Best cracker on the planet -- eat 'em with cream cheese! The "Cornbread" flavored ones are not quite as good.

We used to buy these (horseshoe-shaped ones) at the hardware store... then you can walk into non-carpeted businesses and sound really cool. Janitors hate them -- they're very hard on tile floors!

The most awesome movie soundtrack you'll ever hear. This is Russian, Modern Period, Classical Music. I have 400 Classical CDs and this is my favorite. Great reading music, played low.

You gotta have one of these little babies if you're going to burn stick incense!

Ha! These have been around FOREVER! But there was always something shady about a guy who used sen-sens (smokers mostly). We secretly traded them in school back in the 50s. Everyone thought they were illegal! (?!?)

This is the ONLY "American English" contemporary translation of this great novel. Not cluttered with footnotes. Small but readable -- the "Doctor's Office Version". I've read 7 translations.

I cook every day. This knife is indispensible! A terrific gift for anyone who cooks. The best of all my chef's knives.

This model pushes the little garlic goo back OUT so that you don't need a toothpick and 15 minutes to clean it. Very good quality. A great gift for a friend -- everybody needs one.

I keep 3 or 4 of these babies lying around the house (one in the car, under the driver's seat, too!) over door mouldings, etc. in case someone breaks in here and gives me any trouble. They'll RUE THE DAY. Of course I have a .45 and a 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded for action too. But anyone can wield an ice pick! Scares criminals!

THE BEST Cincinnati Chili (which you eat either plain, with spaghetti, or over hot dogs) EVER! "Cincy chili for the Southern palatte". Get some ASAP! No kidding!

Hilarious, vengeful, film noir! A bigot gets his good from a son he never knew (or wanted to know).

Got one of these for my birthday -- an incredible idea. You just sort of hang a hose out the window and this thing air conditions 3 or 4 rooms. 110 volts (regular plug-in), does NOT produce water!

You can BBQ anything on this little baby that you can on either a gas grill or larger charcoal grill. They work perfectly. Great for outside your motel room when you travel. Good for camping too.

The best light fiction (darkly hilarious and oh, so real!) of the 20th Century. O'Hara was a marvel.

Don't look stoopid in the Wal-Mart parking lot when you lock your keys in the car. Just get one of these and have a key hidden away somewhere under your car. A good gift for your kid!

I keep a pack of these by my bed to wipe off my hands. I have CATS who want petted all the time and their hair comes off on your hands. No alcohol or stinging.

ALMOST as good as real cream -- I use 3 heaping teaspoons full plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar for my evening cup of coffee. Delicious and easy. (I drink black coffee in the morning, 1 cup).

I keep this around to remind me of things. Don't you just HATE to let a good idea get away because you forgot it?

Keep screaming monster kids occupied -- all you need is a sidewalk and the rain will wash it all away.
