We’ve stopped trying to give things away, but we do like to call some attention to clever/accurate/downright impressive comments posted on City of Ate. So our favorites from the past seven days, no prizes attached:
From TLS, in response to the Question Of The Week:
“The Costco sampling stations are always crowded and the employees who
man them look like they hate the human race. I usually hate the human
race by the time I’m in the check-out lane too.”
We feel the same way, TLS.
From Christopher, in response to Dude Food:
“I tend to idolize the meatballs as golden brown orbs of delicious dead
animal triumphantly plopped atop the pizza as if to say–BEHOLD, I GIVE
YOU MEAT!–and so I dismissed your frustration as finicky. But I
suppose that you could also look at the same meatballs instead as
hoarding and burdensome oppositions to fulfilling what the Germans call
Rindfleischlust–why not meat everywhere?; make it a meatzza; let no
bite be without meat!”
Lurid, poetic, dramatic…what a great comment.
Also from Christopher, in response to same:
“I believe that all men should be cautious of hubris. History has
provided countless warnings: Icarus, Homer’s Achilles, Carrot Top…”
We love references to the classics.
