wine and cheese will be my contribution to the white elephant thing DH's family does.
Then I'll just pick my own gift.

Westerns has to be whiskey. Comedy...beer. Sci-Fi: Vodka and red bull. Drama: Red wine. War....bouron or tequila?
I'm a total geek for the factory shows....all of 'em (well, except for the supercars series). The 4 YO is too, really.
Best reality TV there is. My employer had an episode done on them.
This one is on Frito Lay and their Fourth of July rush.
All...f'ing...day, e'ry day. I haven't willingly watched a movie in over 10 years. I just got to the point where I thought "I can spend 2 hours watching something, and there's a good chance I can know what's going to happen before the ending, or the story has been done before, etc."...granted all the movie lovers will come in and butbutbut their exceptions to that, and they may be right, but ROI/CBA for my personal enjoyment, I'd rather watch something for a half hour or hour (the factory shows or other discovery type shows or velocity channel shows) that I can be doing something else while doing it and not miss anything plot wise, and still have those moments where I'm thinking "Huh, I didn't know that's how they did that". I can have a factory show on while making sausage or a calzone, or delicious bacon, or heck, even a pair of toilet paper 'swim goggles' for the 4 YO. And even if you say whatshername is soooo hot. Hell, they all are...but if you're watching something for the sessy women, you might as well cut to the chase and watch some pron. (not condoning that, either, just saying why fart around)
True, and admittedly, I'm a geek for how things are done/made, and that's why I'm in the career I'm in.
Speaking of Bananas...did you know that part of the reason they are so ubiquitous in supermarkets is because of their predictability? They are shipped in a very under ripe state where they are a lot more 'bulletproof' than the bananas you ultimately see on the store shelf, but they are treated with ethylene gas (sounds nasty, but it's a natural by-product of ripening...even if the source of the gas for treatment is not) to make them ripe? It's really because they are so 'producible' that they are so available and so cheap.

Careful with that hot tub, BDK...maybe your mom and dad aren't the only ones lighting fires in there....

Say bananas three times and I go all Belafonte.
