"quotes" news and stories

Nothing says Christmas like the holiday feast. And when the feast is animated (literally), there's usually something Dickensian going on, as these snippets of dialogue from Christmas specials prove:

Mickey's Christmas Carol
Scrooge: "What's she cooking, a canary? Surely they have more food than that. Look, on the fire."

Beavis and Butt-Head Do Christmas
Buzzcut (Ghost of Christmas Future): "Beavis, don't you get it? They never had enough food to eat, thanks to you."

Christmas in South Park
Kyle: [singing]: "Instead of eating ham I have to eat Kosher latkes/Instead of 'Silent Night,' I'm singing 'Hoo Hact Toh Gaveesh'/

How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Narrator: "He brought everything back, all the food for the feast. And he, he himself, the Grinch, carved the roast beast."

AOL News reports that at a speech on Sunday, Hillary Clinton quoted Eleanor Roosevelt saying, "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water."

I like the sentiment of that quote, but I'm not so sure I agree with it. I can definitely judge the strength of a tea bag just by nosing it - no water required.

If you were Hillary, what food would you compare women to in order to help your campaign?

My answer: A woman is like a bowl of beans - she'll be with you for the long haul! Maybe there is a reason I'm a food blogger and not a campaign speech writer.

Well, you've done it. You've made it to another weekend. It's time again to relax, have a drink, and have fun with your friends. Why don't you start things off with some words of wisdom about a favorite weekend beverage?

Here's a list of sayings and quotes about beer. All of them are great, ranging from Homer Simpson to Kaiser Wilhelm. My personal favorite, from way back, is Benjamin Franklin's phrase: Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. I couldn't agree more, Mr Franklin.

What's your favorite beer saying?
