Off we went to visit the single Chicago location (of only 12 nation-wide) of the Himalayas-based Kwik-E-Mart chain. It was all there for the asking: Frosted Krusty-O’s, Buzz Cola, Squishees, pink donuts and “Radioactive Man” comic #711. Where’s the Duff?! Stupid “PG-13” MPAA rating.
As far as movie tie-ins go… I don’t think a better one could have been thought up for The Simpsons Movie. (A big “I am so smart! S-M-R-T!” for including Chicago, 7-Eleven.) And if you aren’t the lucky loser to win the “You Can Get Animated: Be in a Simpsons episode!” contest… see what could have been, at Simpsonize Me. (Hours of fun with company org. chart photos, BTW.)

It’s been a great run, but… all good things come to an end. Tonight’s The Sopranos series finale, “Made In America” (Season 6, Episode 86), closed out a seven year stretch of “Italian Night” at Berklie HQ® on Sundays. Grazie to everyone that’s stopped-by these seasons past, perche chi mangia solo crepa solo.
Closing things out though, we weren’t really sure what to make of “Made In America.” (Tone’ lives? Tone’ dies?) M.L. and I gave the piece a “thumbs up” however, while everyone else seemed to give it a “thumbs down.” We’ll see what the coming days bring. And, no… nothing went wrong with my Comcast feed, T!

It won’t be long until you’ll be able to order take-out through your AppleTV. (You hear me, Pompei and Chinalite? ‘Cause we’re comin’ for ya!) But until then, we can waste time get tons done with the following list of burgeoning AppleTV plug-ins.

For me? Just as funny as that fabled “Whazzup Superfriends” ad from back in the day. For you? Probably not sooo funny. But still… damned good.
Know this, however: totally untrue. Totally untrue. (Player hatin’ PC.)

Now, I like Krispy Kreme Doughnuts as much as the next guy (I’ll even give these new wheat doughnuts a try… time and time again). But, there’s no way I’ll like them as much as the next girl. I mean, really, are they that good?
Take a look at what was actually aired on WAGT-TV (an NBC news affiliate in Augusta, GA) this week; close-up and video after the jump. It could not have been “smiles-time” in that post-production meeting.
