Since we're all about one-word themes, and I'm all about the Food Network at the moment (while waiting to watch the late run of Battlestar Galactica), no reason to break with tradition.
So, today's word: chef.
Go wacky go nuts.
Laurence - The Difference Between Chef and Cook
They flipped a coin.
Bob won. "You type."
When Terrence typed "Cook" in the field for Occupation, Bob balked.
"He's a chef, not a cook," said Bob.
"There is no difference between chef and cook," said Terrence. "Chefs are professional cooks, and professional only means that you're getting paid."
"Professionalism means more than just payment," said Bob. "There's an element of experience, and dedication you're leaving out."
"Fine," said Terrence. As always, he got out the correction fluid, painted over "Cook" and typed in "Chef."
"Thank you," said Bob. "So, what does the coroner think?"
"Medical examiner. "
Bob groaned.
Ted: Saturday Morning, 10 A.M., 2253.
The chef looked up from his menu board as the inspector made her entrance.
"I'm looking for this girl," she said by way of introduction, thrusting a photo under his nose.
The chef took the photo and examined it. He noticed things in order of importance: she was nude, she was blonde, she had about thirty extra pounds along her flanks, and she had a small hummingbird tattoo on her left butt cheek.
"Except for the tattoo, she could have been last night's entree."
"Thanks. Lemme know if you see her around, she's a vegetarian terrorist, and must be stopped."
Michele: No More, No Les
”So as you can see, I’m a very confused man. And when I get confused, I watch TV. Television is never confusing. It’s all so simple somehow.”
