W. R. Slade

A very obscure motion picture reference. In the movie Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino’s character Lt. Col. Frank Slade takes Charlie to the home of his brother W. R. Slade (played by Richard Venture) for a surprise visit on Thanksgiving.

W. R. Slade only appears in this one scene and is only called by name twice. First when Frank calls out for him after entering the house shouting “Willie! Oh Willie!”. Secondly when Frank introduces him to Charlie as “W. R. Slade, the original bulging briefcase man”.

My username, W. R. Slade, is such an obscure movie reference that nobody gets it.

Get the W. R. Slade mug.

Mexanese

When the Chinese buffet gets so many Mexican patrons that they create cross culture dishes to cater to them.

You should try the jalapeño chicken on the buffet. It’s really good, but I don’t think it’s really Chinese.

It’s Mexanese.

Corn or Peas

A hilarious game to play when left alone at somebody else’s house. You take every can you can find in their kitchen and or pantry, remove the labels, and then return them, but definitely not back to where they came from. For months they will be guessing what each can contains.

This soup is pretty good Maggie, beef, corn, green beans, and carrots!

Yah, it was supposed to be chili, but Dan played Corn or Peas last week when I told him he could wait here for Jenni to get back and I left for work. Last night I had ham and ravioli, and the dog had cream of chicken soup. I haven’t found the Alpo yet…
