it comes in pints?

Sauerkraut is nature's most perfect food. All good hearted, life-loving people enjoy it in scads. Therefore, I cannot trust anything such a horrible person like you would say ever again.

Oh, like you trusted me before. Anybody who likes sauerkraut is obviously a kitten-torturing fascist.

Only a non-sauerkrauter would say "kitten-torturing" as if it was a bad thing. You're a double fascist.

I can't think of a worse insult than "sauerkraut eater." So there. You super-duper-triple fascist. Hitler would be proud.

Oh, the memories of Sha Na Na. What a show.

So, a crowd of spiders on top of a cliff would be maximally scary? Snobby ones, covered in sauerkraut?

Now, I think sauerkraut is fine, if you rinse the evil, vile vinegar off it, in which case it's just delicious cabbage. (Suffice it to say, the abominations called sauerkraut most places are not worthy of the name. Actual German-style kraut is far superior. Which I guess just makes it clear how hard it is to copy the Germans well.)

You hate sauerkraut AND like Lewis Black?

How are we friends?

Sheila,
Sha-Na-Na ruled.

Sig,
My step-family is German so I've always had the proper variety. Hated, hated, hated it. Still hate it. I grew into other foods that I didn't like as a kid, but never the food of choice for fascists and grandma haters.

Lisa,
Because we've never had dinner during the Daily Show together?

Bwah!

Actually, when he stays away from politics, I think he's pretty dadgummed funny. His riff on being Ireland ("where they're drunk ALL DAY") is hilarious.

I can't watch The Daily Show anymore. Blood pressure, you know. ;)

And I only like sauerkraut in Hot German Potato Salad, not on its own.

Grandma haters? Are you sure you didn't mean "Granma" haters since you have such a strong fascist love for Castro that you can't stand that I hate it? Yeah, that's what you meant, infinity fascist.

Amazing. You lump The Doors in with Janis Joplin and disco. How can anyone be so ignorant?

But I'm with you on the sauerkraut. Ugh!

Marc,
I loved my grandma and hated sauerkraut, so the logic naturally follows that anyone who doesn't hate sauerkraut doesn't love their grandmother.

Jeff,
I wasn't lumping them together in the sense that they're similar. The only thing they have in common is that I don't like them.

I just saw Sha Na Na this summer, and several of the band members were original. For a geezer act, those guys can still rock!

I'll make you a deal: You don't speak unkindly of the Lady Janis, and I won't make you listen to her. Damn few singers have been able to "hail souls out of men's bodies" with a sad song as she could.

Joel,
Trust me. Making me listen to her would result in acts of violence which you may not survive. But I'll bear your fandom in mind in the future.

How about Janice Joplin covered with sauerkraut, singing the Barney song?

As long as I didn't have to EAT the sauerkraut...

Because I STILL can't do this right:

Ya know, I read this and in the next moment my Bride announces that dinner will be kielbasa baked with sauerkraut and apples. And beer to drink.

Do not stand behind me in a few hours.

And no open flames.

Jeff, I wasn't lumping them together in the sense that they're similar. The only thing they have in common is that I don't like them.

Touche', Emily!
