I haven't bought a TV dinner in ages. If I saw them in the market for $1.69, I might just buy a bunch. Of course, that would never happen.

I don't think it's a schtick or a running gag. He's a genuine person with a multiple personality disorder. My guess is most people think it's a gag.

I love that chili crisp. The Koreans would call it a "rice thief" because it can make you eat and eat rice.

Whatever Greg's mental issues, the Christian

I think everybody has mental problems. You think nobody does.

I don't see multiple personalities. I see one unpleasant personality.

Sounds good. Of course I just bum some extra off of the local Chinese restaurant, take it home, refrigerate it and use it later.

I just learned something. Those are called Napa cabbage where I live. I
thought they were named for Napa, California. You know, where the wine
comes from. Now, I know better. Thanks!

On "Dirty Jobs" this week, Mike Rowe spent half the episode working in a
Carolina Reaper processing plant. He coughed a lot.

I tried those reaper cheetos or whatever you call them, and they'd be better as potato chips. I've never been a fried cheese fan, either way.

Many girls here on the mainland sometimes like feeding their pets the same thing they eat. Can you believe that? Even like ... salads. With salad dressing. I've seen them fed that. So, you can see why many people from western countries frown on the whole spiciness idea.

One of my new Carolina reaper plants is flowering. I'm gonna be verrry
careful with them.

I was watching some dog people at the beach share some food with their pet. I was aghast. It goes without saying that there was some transfer of dog/human saliva. It was a pretty traumatic experience.

It's called Napa cabbage here too. The choy sum is above the Napa cabbage. Napa cabbage is good for making kim chee. It's named after Napa, China - that's where auto parts come from.
