On Inside The Secret Networking Club For The Giant Monsters Who Rule Over Us All
I saw "giant monsters" and thought Alex was doing a story on the Large Penis Support Group (lpsg.org).

On The Rise Of The Blind Gossip Item
Anyone who's ever run a site covering one or more celebrities can attest that all kinds of people are perfectly happy to share first-hand gossip about these people. I had sites that focused on two different celebs years ago, and got a steady stream of unsolicited submissions. I never shared what I was told unless I could get at least one other source to corroborate it, but there were a good many hair-raising stories that did see print. The most amusing part of my hobby was the sound and fury emanating from the celebs and their fans, who hated my guts and were convinced that I had to be some sort of Hollywood insider and/or personal acquaintance of these people. Nothing could have been farther from the truth.

On I Can Not Believe That Story About Pig Wings In Today's Dining Section
Oh boy, yet another processed food product I'm gonna have to pick up next time I hit Apperts. Their retail outlet is like Restaurant Purgatory: where chain restaurant prefabricated menu items reside before they're sold and eaten.
Honestly, it's simultaneously horrifying and appetizing.

On Your Weekend Project: Ooey Gooey Maple Blondies
Maple flavoring = fenugreek, for those who might find it under that name. When I was growing up, we got cans of corn syrup along with our government cheese. We'd buy a bottle of maple flavoring and stir it into the corn syrup. Maple syrup for the poors. Of course nowadays that's marketed as pancake syrup for everyone.
And Jolie, if you adore maple, you should try some of The Spice House's Gateway to the North Maple Sugar Seasoning. "..mixed with garlic and other savory flavors for an unbeatable balance of sweet and salty." It's very good. www.thespicehouse.com

On We Are One Step Closer To Achieving The Dream Of Losing Weight While Sitting Around
We need to pair that with a drug that suppresses feelings of hunger with no side effects. The problem with keeping weight off is that the body is constantly nagging with frantic "I'm hungry!" messages. The constant sense of hunger is too hard to perpetually resist, so people eventually give in and eat more. Which is why weight loss has a better than 90% failure rate over the long term.

Hairspray absolutely works. Buy a can of Aquanet or another cheap brand. It is also excellent for knocking down yellowjackets when you're dining outside and they keep hanging around.

On A Road-Tripper's Guide To Some Of The Country's Oddest, Most Amazing Roads
Driving I-90 provides one with a justification for acquiring a semi-automatic assault rifle: to shoot at the billboards. It's pretty much nothing but billboards and hay bales for a couple hundred miles. True, you can occasionally spot a hay bale spontaneously combust, but other than that, the tedium is pretty extreme.

On 32 YouTube Comments Inspired by Bobby Goldsboro’s “Honey”
Keith Richards in his autobiography gives a nod to Bobby Goldsboro for teaching him a particular guitar lick that he'd been trying for years to figure out.
Goldsboro had a 70s hit with "Summer - The First Time" which recounted a teenage boy losing his virginity to an older woman.
Goldsboro lost a custody fight for his youngest daughter back in the early 80s because his older daughter and one of her friends alleged he'd molested them (he said he pulled down the girl's pants only to check for poison ivy) and because he possessed child pornography (it was stored in a cabinet in his studio, but he said it belonged to another guy he refused to name).
