STOP putting raisins in the coleslaw. Raisins are very sweet and coleslaw is sweet already because of the mayo dressing. (I once ordered coleslaw at Cracker Barrel. They apparently scooped from the bottom, because my coleslaw was absolutely DROWNING in the dressing. It was more dressing than coleslaw. But at least I didn’t find any raisins.) The raisins make the coleslaw even sweeter. The coleslaw is supposed to be a salad, not dessert. It’s supposed to have a tangy taste, not an overly sweet taste. You put raisins in cookies. You don’t put raisins in salad, or coleslaw. Who thought up such abomination as raisins in coleslaw?

For a long time now what Klinger says in “Preventative Medicine”, while waving a little colonel doll and a chicken, nagged at me because it seemed vaguely familiar. Today I suddenly remembered. The “floy-floy” came from the 1930’s novelty swing number “The Flat Foot Floogee with the Floy-Floy”. I heard this growing up because my parents liked it and occasionally played it. It wedged itself into my long term memory and I forgot about it until now. It’s a catchy tune, isn’t it?

Buying pants at 16: “But Maaaaa! EVERYONE is wearing these!”

Buying pants at 66: “These pants are so comfortable and stretchy, I can take naps and do yoga in these. I’ll take them.”

I was still using a Dustbuster in 2015 because it’s a convenient thing to have. (Especially when you have pets.) In fact, I upgraded to a newer model about 3 years ago. And I didn’t get it at an antique store. I bought it at Walmart.

Or was it simply a case of, in the 2015 of Back to the Future, everyone was using super high tech, futuristic versions of the Dustbuster to clean up their little spills, but here’s the original model that’s so old, it’s really a museum piece? Just like what we do with computers now?
