Last saw you doing stand-up in Philly. THAT Michelle. The Michelle of your "I have a" dreams. ahem.

The little buggers! This is kind of off subject, but it is MLK day, and this has been kind of (persistently and incessantly) bothering me...at Wal-Mart, they sell these WM store brand scoop shaped corn chips, and they call them "Diggers"...aside from the obvious potential misinterpretation of the word spoken aloud, the font is such that if you cover just a millimeter of the bottom of the "D", it looks like something, er um, really bad. At first it was delightful and funny, and I had an empty bag taped to my fridge so I could point it out and ponder about who makes the names for Wal-Mart products, and don't they run them by some kind of sensitivity committee first? with anyone who would listen to me. Couldn't they have named them "dippers"?!? But now on MLK day, I'm feeling vaguely guilty, and have put the bag in the trash. I'd like to say I'll never buy them again, but they're like 99 cents, and soooooo good! (I just said out loud to myself "Ooooh I just LOVE diggers!" and now I feel guilty again.) So Joe, if you are ever in a Wally-Wal, (if you are still in the midwest or whatever, you'll probably be no more than half a mile from one at any given time) and you find yourself in the chip isle...check those diggers out. Bye! Kids do say the darndest(most insensitive yet funny) things. The little buggers!
