Oh man, I wish I could take you up on that! Already have Bowl tix though. Guess I can't complain

I'd like to check out D23 I guess.

Actually, I have discovered that both Hellmans and Best Foods are represented on the Aussie shelves now, and so, after a quick round of taste-testing, it was unanimously decided by Stoat & Bear that Best Foods version has the best colour, and taste. There is quite a discernible difference in them.

Our Hellmans was made in ??? (Oops, I threw out the label)
Our Best Foods was made in Canada.

Sooooo....., who prefers which?

You can check your electronics at the MousePlanet booth if you are attending any that forbid cameras/cell phones etc. Have fun!

So.....while in everday life I'm a mild-mannered pain in the ass, I'd just like to throw it out there that at work I'm a rock star.

Was given a project a couple weeks ago for some complex new functionality. Was given crappy requirements and told to do some comp lofi designs for an executive review.

So I do it. And present it today. And during the presentation someone pipes up with "hey, we did several iterations of design, usability testing, and focus groups last year on this."

****, says I. So on the fly we start comparing the results of that with mine. Other than being lofis, my design almost exactly matches what they spent $25k coming up with last year.

Just had to say it somewhere since from here on out people will just assume I was working from last year's product.

Sorry Bear, no opinion on mayo.

I was productive today. Feels good.

No mayo - Miracle Whip. The condiment all the best people prefer.

Ooh, I guess I'm not the best people. Miracle Whip is icky, too sweet.

I'll take Best Foods second only to homemade mayo (which is the best by far).

My first wife came from a Miracle Whip family and I actually came to like it, but I haven't had it since then.

Never had Hellman's and Best Foods close enough in time to have a relative opinion.

My old Mr. Coffee machine has been acting up - not draining right with some ground overflow the last couple of times I made coffee. Then I dropped the pepper grinder on the glass pot and broke it.

Today I made the grand investment of $16 and bought a new Mr. Coffee machine.

I looked at the single serving pod type ones briefly. Is the coffee really that much better for $120?
