		<description>&lt;strong&gt;alex&lt;/strong&gt;, a fine catch.

&lt;strong&gt;brian&lt;/strong&gt;, my BIL, who manages a movie theater, has been known to set up after-hours xbox on the big screen. if i tivo this, there must be a way to hook it up...

&lt;strong&gt;so who lives within a reasonable distance of central NJ&lt;/strong&gt;, where the theater is?

of course, i should probably, y&#039;know, &lt;em&gt;ask &lt;/em&gt;him.</description>

		<description>Maybe someone already said this...

Gail: I wish there were more of that herb
Other judge: yeah, it&#039;s bland

Peel : Oh, I forgot Olive oil.. 

hum, dude, olive oil might be capital to many dishes, but it&#039;s not the kinda thing you go like : Hum, this sauce/vinaigrette could use more kick and flavor, let&#039;s add oil. She did say MORE OF THAT HERB!</description>

		<description>MST3K is one of my all-time favorite t.v. shows.  Most people look at me askance when I quote it or mention it.  I love the idea of a TopChef3K.  We would so need snacks.  Good snacks.  Not Mikey/cheeto/vending machine snacks.  

Kelly Choi: Is she a real human or is she an Animatronic Bobblehead? Did she eat anything on camera this week?  

John Besh:  All kinds of awesome. Can I legally adopt him as a brother? Is that possible?  Even my husband loves Besh. We were totally pulling for him.  Bummer.

No tortillas:  Jerk.  Who hates tortillas?

Anita Lo: Scares me in an I-Love-Her kind of way. She&#039;s stealthy.  That withering glance saved her from flat-liner territory, though.  Lo&#039;s not so big on the emoting.

Peel: I don&#039;t know what to think about him.  I&#039;m conflicted.

I finally realized that the reason Gail bugs me. She reminds me of girls in high school who really were idiots but were cute and popular and pulled good grades because they learned a couple important key words and flattered the right people. &quot;Bellini&quot;?  Crying over eggs? Gruesome in a good way? Puh-leeze.

The creepiest moment of the night was that guy pulling a poor, drugged up rabbit out of his rats&#039; nest hair. And I didn&#039;t get his schtick.  What in heaven&#039;s name does pulling a rabbit out of your crazy hair have to do with Japan and Samurais?  Is that a lesser known Samurai skill set? This reinforces my disdain for magicians. 

Did anyone else catch NPH telling Kelly &quot;Bobblehead&quot; Choi that the rabbit was peeing on her?  THAT was a moment to remember.</description>

		<description>There appeared to be a crack in the floor at the critics table which caused my husband to fear that Kelly might fall into until I pointed out to him that her head would catch and save her.

I&#039;m all for the MST3K idea.  I&#039;ll bring booze.</description>
