& Totino's®
Frozen Pizzas containing pepperoni are being recalled, due to the possibility of E. coli bacteria in the pepperoni. Tell mom to be careful when she's nuking your lunch today, basement dwellers!!Some technical questions: Both of these fine products are made by the Pillsbury division of the General Mills Corporation. So why bother w/ two different brands, for what is essentially the same shit? Can anyone tell the difference between Jeno's® & Totino's®? Indeed, is there any difference other than packaging? Why the limited palette of Jeno's®:
Combination
Pepperoni
Sausage
Supreme
Cheese
compared to Totino's®:
Canadian Style Bacon
Cheese
Classic Pepperoni
Combination
Hamburger
Mexican Style
Mini Meatball
Pepperoni
Pepperoni Trio
Sausage
Supreme
Three Cheese
Three Meat?
What's the difference between "Classic Pepperoni" & "Pepperoni?" Not to mention "Pepperoni Trio?" Three pepperonis, all w/ E. coli? Why no Jeno's® Pizza Rolls®? Yet Totino's® has Pizza Rolls® & MEGA Pizza Rolls®?
Frankly, we here @ Just Another Blog™ are very confused. Can someone help us?

Undoubtedly, many, many MBAs working overtime went into creating the panoply of "food" products offered my both Jeno's and Totino's. And who am I to doubt the wisdom of an MBA? After all, our president has such a degree and look at how the US turned out under his leadership!
P.
I haven't laughed like this reading other blogs, but you sure make it hard to leave a compliment! I couldn't find any contact info. I found you cos you had the decency to link to me, guess I'm not only in LA, but a LA native.
Anyway, could you please update the link to me to just jennylens.com and drop the /index, cos that's a really fucked up site, whereas jennylens.com is a blog and I get to rant about Clear Channel banning Springsteen and the brutal murder of Linda Stein and of course my usual thang about our "Fast Food Nation" (now that should be required reading, along with that other book, the one they give away at hotels) and announce when I finally post more punk pix.
I would post lots more but I changed to Wordpress and omg there's a slippery slope I slid down! It's a really powerful blogging platform, but you gotta be a programmer to make it work fast and lean. It's getting skinny while I bloat up sitting on my getting fatter ass, but hey, it's what I have to do to get tons of pix to the peeps. In LA and elsewhere.
I am so glad you can write funny, cos I lost my sense of humor, except for the State Dept peeps who are yapping at Condi and BushCo, "hell no, we won't go." Who knew it might be the State Dept to get us outta Iraq? No, wake up Jenny, it will take more than that.
Thanks for mentioning Gramps Bush who made a fortune killing Americans by working with the Nazis. Nice bit of history that too few know. They get this here thang called the internet, it's got all kinds of info about the Bush dynasty.
If you or anyone are punk fans, Nov 11 at the Echo is 'Live at the Masque' book celebration and ageing punks having a go at it onstage, and Nov 18 at La Luz 'Punk 365' book photo exhibit.
I've got 34 pix in Masque book and 24 in Punk 365 (would have had twice as many but my publisher freaked out). Hooray for big companies. Whatever.
Not just my pix at these events, but a bunch of other folks from LA too. So that's why if you change my link to jennylens.com, peeps can see my pix and read all about it.
I need a ride from the westside to the other side of town, by the way. LA used to be a cool town to traverse, now I need a ride. So it goes.
thanks!
The Editor Babbles:
Dear Ms. Lens,
You're welcome! Done! And we got an item from your request & pimped your upcoming book. As we type your site seems more text than HTML, but you may be messing w/ it.
Linked to you 'cause you're local, we stole one of your photos (w/ attribution, of course) & we remember the good old days. We keep meaning to put Alice Bag over there too.
Thanks for saying we make you laugh. No need for flattery, though.
The Editor Stands Corrected: We don't think we did use one of your pix, your warnings may have scared us off. It may have been punk turns 30 linking to you, or Alice Bag linking to you. Whatever. Thanks for the link update. Now maybe we will grab a photo.
Thanks for the great reply and helping spread the word! I was talking about the link in your sidebar, which is a very appropriate place to link to me! I don't know why or how the link became jennylens.com/index when it always was jennylens.com. See the fun part about being a webmistress? No control.
You just inspired me to try something. I need to redesign the html old web page to redirect peeps! See, that's what I'm talking about, it takes time to build the structure!!
Here's sample code for an image and live link back to me. Just insert proper info for where the images reside and their jpg name. Alt code is great for Google and other searches, and will bring peeps to your site, cos search engines can't "see" images, only read alt tags. Just use text and commas, but no apostrophes or quote marks, cos they are used for the beginning and end of the alt tag info:
BLOGGER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE PROPER HTML characters.
So when you see [ use upper case comma, which is the open html tag,
and when you see ] use upper case period, which is the close html tag:
[img src="http://flckr.com/123456789.jpg" alt="So and so, Jenny Lens" /]
[a href="http://jennylens.com"]So and so by Jenny Lens[/a]
Put this text on two lines ([img src] and [a href] lines), so the text is under, not next to pix. Now, this will not display correctly for some feed readers, but WTF, that's a whole other lesson. Let's tackle just those in front of their computers, for now.
The first [img src] is where the images are stored and the image filename. The second part [a href]) is the link back to me. People see the image, then read the text "so and so by Jenny Lens" Easy!! Remember, all this helps peeps find your site, which leads them to me. We all win!
So I get furious when they post my pix without my photo credit or without a live link back to me.
I pray that peeps understand my rationale for insisting on at least proper credit and links! But because I have such limited funds and time, I appreciate when others promote my work, cos that keeps this going.
My blog issues are not text nor html. There's html above. We must must use html for linking and formatting such as text size, color, underlines or not, basically, you can't put up a site without it. You won't run into problems with text and html, which is static. Blogs use php, which is the open source programming/coding/ scripts that allow comment preview, links back to comments, showing recent comments, showing top commentors, polls, surveys, anything live that requires the page to update quickly and interact with the web host's server. That takes a huge hit on servers.
Wordpress has all kinds of fab plug-ins, but they will conflict with each other and if nothing else, bring down the site. Of course there's no warnings about this til it happens!
I had to remove some cool features that peeps want, that help peeps navigate and encourage visitors. But until I can pay a whole lotta money (which comes with big paid advertisters), I have to keep it simpler. Lessons learned!
Back to work. See the cool thing about links? We find each other, and help each other, whether coding (and if you know all this, then someone reading it will learn!) and all that jazz.
And you'll keep me laughing about the really scary stuff going down. can you believe they are gonna vote in that jerk for Gonzo's replacement?
"I can't comment about waterboarding": where has he been, under a rock? I gotta go breath, the toxic lies from that statement is making me ill.
