Friday High Fives (01/20/06)

This week's five items, ideas, and individuals that I am thankful for, appreciate, or admire.

Quiznos' Black Angus on Rosemary Parmesan Bread
Black Angus steak, mozzarella, cheddar, mushrooms, sautéed onions, Honey Bourbon Mustard and Zesty Grille Sauce. Need I say more?

IE Tab Firefox Extension
I am in grad school at Depaul and they have this ridiculous dependence on Internet Explorer, Comedy Central's video clips for some reason do not work in Firefox, and you need IE to run windows update. It isn't a big deal to launch the IE browser, just a minor irk. Thankfully there is the IE Tab extension to make me happy.

Jon Stewart
Thank you for asking difficult questions. It speaks volumes about the fourth estate when the toughest interviews come from a fake news anchor who has credits like Half Baked and Death to Smoochy.

Matt Millen
Thank you for continuing to demonstrate that you have no idea how to run an NFL team. This guy could turn out to be a good head coach but, given your track record, I like my chances of winning the lottery tonight better than you actually making a good decision. I know you are happy to get the hiring of your head coach out of the way. By locking up your guy (who has been a positions coach for his entire career with no coordinator or head coaching experience) you're now freed up to figure out which WR you'd like to draft with the 9th pick in this years draft.

Sur La Table
The Sofa King loves to cook and if you love to cook you love this store. It has everything you possibly could want for your kitchen and the ones in Chicago have great staffs that are very friendly. There have been some grumblings about management being haters due to the firing of an employee for comments made to his blog regarding his post about Rachel Ray's visit to the Lincoln Park store but on the scale of corporate atrocities this doesn't register high enough for a boycott. It is a shame he got dooced but that is why you blog anonymously.
