14. Save the Tape Ears!

Sorry, but the pronunciation and the reporter's approach are a hoot. "Where are the Tape Ears?"

8. It's also National Tobin's Birthday Day

I am a trucker who uses a CB, although today I'm going to take the day off; have a dinner of tacos, cinnamon rolls, and Bloody Marys; and finish the day by looking at the night sky and then petting my cats before I go to bed.

16. Roy Blount Jr.'s birthday.

From "The Way Folks Were Meant to Eat":

"People I grew up with wanted to get on out beyond their appetite a way, to make sure they used all of it. They worked to get full. They intended to get full. If a meal left them feeling just a touch short of overstuffed, they were disappointed. But eating right is not a question of quantity. Primarily it is quality. It's not letting any available taste go unswallowed.

I grew up eating with people who didn't just take a few of the most obvious bites out of a piece of chicken and decide, abstractly, 'Well, I have eaten this piece of chicken.' They recognized that the institution of fried chicken demands a great deal of chicken, and they felt bound to hold up their end. They ate down to the bones, pulled them apart, ate in between them, and chewed on the bones themselves.

A book should be read like a person eats chicken. Something with plenty of unabashed and also intimate flavor. Ruddy and deep-fried flavor, flavor hard to separate from the structure, flavor that is really exhaustible. Gettin' all the good of it should be the determination of a reader as well as an eater, and a writer as well as a cook should be ready to get plenty of good, more than necessary, into it."
