1. There are born winners and born losers.

But you have to play for 90 minutes to figure out which is which.

2. Lombardi-esque

3. I think I saw that in an old Woody Allen movie.

4. When words fail, laughter will...

...have to suffice -

Makes me think of candle salad (from 2018 with a nod to then-Velveteen Ocelot)

7. One of the funniest retro recipes is for Candle Salad.

Into the gutter we go -

9. My mom made that once! Only once, I might add.

When one of these salads appeared by each of our plates at one Sunday dinner many years ago, my brother and I (we were teenagers) and my dad gave each other the side-eye and burst out laughing. Mom accused us of having dirty minds, to which we pled guilty. She didn't serve "candle" salads again.

10. Actually, your post is the one I remember about that salad.

I laughed until I cried, just picturing the scene at your table. I think you had a photo of that salad. Topped with whipped cream, if I recall, so really suggestive for those having reached puberty.

I tried to find a good image, but couldn't.

13. It's easy. Make it for your family or guests some time,

see if anybody says anything. I still remember my mom indignantly insisting that "Those are candles!"
