I just had an amazing conversation about milk
I just had the most amazing conversation at the grocery store. As you know and are likely sick of hearing, I’m particular about milk and was drinking a certain kind which is no longer available so then I was at sea, milk wise, but now I’ve become a fan of a particular kind of Almond Milk. It’s the unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk from Blue Diamond in the refrigerated carton.
delightful
Blue Diamond also makes the product in shelf-stable containers but the refrigerated tastes better thanks to the addition of calcium carbonate which is chalk. Apparently I like chalk in my fake milk.
good but needs chalk
Anyway, I’m at the store and the guy who works there, the one who often inquires how I’m feeling leading me to wonder if I look sickly, is stocking stuff near the milk. I pick up a carton and tell him I’m feeling fine and then decide that I may as well indicate my love of this milk so they’ll keep it in stock. “I’m a fan of this milk!” I announce.
“Shhhh,” he says.
“I know!” I say, having no idea what he’s talking about.
“You know how you get, boo,” he responds.
“Yeah. Don’t want to jinx it!” I say, taking a stab.
I’m reminded of the time I took a ballet class which was far too advanced for me and everyone was doing the routine one by one across the floor and then it was my turn and I had no idea how it went so I just kind of flailed across the room and added my own little flourishes in time with the music, hoping my interpretation of the moves might somehow link up with the actual moves by sheer force of will.
Of course they did not.
Back to the milk conversation.
I kind of love that anyone is calling me “boo” and professes to know how I get! I don’t even know how I get or what exactly I’m getting a certain way about, but I’m flattered nonetheless.
Separated at birth
Yesterday I was on Hannity with Ralph Reed and something was bothering me and it wasn’t just the fact that we disagree about everything. Was it his tan? No, although he was exceptionally bronzed. Was it his alarmingly youngish image? No, although I’m sure there’s a rapidly aging portrait of him somewhere. Was it his uber friendliness? No, although had I not had prior engagements I would have been tempted to grab a beer with him which is also how I felt about Ann Coulter who’s more pleasant and unassuming than you’d expect.
And then I realized.
He looks a lot like Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) from Mad Men.
See me on Hannity and then chat with me on Ustream
Blurry post-show shot with Ralph Reed on the left and Steve Murphy on the right which is the reverse of how they feel politically.
I’m on Hannity tonight at 9pm ET on Fox News so please watch that and then perhaps love or hate me and then come here and join in the Alison Rosen Live Show (at 10pm ET) which is probably the most fun thing you could imagine times a zillion.
What should we talk about tomorrow?
As you guys know, tomorrow is another live Ustream chat (at 10pm EST/7pm PST). I couldn’t be more excited if I’d had all my internal organs removed and replaced with butterflies. In fact, I think I might do that. Instead of being an organ donor I’ll be an organ trader. Or an organ exchanger. Or someone who’s using an organ bartering system. But not an organ traitor. I would never betray my organs.
You can RSVP here. Do it!!!!!!
Last time some of you suggested we decide on some topics ahead of time. I think that’s a fabulous suggestion so why don’t you guys let me know what you think we should talk about? What’s on your minds?
Million dollar yogurt idea
I’ve been thinking a lot about how there are antibiotics, which are good for you according to doctors, and there are things which are probiotic, which are good for you according to people who hawk yogurt.
But see my whole life I’ve grown up with an awareness of antibiotics but this probiotic thing is something new and flashy and it sounds more like marketing than science.
So I was thinking that maybe everything anti should also have a pro version? For example:
Probodies
Procoagulant
Protidote
Profreeze
Promatter
Procipate
Proconvulsive
Naturally all of these will be sold in yogurt, so if you are any sort of yogurt proprietor (or antiprietor) you should make room on your shelf!
