Blog Mission Statement
A simple grilled cheese sandwich. Something that can be procured anywhere at any time. Nothing too exciting, right?
But what if I put a little butter on the bread before I grilled that sandwich? That would add a little extra zing, right? And what if instead of using plain old American cheese I opted for something a tad more exotic, like Camembert, Stilton or Roquefort? Now we're talking, right?
And what if instead of using bread for my grilled cheese sandwich I used two large blocks of pure platinum? And what if instead of eating the platinum I sold it and then used that small fortune as venture capital for a Beijing-based conglomerate that could take advantage of Chinese local business incentives, cheap labor, lax environmental laws and surging global interest in the fastest-growing economy in the world, thereby ensuring returns in the billions of dollars even in the face of a collapsing U.S. dollar and a massive industrial shift from the technical to service business sector? Wouldn't that be nice?
That's exactly what Francesco Explains It All is. In an endless buffet of indistinguishable tastes, it's the grilled platinum Stilton cheese sandwich that could forever destabilize geoeconomics. Care for a bite?

Does that mean Sally's sister is a staunch (S-T-A-U-N-C-H) woman? BTW, the musical of GREY GARDENS is wonderful. Hope you were able to see it.
Megaprops for the Grey Gardens reference. Too cool.
I thought the Grey Gardens reference was cool, too - it's just a shame that so few people got it, you felt compelled to explain it.
Yes, I am a grumpy old coot.
Is it true Jackie did some "art modeling" when she was younger? I think we'd like to see those strips...
I think it's great that Sally Forth can use obscure Broadway shows as punchlines. It makes me feel really smart. And just a little gay.
It occurs to me that my Gang of Four quote from the other thread would have been just as applicable here.
Oh, you shouldn't have to explain a 'Gray Gardens' reference. There's GOOGLE, for Christ's sake.
