makes delicious buttered toast for a workforce who are naturally famished a mere two [...] Buttered toast makes for a happy Charles Foster Kane. But it also makes for a fat Bo. Photo by keyseeker via morgueFile Share on Facebook “Did the pool have a Danish?” Speaking of TV news folks breaking out of an ideological mode, look at this chunk of the Rachel Maddow Show from wednesday night.
