Degrassi Askew
Kevin Smith + Jason Mewes are making an extended appearance on Degrassi!
This is big enough, strange enough news to make it onto my blog already,
especially considering we've seen every episode of Degrassi:TNG since we
got
The-N with our first digital cable package.
What's really mind-bending for me is that this news has made it all the
way up to BoingBoing! I thought
we were the only ones that even knew
about the show!
"It's like When Worlds Collide, y'know? I'm a big fan
of things like
when Spider-Man and Daredevil meet. I go ape-(bleep) and bust a nut,"
said director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), who is finally getting
his chance to take part in the cult series he idolizes [See, we're
not crazy!] by starring in a
three-episode arc on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
In a hilarious and profane press conference here yesterday with past and
present Degrassi cast, creator Linda Schuyler and her creative team,
Smith confirmed that he and pal Jason Mewes (aka "Jay" from Clerks and
Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back) will start filming their parts next week
through mid-November.
The episodes, which will air early next year, have Kevin Smith playing
himself directing the next Jay and Silent Bob movie, "Jay And Silent Bob
Go Canadian, Eh?" In the fictional film, the slacker duo come to Toronto
because they need to get a high school diploma and no school in America
will take them.
Read the
article where Kevin talks about his long standing crush on Caitlin
Ryan dating back to the first Degrassi (Caitlin has become a recurring
character in the Adult cast of TNG)

Honeycup Mustard
Mmmmmmmmm...
Back in college, I went
pseudo-vegetarian/raw-foodist for a year while on Weight Watchers, and
near the end of my college education, I was eating nothing but salads.
This was aided in large part by the amazing spicy honey mustard that
they had up in the "Hawks Nest."
After leaving school, I found that I couldn't put my hands on that
mustard, or anything like it, anywhere.
For most people, this probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal,
but for me, this had been the thing that had made salads edible. Most
other dressings are either nasty tasting or ridiculously bad for you,
defeating the whole purpose of eating a salad in the first place.
Finally this year I stumbled upon that same amazing mustard - at Cosi.
Of course, you can't buy it from them by the gallon or even by the
bottle, so I talked to the manager and got the name of their supplier.
After a few phone calls, I'd tracked down a distributor
and ordered myself a case of Honeycup Spicy Mustard.
It's not healthy to be this excited about a condiment. I bring and buy
baby carrots to work all the time just be a vessel for the stuff, and
I've had to ration it heavily to avoid going through the whole case in a
month.
The only problem is that they only sell it in cases of six jars for $30
or GIANT 9lb buckets for $60. I'm seriously considering getting the
bucket next time.
