Happy 4th...heck, happy 5th!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Nothing like a three day work week to get your blood boiling. I think we should celebrate the 4th of EVERY month with barbecues and fireworks! August 4th is a Friday this year, giving us yet another three day weekend! Who do we call to make this happen?

Special Holiday Poem Section of the Dump

A fellow Top Five List contributor was gallant enough to share a poem with us. The author, secretly known as Joseph Moore, obviously has a future as the Poet Laureate of Charcoal.

O beautiful for spacious lawns
For amber redwood decks
Ford, GM, Dodge - 3 car garage
A motor home for treks
Suburbia! Suburbia!
It's been paid off in full
So grab a brew
let's bar-b-que
Out by the swimming pool!

Where Do You Keep Your Chips?

Let's just say that perhaps you were having a barbecue for the fourth of July. And then let's say your husband was in charge of buying chips. Would anybody out there think that five JUMBO-sized bags of various flavors would be enough to feed 100 people, not the 20 you are expecting? I thought so.

So now the question remains: What the HELL do I do with all these chips?

Oh, and another thing. The Ruffles™ bag says that there is more potato in each Ruffle than there is in the leading national brand. I can't think of ANY other chip that would qualify as the leading national brand if it isn't Ruffles or Lays (made by Ruffles). Are they secretly claiming to be number two to themselves? Is there a different Leading National Brand of ridged potato chip that I'm just not aware of?

The only other one we could come up with is Pringles, and I don't even put them in the same category.

Psychic Weather Follow-Up

How did the psychic weatherman do, you ask? Well, I had looked for July 3rd predictions on July 27th, which wasn't that far in the future, but it was pretty accurate! On the other hand, it was totally wrong about July 4th. But it was wrong in that the weather was better than it had predicted. So use the Weather Planner with a grain of salt. Or a drop of rain.

The List

Favorite Chips

  • Tri-Sum (local brand - best in the universe!)
  • Regular Lays
  • Sour Cream and Onion Lays, but only if I don't need to talk to anyone for the rest of the day.
