I have an I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter rip off called Tastes Like Butter. I Can’t Believe it Exists. I Can’t Believe I Bought it. I tried it today. With the first bite of my little slathered slice of multi-grain bread I could hear ad copy saying, tastes like real creamery butter…and…chemicals. I added that last part. Have these people ever tasted butter?
I hate that ad copy anyway. Real creamery butter, you say? Is that different from real butter that’s made in a butter factory? I Can’t Believe How Much I now Dislike the Word Butter.
In other news, I’m 4 episodes and the pilot into season 1 of Beverly Hills 90201, which I watched back in the day when it was on television. It was a birthday gift (thanks, Jenn!). I was pretty excited to see my old pals from West Beverly High. However…I Can’t Believe I Like This Show. The episodes I’ve watched so far are full of plot holes and dropped treads. Oh, and the acting. What an abomination. I always wondered why so few of the actors from 90210 went on to do anything else.
What else? I Can’t Believe They Didn’t Include the Pagans on this interactive map on the spread of religion (go watch, it’s only 90 seconds long).
[I Can Believe that Dan Goodsell is Mr. Toast's artist. Good stuff.]

I think everyone has tried I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter – but I have to say I have never seen a generic version of the fake butter stuff. Hmm – I should have known that there would be a market for it with the health conciousness of everyone. I have to admit that I’m still shocked no matter what.

I’m not so sure the health conscious would want to eat this product.

I’m kind of bummed that you’re not enjoying the 90210 discs. We LOVED that show and everytime I see Jason Priestly, I think of you. Although come to think of it, he hasn’t been around much lately…. though I still think about you.
BTW, we want to know when you’re going to come visit us. You can eat some of Jeff’s Olivio spread. I do not, however, eat margarine in any form. I probably even spelled it wrong. I prefer real creamery butter, but I can live with factory butter in a pinch.

Also, you should know that I didn’t expect great things from 90210. After having gone through Six Feet Under, SATC and The Sopranos, really, can anything else stack up?
Speaking of the Sopranos, have you seen it, and does Olivia Soprano remind you of anyone in particular??? I swear, just watching it gives me flashbacks and the occasional heart palpitation.

I am enjoying 90210. I’m in the present tense, Mama. (“I Can’t Believe I Like This Show.”)
What’s SATC?
Olivia…what do you think? Borderline personality disorder?

I doubt that I could ever sit through it again, but I used to laugh my beige ass off at BEVERLY HILLS 90210 when it originally aired because it was a soap version of exactly what I grew up with in Connecticut. The only thing funnier was MAD TV’s parody of the genre, “Pretty White Kids With Problems,” with the Luke Perry stand-in earnestly looking into the camera and proclaiming that he’s really fifteen, then turning around to reveal a very obvious bald spot.

Sex and The City, one of my most favorite shows ever. And I have it on good authority that Entourage is a kick ass show as well.
I watch 90210 for the fashion and blonde Tori Spelling.
