"Theory Goggles."

I know that this is obvious, but a friend sent me an article on "The Death of Theory" recently, and I've decided that theory is much like beer. You can have "beer goggles" that make unattractive people attractive, and you can have "theory goggles" that make bad books seem interesting. An example: "Sandra Bernhard is pretty attractive." = "This Stephen King novel is really interesting."

I have currently before me a Bigelow "Eggnogg'n" Tea Bag. It is, the package describes, "An 'Eggceptional' Winter Tea." The ingredients to this tea are black and green tea, natural eggnog flavor with other natural flavors, cinnamon. I'm assuming this means it has eggnog powder in it. This does not sound appealing. As T. was giving me this at a party this weekend, he said, "No, really, it's not that bad." Then, the other T. said, "You should try it and then write a blog about it." Well, I am writing a post about it, but I don't think I'm drinking it. I don't drink regular eggnog, so the powdered variety doesn't seem much better.

Have you seen the Miller Lite ad with Flavor Flav? He is a "taste expert" because he is Flavor Flav. There is also another ad with Gene Simmons. What? Gene Simmons, who brags he has never drank once in his life?
