What Jesus Would Eat

If He were in the Bay Area, where would He feast?

I know He likes His loaves and fishes. The salmon population is hurting, so local chinook is off the menu. I'm sure He would not want anything frozen and transported too far. He had no motorized transportation in His day. Christ's a locavore.

Mercury levels threaten one's health if you eat too much fish from the Bay. Once a month is okay, per NPR. If you are eating out, according to CBS 5, We Be Sushi and Blowfish as well as Whole Foods pass the test.

For bread, He'd probably go to the workers' co-op Arizmendi. Jesus was all about people power, and that sourdough on Fisherman's Wharf is too darn expensive, plus it just sits out getting dusty.

After the meal, He would have to get a good view of San Francisco. He might walk across some water. In Oakland, He'd find Mr. Brians and his new golden wok(search DO THE WOK OF LIFE). But I suspect the Lord could make a wok golden just by peeing on it or some such thing, so He might not be impressed.

If He came over my place, the menu would be simple. Probably salad, pasta, toast and meatballs or stir fry. But He'd get to listen to the new Maven, at which point the devil within would bubble up and out and succumb to the pulsating sounds, leaving the Lord with a full stomach and empty conscience. Then we would find a good, free MIT course to take. I'm thinking kitchen chemistry.

'going commando' no joke, pros say

Real life commandos are reclaiming the phrase, "Going commando." Performing on duty without undergarments is no easy task, U.S. troops say. Hearing the phrase bandied about in popular culture does little for company morale. Check out the news brief.

Frosty needs a visa

Dort walked up to the counter at McDonald's and ordered two "Frosties" the other day, meaning ice cream cones. The young South Asian-looking woman at the counter charged her for some other ice cream item, more than two cones cost. Dort soon found the error, and asked for two "cones" instead.

"Cones" used to be called "frosties," Dort explained later. She ought to get hip to the new lingo, she concluded.

I can't blame her for using the term she used all her life to order a cone from McDonald's. So why should I get irritated when she says all immigrants should "get in line" like her parents, who came the "right way"?

I shouldn't. I'll just tell her calmly, "Our government no longer serves that."

pseudo bachelor's party 2008

here's a video/slideshow i made in iMovie and iPhoto for B's "pseudo" bachelor's party. it was pseudo because he was already married. they had a quick ceremony to get the immigration papers in order.

The slideshow's rated PG-13. the songs are "California Man" by Cheap Trick, One More Time by Daft Punk, and California by NES (B's former band.)
