Excruciatingly Trivial Items Thread

Trivial irritation-
my bank calls my account with them a 'product', as though it were some manufactured article. Worse, it is their 'product', not mine...
 
Today's ETI: V-2 rocket engines being test-fired in a Los Angeles parking lot. And here I thought weird stuff was going on during the war...

(No, not exactly trivial: look what happened afterward. I just hope nobody's Packard got taken out in the process.)

Couldn't agree more- about the franchise, not the fogie.

Recently on RFF, someone posted: At a Star Wars convention, there are no winners. (Which implies that they are the opposit.)

This reminded me of another story I read longer ago about a photographer taking his wife to a camera fair for the first time. They arrived, then walked around independently for a while. When they met up again, the wife remarked, "Oh my god, they're all geeks in here!"
 
Avotius-
Its true, you know- all those combustion products in and on the meat, some are carcinogens.

Yes im sure there are lots of bad things on the meat here but combustion products is not one of them because I have seen have they prepare the fire and its with kindling and a little paper, but im sure there is enough bad stuff in there too.

Hm...yeah, I wanted to be there but couldnt do the 14000 km commute, its a real killer! :)
