My dear Bill,

This is amazing. Just yesterday, as I attempted to lift another 30 pound slab of meat from the oven to the counter, I thought, "Surely, someone, somewhere, has come up with a solution for this problem."
I had tried catapults, wheelbarrows, a pulley system, nothing worked. All too often I wound up on the floor with a massive, burning hot turkey on my tummy. I haven't been able to wear a bikini in years due to the scarring.
But finally-
The Cooking Saddle!
Upon seeing this deceptively simple yet ever so elegant design, I immediately ordered several for myself, and another dozen as Christmas presents for my closest friends.

Thank you, Infotopia!
Now I too can be naked under my apron, like the lady in the ad.

And all this time I was using a large Huggie for taht same task. No wonder our gravy always ended up on the dry side.

I was just reminded of the second funniest single incident (for me) in the BizWire debacle. (First funniest cannot be divulged, but you know what it is.)

Remember I did a cOUSIN SHORTY piece on it? And I put it up on SI?

It was an interview with "Phyllis Teenie" of BatGuano Wire.

Well, I subsequently found out that one of the people at BW took major umbrage at the piece. Seems her name was Phyllis, and she did not like the piece. Jill removed the post and sent me a rather acidic PM about it.

Anyway, I found out later that nobody got the joke, not Jill, or anyone else, except for one person inside SI, who shall remain nameless.

Now, knowing the definition of this word...

dictionary.com

...I had a very good laugh that BW made such a big deal about getting that "offensive" post removed from the site. It still makes me laugh!
