Someone requested more of the “Vince” strips. I did get sort of distracted after I began this story arc. After beginning it, I was reminded looking through the old stuff that Vince was something of a recurring character in the spring of 1993, a sounding board for Janis. All the arcs are similar in nature, so I have abandoned chronological order and for the rest of the week will offer what I call “The Best of Vince.”

So then, sand, you’re saying only your former company/platoon mates will be able to hack you? And if you start chasing cars, I’d definitely recommend cutting back on the veterinary grade amoxicillin.
Dang, Bryan, you and David are going to make the Village’s group health insurance premiums go up. š Hope you’re doing well, though.
Jean dear, I’m not sure if your “B&B” has enough beds, but it clearly has the means to cook a heck of a breakfast. š
^Ā°^Ā°^Ā°^Ā°^ only chases two-legged cuties.
Jean dear, I checked out the Standard and Deluxe Camp Kitchens. Cool! They wouldn’t fit into my Bug Out Bag, but they would fold up and go into my Bug Out Vehicle. Just because a Zombie Apocalypse breaks out, one should not have to slum it in the woods. Will be also be handy when Chinese hackers shut down the entire US electrical grid.
Daughter bought one (on sale of course) with a fully working oven so she can bake fresh goodies while camped out.
Ghost, I just can’t resist. Size 2 Giada spits out all the food and drink she is filmed putting in her mouth into a bucket, rather than swallow any.
Ultimate diet.
Ever women is either a spitter or a swallower.
Does what Giada does count as a form of bulimia?
Debbe š I have no idea what color your eyes are, but Happy Pay Day, anyway. š

I think it does, at least an eating disorder of some kind. I wonder if she chews it or just spits out instantly? It also says she has a “mouth double” but that might be hard to find. I remember when Martha Stewart hired a hand double for her cooking show.
Love, Jackie
Giada has a “mouth double”? Where the heck did they find another female with 40 teeth?
I got this picture in my mind…
Giada: “Um-um! This is so good!”
Director: “Cut!”
Giada: “PTUI!”
Informant says that is EXACTLY how it comes down/out.
I thought of her as Giada’s mouth double, but I checked and she has only 36 teeth.

Only in the Village. ThĆØme de la journĆ©e duct tape. Now it is mouth double. Trying to understand how they do that one.
I read the article, including Giada’s rep’s statement denying that she spits it out, that “she absolutely eats her own food while filming,ā and that āGiada tapes sometimes three episodes in one day, and they do multiple takes on a close-up of her eating.” I don’t buy it. I can understand them having to do multiple takes of the food prep, but why do they have to do multiple takes of her putting it into her mouth? Does she have a dribble problem or something?
GR6:
Almost certain that’s St. Patrick’s RC cathedral behind Giada. Architecture is right [but might be ~ other cathedrals in Europe], but that old skyscraper in the background looks ~ one in the upper 50s, east of 5th, in Manhattan, too.
36 teeth? That would be unusual. Most OW monkeys and apes, including us, normally have 32 as adults. I had only 30; upper wisdom molars never showed up. Embryological hiccup, I guess. Don’t think I am thereby any shorter on wisdom [or irritability] < most other geezers.
GR6, this article has an interesting picture of Giada eating noodles. Just saying…

Until now, I had no idea celebrity eating had such a large following. Watch out selfies your days are numbered.
Seasonal wisdom as you begin to thaw the turkey, ready the home place for guests, and gather around the big screen for parades and sports. The sinister Black Friday is lurking in wait to pluck your wallet. http://www.theminimalists.com/black-friday/
Giada: “I like food that is fresh, with simple, clean flavors. I use a lot of herbs and citrus. Lemon brightens the flavor of food. PTUI!”
I don’t know…she looks like a pretty hearty eater to me…as long as you believe that everything she eats turns to boobs.

I never shop on Black Friday. My idea of Hell would be a place where every day is the day after Thanksgiving.
GR6, given the source, The Dailymail, and the size ratio of head to body; that is a photo shopped head on another body.
emb, actually the toothy lady in the first picture I posted is Kimberly Guilfoyle of Fox News. She is based in NYC and that undoubtedly is St. Pat’s in the background. The other toothy lady, with the pool is the background, is Giada.
Note that I resisted using “toothsome” rather than “toothy”.
GR6, that would be an excellent sequel to “Ground Hog Day.” Former airforce wickedweasel pilot is forced to relive seeking out bargains on Black Friday. Parking lot encounters, line jumping, elbow flaying comedy. Only to awake to do it again. Talk PTSD inducing.
Actually, sand, I don’t think it’s ‘shopped. If you’ve ever seen Giada on TV, you’d notice that either her head is too large for her body, or her body is too small for her head, likely the latter. Assuming, of course, your gaze didn’t stop before it got to her head.
GR6, I am a married man; standing protocol is eye lock. Minimal site driftage acceptable prior to target lock. š

Toddler swinging off my knee and arm to watch vintage train videos, including some by Edison, historic but not as colorful.

Back to the trains.
