Benicia is a pretty little town with a number of artists and artisans (and one of the past capitals of California), but this woman was not one of them. ---

Good grief. I just jumped here from the Trolls thread where they were making Python references. What the heck is going on here? Is it a Python anniversary or something? ---

I don’t get it… Has Guy Fieri been controversial lately for some reason? ---

I suspect @Guest-starring_Id’s point is that Fieri’s schtick is eating waay too much of waaay unhealthy food. Which as one gets older is likely to catch up with one. $100M is nice, but it’s nicer to be able to live to spend it. Given that size of a contract for a 3 year deal, it’s likely Fieri is already not exactly hurting for income and assets. “Digging your grave with your spoon” is an old saying for a reason. ---

And even if that were his schtick, getting paid $100 million for it doesn’t strike me as very stupid. I mean, heck, pay me that much, and I’ll eat junk for a few years, too. ---
