TBTL WITH LUKE BURBANK

Growing a Pear

While I enjoy fruit much more than Luke I am on his side here. Let’s talk about pears. I’ve never had one that wasn’t a pale imitation of an apple. How would you like a piece of fruit that isn’t very juicy or flavorful, but has the added benefit of being as tough to chew as 40 grit sandpaper? I understand we need pears as they are cheap, bland, and serve as the base for most of the fruit juices we consume but let’s keep them on the farm and off my dinner table. And if pears are so awesome where is my pear pie?

TBTL ladies love The Mummy. Who wouldn’t love The Mummy? He’s a smart, handsome middle aged bounder crashing in a utility shed behind your neighbors house. His whole carefree, brother can you spare some gin lifestyle has genuine appeal. And I believe he’s a statistical oddity. I doubt there are any other debonair, English speaking, Caucasian males in the Seattle area who don’t have a bank account. He says “FEH” to white privilege! Bravo, sir!

I love it when Andrew talks about his father. They seem to have a special relationship that bridges the difference in their political views. While the Cuyahoga Clam is fiscally Hodor and socially Hodor his dad is the opposite. If I were Clam Sr. I would constantly be saying “your grandfather didn’t work in the Frisbee mines for 53 years to see you run your sausage hole about global Hordor and Hodor credits!”

My “government” is Mike Frizzell. Friend me on Facebook where I will keep posting about only using the left lane for passing until your eyes permanently roll back in your head. Follow me @drewmcfrizz on Twitter. Check out Takedown Podcast‘s FB page where we share regional snacks by mailing them to one another. What could go wrong?

Harper “Buddy” Lee: You Can’t Bust Her!

I spent a blog "week off" mourning the Sea-Yuks loss but I was still listening to the show. There are so many issues it feels like time for my first USA Today/Larry King style post.

Touched “a” Verve… or “The” Verve?

On the morning of January 23rd, 2006 my phone rang while I was eating breakfast. I had a sore throat so my "hello" was weak and hoarse.
