Real turkey

Doing away with the Thanksgiving leftovers wasn’t a problem. Getting Republic Services to take the gallons of used turkey-frying oil? Not so much. —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Want a cookie?

I’m not saying I live in a cookie-cutter house, but this weekend a fire pit was mistakenly delivered to my abode because it, er, looked exactly like the house it was supposed to be delivered to—a block down the road. —Ken Miller, associate editor

But are the beaches nice?

It’s been nice knowing everyone. I’m off to live on the recently discovered Earth-like planet, Kepler-22b. It’s about 2.4 times the radius of Earth, 78 degrees and seems to have no political baggage. —Kristen Peterson, staff writer

Love and hate

Funniest thing I saw at the Walmart parking lot this week: A pickup with a “Walmart Sucks” bumper sticker. —Rick Lax, staff writer

That’s why drive-thrus exist

I’m a fan of Del Taco’s food, but what’s with the music? Nickelback and Vertical Horizon back-to-back—and too loud to ignore. Never thought I’d find myself yearning for played-out Christmas songs with my burrito. —Spencer Patterson, managing editor
