I dunno about the rest of yous, but i subcribe to yahoo's pick of the weeks
(i don't even have a chance to read it, but hey,mor junk for my email box)
And this week they are doing parodies on writers, and guess who was on
there? ;)
J.D. Salinger...
Well, if you really want to read this week's selection of picks, go
ahead. I mean, I actually enjoy a good web site, if it's intelligent
and all. Like A Gallery of Regrettable Food can be kind of
entertaining, if you buy into that sort of thing. What it is is a
"simple introduction to poorly photographed foodstuffs and horrid
recipes" of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I guess the ads are pretty
funny, stuff like when Eleanor Roosevelt endorsed hotdogs (she really
did) and the Jolly Green Giant was portrayed by actual people. And I
suppose some of the other stuff is kind of amusing, with that recipe
for "South of the Border Cheesy Meatloaf," and the pictures of Frosty
Prune Pie and all. But to tell you the truth, I'm kind of sorry I even
started telling you about it. Because even though that damned Yahoo!
with that phony exclamation point and everything made me prostitute
myself like this, I really miss that old Regrettable Food web site. I
really do.
