Those o' ye who be knowin' me well will remember me fascination wi' ketchup chips. Well, one o' th' million monkeys who helps create th' Internet on his keyboard has done a review o' Canadian snack foods, and guess what! Ketchup chips be his favorite as well. Good t' be knowin' I will have a defense 'nother time I’m teased!

In other what What News, th' new Pasadena Yellow Pages arrived this week. Th' back cover be an ad fer “Rooter Plus!” plumbin' services, whose ad amuses me in several ways. Fer one thin', they promote havin' a “Free Estimate” whar I get t' “approve th' price before we start”—wow, that’s innovative. They also have a Logo that says “Drug Free Workplace” inside one o' those red “Do Not” circles. So basically it looks like they’re advertisin' that they dern't have a drug free workplace. I think we’ve all seen enough plumbers cracks when they’re crawlin' under th' sink—we don’t need them on crack as well.
But th' absolute worst sellin' point in this ad be that they feature “video sewer camera - ye see th' problem!” Yeah, I see th' problem wi' that idea—I’d almost rather watch daytime talk shows on TV than a close up o' th' raw sewage o' me own house. Almost.

There be, I kid ye not, ICE on me boat afore this week when I got up early t' sail t' that conference thingy (see last entry). I mean, ICE! That’s pretty much th' reason most people live in L.A. be so they won’t have t' scrape off their windshield at 7 in th' mornin' wi' th' breath visible.
On th' plus side, cold weather makes fer a very clear, beautiful sail into work along th' foot o' th' mountains.
But still, I think once every 10 years be often enough fer that sort o' weather here, don’t ye?
