For me, Dilbert is the very image of everything I loathe about the corporate world. Don’t get me wrong, I think Scott Adams is a genius who did the right thing at the right time, and a master at making ourselves laugh at our own daily miseries.

But when you realize how real all of that is - white-collar backstabbing, cubicle culture, sickening sycophantery and all other “gems” of the corporate world, it makes the fact of laughing at yourself through Dilbert all the more… how could I say it, dimensional?

In high school, I used to think Dilbert was a waste of space as I mourned the loss of Calvin and Hobbes.

Ten years later, I feel despair and some sort of cathartic justification when Dilbert too closely resembles my life. AND I still miss Calvin and Hobbes.

Matt, is the Bloomin’ Onion anything like Chili’s Awesome Blossom?

I’m trying to imagine what it’d be like, as a cook, to not like onions ……

Nope, can’t do it. Onions are a cook’s best friend. Flavor, texture, sweetness, crunch, caramelization. There aren’t many dishes that don’t call for onions, or something from the lily family.

Now head to Outback Steakhouse and have a Bloomin’ Onion. ;)
