Tidlets after Giblets:

Today's Tids Issue 2,243

Opening Stuff:

I'm thinking it's time to stop the Afghan action. Just keep the al-Qaida camps on satellite and bomb them as needed.

I don't like the way that Kim Il Jong's son is flying into power upon a sword

Hey Kanye...your fifteen minutes of fame is up.

The Question:
Thinking of eating again this soon after yesterday's gargantuan feast is probably not high priority. But Michelin has just announced its list of Top Gourmet cities. Name the top two.

The Headlines:

--NK Warns That Region I On Brink Of War.
--Portugal Adopts Austerity Over Bailout.
--Shoppers Start Christmas Rush In Wee Hours Of The Morning.
--Stocks Fall As Investors Run From Risks Associated With EU Debt Problems.
--Russia Opens Plant Designed To Destroy Chemical Weapons.
--Teenage Boys Adrift In South Pacific For 50 Days Found.

Back to a Little Stuff:
I see that the people of Warsaw Poland have just proudly unveiled in the center of the city the largest statue of Jesus Christ in the world. What are the chances of that happening here?

Why do they make music CD's so hard to open?

The NCAA has formed anew committee to attack "Gender Violence". What kind of name is that.? Why don't they call it what it is -- Thug like athletes pummeling and raping coeds.

Reading between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Burlesque is getting all the hype, and may even be very entertaining, that is if you disregard a very predictable plot. Christina Aquilera plays your basic Midwestern small town looking for fame. Cher owns a Burlesque house on the verge of bankruptcy. Small town Tess is cocktail waitress who finds her way to the stage where her big voice draws big crowds thus saving the club. It is what it is. It can't bebabd.
--Faster is stereotypical revenge pick with little heart. Guy gets out of Prison and goes after those who killed his Bro. Everything about this picture seems small.
--Love & Other Drugs is a very sexy comedy about a free spirit, resolute girl who who lets nothing stop her until she meets relentless and nearly infallible charming guy. These two Prescription drug salespeople get addicted to love.

Yup...Thanksgiving is the best holiday alright.

I think I'll take a nap. Full Tids back on Monday.

The Answer: 
 The two big Gastronomic cities are number 1 Tokyo and then the traditional #1 Paris.

Tokyo, huh? the only reason I never made it to the top CEO job because I would refuse to travel to Japan where I might be forced as a courtesy to eat Japanese food with customers.
