subway characters

5. The Token Little Smiling Asian girl - uffffff!!!! What’s up with Asian girls always looking happy? I think that’s why all men love them. They’re small, thin, cute, […]

my man rants about food network
Bourdain is too funny.
Some snippets:
ALTON BROWN: How did Alton slip inside the wire–and stay there all these years? He must have something on them. He’s smart. You actually learn something from his commentary.PAULA DEEN: I’m reluctant to bash what seems to be a nice old lady. Even if her supporting cast is beginning to look […]
