I like this word a lot.

For me:

Eggs

T.S. Eliot

Ezra Pound

Portlandia (yeah, there are some funny bits)

Socks

Underwear

Soda

Candy Corn

Bananas

Cars

Air Conditioning

Bagels

"Awkward" comedy (with some exceptions I guess)

I think I'll cut it off there, because I'm sure there are a lot more . . .

I only like Montreal bagels. They are not the same in New York or anywhere else for that matter.

Also, I agree Portlandia isn't that great. I kinda dislike the format.

I've heard people say that about Montreal bagels. I've only spent short periods of time in Montreal but it's always great. Someday I'll have to include bagels to see if it changes my mind. Where is the best spot for bagels in your book?

St-Viateur bagels are the classic Montreal bagels, but you have to buy them fresh from St-Viateur. They outsourced a bit and have breakfast places and deliver them to some stores but it's not the same. Still hot from the bagel oven is the way to go.

Check out all those bags of sesame seeds. They must do a ton of business.

Nice. Thanks for the tip.

Portlandia is one of those shows that can really make me laugh 3/10 "sketches", and I really root for it to be better but it just isn't.
