Oh, hi.
Facebook brought us a very special gift today. A friend of a friend posted a little photographic gem from her trip to Greece. We don’t even know her. She just thought it was funny that a gyros place would advertise with a poster that reads “Trophy Wife” on it. We, however, think it’s deadly serious, in the AWESOMEST of ways!

Yes, it’s real. That’s right, suckas. My mug is selling slow-roasted lamb in Greece to unsuspecting tourists. Just like I always told my mom it would. Well, who’s laughing now, “Mom?”
While perusing the manual for a Manfrotto light stand I recently bought, I came across the following, unintentionally hilarious infographic:
Is it just me, or should the description read “Do Not Stick Stand Up Ass”?
Last year, the Abbotts cooked a salted turkey for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. We were all set to do the same this year. Until… the Fearless Flyer arrived. Or at least we thought it was the Fearless Flyer (that’s the title of the Trader Joe’s circular). But the title of this particular publication was Food Pilgrimager . (Is it a special issue of the Fearless Flyer or some sort of ‘occasional publication’ from Trader Joe’s? Maybe an ISBN or the Audit Bureau of Circulation itself could shed some light on this question.)
No matter. What the Pilgrimager told us was that Trader Joe’s is selling already-brined fresh turkeys. Quicker than you can say ‘Pirate’s Booty,’ I was at the Trader Joe’s at Movietown Plaza.
How will our store-brined bird turn out? Check back in a few days. If I know Trader Joe, though, I’m guessing it will be gobble-gobble-good!
POST-THANKSGIVING UPDATE
The turkey was fantastic! Get a Trader Joe’s Brined Turkey and you’ve got a party.
This doesn’t have much to do with Trophy Wife (if you don’t count the fact that Britney provides the soul-fuel on which we all run) but I can’t help but post it.
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE RIGHT NOW!
‘sup, Mike Coen?

If you’re looking for a reason to drink on March 17, look no further than Evacuation Day. And if you want to talk about how your great-grandparents lived in South Boston, or you visited there once, or you saw The Departed, better make it a double, ‘cause Evacuation Day is as South Boston as it gets.
On March 17, 1776, the Continental Army placed cannons on Dorchester Heights in South Boston and aimed them squarely at the British fleet in the harbor. Needless to say, the British fleet pulled out and never returned again. It was George Washington’s first victory in the war.
Taken verbatim from my MySpace:
They’re right, though – Love IS so kickass!
No wonder they’re called True!
