    In most cases, if you simply microwave a little longer, you can avoid the stirring step.

    Personally, I’m really partial to Weight Watcher’s new “Smart Ones” pancake, french toast, and waffle breakfasts. You do have to place their syrup packets in a cup of hot water to defrost them, though, so they’re not exactly effort-free.

    The stirring in the middle part is so you will feel like a real cook.

    The stirring in the middle is the most dangerous part of the operation but I live for this kind of excitement.

    And you don’t need clothes to microwave. Don’t try frying bacon without your clothes on.

    The juxtaposition of the last panel and the placing of the words gave rise to unpleasant meanings of “stirring in the middle.”

    Since I never buy boxed frozen dinners, I shall never have this problem. My microwave is used almost exclusively for heating up leftovers, but yes I too stir.

    If you don’t stir, the first bite will have the sensation of eating a glacier on the sun.

    Like Baslim, I loved Smokey Stover as a kid. Didn’t realize (remember?) he was from a half hour south of here. Are you saying It’s Not Unusual for men to be pregnant?

    I didn’t realize GREEN bean is a regionalism. I just thought it was a descriptive qualifier since string beans can have green, yellow, red, purple or even variegated pods.

    @blog typewriter: Model 50 Imperial Standard Dual Unit typewriter, with two physically separate keyboards mounted side-by-side; one universal standard qwerty; the other bearing mathematical symbols. The keyboards on these units were interchangeable. c.1955 – c.1960. DUNUC 3068apparantly the 2nd keyboard is for non-standard symbols.

    By the way… as for your typewriter with 2 keyboards, very old typewriters had one keyboard for capital letters and a second for lower case. Also, later “scientific typewriters” sometimes had a second keyboard for the extra characters necessary, and I assume a second keyboard could also be handy for bilingual typing (for languages with different characters from English).

    Some older typewriters had two keyboards, one for lower and one for uppercase letters.

    When cooking in the nude, the microwave is your best bet, lest you set forested nether regions aflame. Then again, if a hot waxing of the aereolas is what you’re into, by all means, go for it!

    “The Giant Claw”? That one is so bad, it’s good. One story is that Sam Katzman got a relatively large budget for it, then saved some money by having the giant bird made in Mexico City for twenty dollars. What should have been a sleek, fiendish monster turned into a goofball marionette.

    The saddest thing about the movie is that it had some good actors who did their best. One actor snuck out of the theater when it premiered in his home town. Another just sank deeper into her seat when she saw it. And none of the actors saw the monster during the filming; its scenes were filmed by the second unit and edited into the film. So the actors performed as though they saw the fiendish predator described in the script, which made the audience laugh harder.

    At the end, the bird crashes into the sea, with only its clawed foot still above the water. When I showed the movie to my brother he asked “Did the monster just flip us the bird?”
