Out of all the great figures of history would Einstein have been the most fun to just share some beers wit

Honestly, not in my top twenty. I bet when Einstein got drunk his accent went to thick pulp and the conversation would have been, "Huh?"

I think the man had quite the sense of fun and a better grip on life than many of his contempories. I can't imagine Newton having his portrait done with his tongue sticking out, or some other figure giving the quote about kissing a girl while driving a car.

Is it just me or is KFC really the greatest food ever created by humanity?

That's a funny way to spell Taco Bell.

In all seriousness the few times I've had KFC I was underwhelmed. Same goes for chick-fil-a and Popeyes. Raisin Canes is slightly better.

Is it jus' me or do I seem like someone who shoulda been left-handed and Jewish? Nope, a plain ol' right-handed Shiksa, me.

Just me or does Leonardo DiCaprio's face remind you he has high blood pressure and heart disease?

Is it just me or does every body fell like kicking the radio when a song by BREAD comes on?

I only know one song by Bread, the one that was used in The Virgin Suicides soundtrack. (And referenced in the novel.) It has a slow dreamy quality you don't hear today.

Here, this one:

Sorry...

(Oh, just realized I'm referencing a book about five teenage sisters who kill themselves. Doesn't refute that whole "you romanticize death, ER" claim of yours, does it, RC?

Is it just me, or does rotton potatoes smell just like Bigfoot took a s**t?

My cat Sasha is huge.

My cousin Allie likes tiny cats and always has, so that might be why it seems like it to me. She's owned full-grown cats the size of kittens as far back as I can remember.
