We Are The Dave’s

January 29, 2012

Alongside today being the birthdays of, oh, W.C. Fields and Tom Selleck, the Investigations Unit of this blog has discovered an all-important calendar even. Today is the 27th anniversary of the recording of “We Are The World.” This is notable in that it brought together the unlikely combinations of musicians who, if you ask us, [...]

The Encyclopedia of Style

January 14, 2012

Having survived Friday the 13th relatively intact, the Calendar Department of this blog now prepares you for January 15th. And on this day in ancient history (well, in 2001, which only seems like a long, long time ago), Wikipedia, that Internet encyclopedia thingamabob, went live, online, into the electronically connected universe. And we learned this, [...]

Leaping into Leap Year

December 30, 2011

We’d wax all nostalgic about the year that was 2011, but we’re too excited about the prospects for 2012 to get too sentimental. Still, it’s not too late to tell you that 2011 was the United Nations’ International Year of Forests and the International Year of Chemistry. Okay. Enough about that. 2012 is a leap [...]

A Holiday Poem For You

December 24, 2011

T’was the night before Excess, when all through the house
All the closet creatures were stirring, scaring even the mouse;
The coats were hopping on their hooks with some flare
In hopes that Dave’s New York soon would be there.
The boots were stomping…because noise was the goal,
While visions of winter socks danced on their inner sole.
And jeans with [...]

And Now a Word From Our Sponsor

December 21, 2011

This blog is not in the habit of giving time or space to product placement. And yet, every year one sponsor in particular always gives us a holiday present…and a lot to talk about. We are referring, of course, to Winter Solstice: coming tomorrow to the Northern Hemisphere nearest you. Winter begins tomorrow, yes, like [...]

Quality Dreams

November 25, 2011

On Thanksgiving, we ate turkey. And it put us to sleep, and we dreamed…that the people in Turkey ate turkey, too, but didn’t make a big deal about it. The people in Chile ate chili. In Belgium they enjoyed Brussels sprouts and Belgian waffles. In France: French toast with a side of French fries. One [...]

Talkin’ Turkey

November 21, 2011

The public service department of our blog requested some space to speak frankly about the origins of Thanksgiving. Seems we might not have first landed on Plymouth Rock in 1621. Saint Augustine, Florida is claiming the first feast. And Virginia is staking a claim as well. And that’s not even folding in the Canadian versions. [...]

The North Face and Canada Goose can help you Weather the Winter

October 29, 2011

We don’t want to seem ungrateful, what with humans on Earth being the only sustainable life we know, so far, in the universe. That said, ain’t it a bit early for the nor’easter that just dumped some snow on our Saturday, here and now in October, with winter still officially a couple months away? We [...]

Canada Goose and Goji Berries for Warm Coats and Health

October 22, 2011

So, we’re working at the food co-op—we won’t mention it by name; it’s in Park Slope—and this guy comes over and asks us if we have any goji berries. We don’t have any goji berries. He looks very sad about that news…and then gives us a 10-minute tutorial on benefits of goji berries. They’re powerful [...]

Dream-Worthy Winter Wear From Canada Goose

December 26, 2010

We’re at James Cameron’s house. He’s about to finish shooting his new movie. A toddler swings from ropes, spraying the bad guys with a water bottle because the MPAA won’t let kids hold guns on film. We tell the producer it’s an awful movie and suggest that Cameron needs to reshoot all the scenes. The [...]
