Not very long ago, I was singing the praises of cold pizza and ravioli from a can.
This morning while riding in to work, I was putting the finishing touches on Augusten Burroughs' book of short essays Possible Side Effects when he had the audacity to mention eating ravioli cold out of the can. So, he took my idea, went back in time, wrote about it well before I did, and then made it seem like it was his idea all along. I know!
I'm more than willing to admit I can be derivative at times (see every single post on my blog), but the Ravioli is mine Augusten! You stole that from me.
Keep writing about all that other strange stuff from your childhood and life (read his book Running With Scissors before seeing the movie when it's released please) but the Chef's heart belongs to me.

"...derivative at times ( see every post on my glob)"...HAHHAHAHAHAHA OHMYGOD!
I have to stop reading your site because it's so funny! (how's that for logic!)
Now, how about some cold pizza from a can?
Stupid Augusten Burroughs, copying from what you thought of, after the fact...jeez!
How dare Augusten steal from the Dale! Good thing I read Running with Scissors years ago and can enjoy the movie when it comes out. Oh, and I picked up that collection this weekend.
Ha! Very funny. I could go on for days about my psychic links where people from the past have stolen my ideas.
Can I just say today, though, that I have clicked into your blog at least once a day and only now just saw you latest posts? I guess my browser cache was showing me an old version (the last one I saw was "Travelocity.") Just didn't want you to think I was ignoring all your brilliant work. Although I guess it's already all been written in the past - we just don't know by who, yet.
Time traveling bastards!
I hate them all....
I hear some sucker stole your Passion idea as well and went back in time to suffer and make it all seem like his idea.
Good things your mom's do laundry together. This can all be worked out.
I hate when that happens!
Glad I made you laugh. But could I make Augusten laugh? I'll have to blog about my pizza in a can sometime now won't I?
Beth, wasn't Running with Scissors excellent? This collection was decent and had some good laughs in it.
CP - I'm sure we're both underappreciated stolen from geniuses. No, you are! Refresh early, refresh often.
Me too Skincarver. Those bastards fly like an eagle...
Hey JustaMelcat, you're a funny funny cat.
Me too Old Lady. Thanks for the ongoing support.
Boy-O-Boy-Ardee! Augusten just has good taste, like you.
It's mmm mmm good in a way Campbell's could never be Tenacious S!
I see that others stole your invention of the English language, went back in time, and claimed it as their own. Of course, in the US we've improved upon it somewhat by dropping the unnecessary 'u' in such words as neighbor or color.
There's something to be said for not always taking the shortcut but enjoying the scenic route X. Dell. If we ever amalgamated Canada, I supposed we'd have to abbreviate it further to just be S.A.?
