Saw a reference to this on FB with a video, looked it up. (They need a better PR person.)

Somebody had an interesting Valentine's Day....
Our carpool partner for the Jr. High (a very well respected piano and violin teacher, quite ordinary suburbia) called up apologizing after not showing....
"I'm so sorry, I forgot to call you and I wound up in Phoenix this morning, so I can't do carpool."
(so I'm chanting in the background....'go Bobby, go Bobby, it's not your birthday, but go Bobby') My wife might not have asked for more details but I intend to grill my neighbor Bob good about this one. Oh yeah. I may have underestimated him. He is a Waste Management Engineer. I didn't know they had the midnight to Phoenix kinda stuff in them, but there it is.

You know what sounds good? Homemade chicken pot pie for dinner! An entire meal in one dish. Washed down with that last bottle of Bell's Christmas Ale I discovered in the back of the fridge last night. Mmmm mmm!
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
Ah, I remember those days. Waking up in another city, not sure of how I got there or who was the special lady lying next to me. Where did I get that tattoo....Who is Roxanne? Are you Roxanne? No...Debbie....Nice to meet you....uh, I guess again....I was nice to get into your pants because I can't seem to get into my own. . . These aren't my pants or my wallet, but, hey, there is more money in it than in mine.....Could you give me a ride to the airport, sweetie?
Homemade chicken pot pie does sound good.

This is a good juxtaposition illustrating how life changes. On second thought, chicken pot pie always sounds good. Young and wild or not.

Must be the season. I was just talking to the Mrs. ofos about chicken pot pie. Unfortunately she's not a fan. Of the purchased variety, there used to be one that I liked the most because it was in a pie shell with crust top, not just a top covering. Anybody know who might make one like that?

You're probably referring to Marie Callender's pot pies. I'll take homemade any day, but if I'm going to buy one at the store it'd be one of those (and not Swanson or Banquet)

My wife makes a really good meat pie with a pot roast. That sounds good for tonight. Maybe I'll make that. I think she's going out with her sisters. I could eat a lot of meat pie if she's not around to tell me I've had enough.

All this talk of chicken pot pies and I go back to the top of the page and there is an banner ad for KFC's chicken pot pie for $3.99

Went out at Eurkea Burger for dinner, which was lovely. And, uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think, well, maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling...

Do you go full-on homemade - dough, sauce, vegies and chicken? I make my own, but I use the store-bought pie shells, cream of chicken soup and canned vegetables.

I think that was a hot flash mob.

I'm having a Healthy Choice crustless chicken pot pie for lunch.

Crustless? Isn't that just a casserole?

Chicken stew?

Recently I've gotten back into Words With Friends a little and have played a couple games with an old Marine buddy. He's won the past couple games, which in and of itself is no big deal but I find it a trifle annoying because to be honest I know my vocabulary is more extensive than his. But he has managed to win I'm sure by (maybe there's a name for this practice) plugging in random sequences of letters until he finds a match the game will accept. If we were playing scrabble that would never fly, but WWF has this delightful feature that serves as the great equalizer, effectively diminishing my advantage in word knowlege and rewarding either his luck at drawing tiles or his persistence at crunching out random letter combos.
Hard to relate to? Imagine how you'd feel if you lost playing WWF with, say, Mskis, and you'll know how I feel.

I feel the same way, and I often lose to people that have much smaller vocabularies than I do.
"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"
My brother is very good at Scrabble and WWF, and doesn't appear to have that large a vocab...but he is excellent at seeing patterns, which is a big part of Scrabble.
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
Ya know-go the store and find out for yourself.
When did I go from Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi?
I think that is definitely part of it. Just because you have an extensive vocab doesn't mean you have the best strategy or know how to turn an X & a Q into a TW, DL, TL jackpot.

Some of the words that are used in WWF are just ridiculous though. I've tried to look up words that people have used and I couldn't find a definition anywhere. Some people that I play will literally take an entire day to play a word. I know for a fact that they are just trying any and all combinations of words and letters until they find one that WWF let's them play. This wouldn't happen in a real game of Scrabble.
