Denny Carroll Can’t Even Handle This Right Now

When I was in preschool we used to have Cheese Nips for snack time and I used to cry because I came from a Cheez-It only household and they just aren’t the same, no matter what Mrs. Gilles tries to tell you. They’re just not.

Here to prove it, secondratesnacks.com is currently holding a vote as to which is the better cheese-flavored delight: the obviously way more awesome Cheez-It or the sad and lonely Cheese Nip. Clearly, I’m partial, as there are actually people in the world who would rather (gross) eat a Nip.

“I mentioned I was going to compare these to the intern at work (way back earlier this month when I had a job),” writes whoever it is that runs Second Rate Snacks, “and she felt very strongly about Cheese Nips and how disgusting Cheez-Its were, almost like she thought people who favored Cheez-Its also ate dog food.” Well, I don’t like this intern one bit (also, can we talk about the abundance of bloggers who say they used to have a job? This does not bode well for me).

Vote here, and vote well. If you don’t make the right choice, Denny will make you sit on the couch for 15 whole minutes. And you know what that right choice is.

A Quest to Get Skinny Jeans to Finally Look Good on Me: The Beginning

Kate Moss says nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. She can suck it.

As you can tell from the sidebar on the right, I have a lot of weddings coming up. All family. All big. So in anticipation of these shindigs, I’ve decided to join Weight Watchers to drop some of the poundage I’ve amassed this summer, basically so I can look better than all the brides (oh, sue me, it’s true).

There was a good amount of time during the spring when I lost like 20 lbs., mostly because I lost all interest in food. This is not called weight loss mom, it’s called starvation. Since I’ve started eating again, my choices have been pretty terrible, i.e. Chipotle burritos, potato chips, Coke, quesadillas, movie theater popcorn and ravioli. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before I got a J.Lo booty.

Providence’s Chris Young Trying to Become the New Basil Marceaux

I really can’t be bothered with the politics going on in Boston, let alone all the way down in Providence, but for the past few days, one of the city’s mayoral candidates has been throwing around all kinds of crazy.

I’m sure this is not the first time Chris Young has shown the world his inner psychotic, but this week alone he has sang along with a tape recorder on television and proposed to his girlfriend/campaign manager during the closing remarks of the mayoral debate. This guy is on a roll.

From what I’ve read though, Young told reporters that he and Kara Russo (who’s also running for Lieutenant Governor and a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives) will only get married if he wins the election. You’ve got a good one there, Russo. Reports also speculate that Young has been calling Russo his fiancee for at least a month. I smell a publicity stunt.

I can’t wait to see how this plays out.
