The skating rink was a really sad place.

There are people who argue that the actual song, "Crazy Train," is a let-down after the amazing intro. I disagree. I love "Crazy Train." And "Sweet Emotion" is a let-down after the intro. Funky guitar riff, sweet harmonies...and then it becomes just another Aerosmith song, with Steven Tyler rap-singing.

I maintain my long held opinion that Steven Tyler is Mick Jagger's sister.

These people must be fought.

Oh when I was in high school there was a house like that out in the woods, but every room had a cum-stained mattress in it and a bunch of empty beer and liquor bottles and several letters that were postmarked in the 1930s.

So apparently boiled peanuts are a thing. And chestnuts are a pain in the ass. I'll spare you all the vagaries of this saga, but the bottom line is that if you roast them too soon after picking they have so much moisture in them that they get moldy if you don't eat them right away. And if you roast them too long after picking, by the time they've fully cooled off they're too hard to eat. So I've hit upon putting a handful in a ramekin, covering them with water, and nuking them for a minute. It softens them up enough to be edible (I should mention that I also soak them in water while I'm prepping them for roasting).

So, while we have the wonderful Mel Torme/Nat "King" Cole Christmas song, I'm thinking boiled chestnuts is the way to go. (And apparently boiled chestnuts are a thing too.)

Boiled peanuts are delicious! We usually boil a bushel of them every summer, and then store them in the freezer. You have to get the right kind of peanuts, though. They need to be green, which doesn't mean the color, it means they are freshly dug up and not dried out.

"Yogurt Yurt" would be a good name for a '90s mall food court chain.

For some reason I'm watching General Hospital (not to be confused with the porn parody called Genital Hospital) for the first time in roughly forever, and damn. Everyone on this show went to the same plastic surgeon. Like 90% of the actors look like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

You would think, as people who work in a hospital, they'd be better at it...

Well at least they finally got rid of that screeching overmodulated ambulance based theme song from the 80s, but what they have now might be arguably worse.
