No, We're Not Trying To Impress The Waiter
Kevin Alexander and Matt Lynch offer a list of the 44 worst people encountered in restaurants. One complaint is about the person who "over-pronounces" names of ethnic items: Do you really think that by calling prosciutto “pra-shoot” that the Italian waiter will go back to the kitchen and regale the chefs with praise-filled stories of the man at table 16? That isn't exactly how we say prosciutto in my family, but I believe that's their attempt at the phonetic spelling... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

10 Second Film Review
I was delighted to discover the critically acclaimed 1994 documentary, Crumb, offered for free in Youtube Movies. Crumb explores the life of controversial, underground cartoonist, Robert Crumb. This is a must-see for clinicians and a fascinating film for anyone else interested in the border area between eccentric genius and madness. 9.5/10 (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

I'm Getting Old
That's the only reason I can imagine for people having been so much more polite and deferential toward me over the last year or so. Especially teenagers. I guess I'm no longer a competitive threat. (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Vintage My Life
Well, not my life exactly, but while looking through a New York historic image site, I found this photo taken at the Catholic school I attended, though this is 1959, before my tenure commenced. Come to think of it, my youngest aunt would have been an 8th grade student at the school when this photo was taken. The girls are wearing habits identical to those worn by the nuns at our school before they streamlined the outfit some time post... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Christmas Tweet
Think you could cynically call this art installation in Santa Monica "The Spirit of Christmas"? pic.twitter.com/1icVn36zcp— Kelly McGonigal (@kellymcgonigal) December 5, 2013 (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Masters of Sex: Another Take
My summary and review. Nancy Nall's take: “Masters of Sex,” which started strong, has stagnated into the same half-dozen or so themes over and over — Sex is science, sex is emotion, sex follows a script, sex never follows a script, blah blah blah. Will Dr. Masters overcome his emotional repression? Will Virginia Johnson get the respect she craves? We interrupt this repetition to display Lizzy Caplan’s naked breasts again. We interrupt those breasts to show you the saucy blonde... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Late To The Party: Alec Baldwin And Taboo Utterances During Meltdowns
I'm familiar with some of Alec Baldwin's cruel outbursts and some of his dopey public statements, but I don't know the man and don't really care about him. So, to be clear, I'm not posting to defend Alec Baldwin, nor do I claim to know whether or not he's a bigot. In this post, he's just a device for discussion. At my most clearheaded, I would hesitate to make sweeping judgments about a person based on what they might say... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

The Speeding Sweet Spot
Joe Mahr: Speeding has become rampant on the Illinois tollways around Chicago, a fact well established by the Tollway in several studies obtained by the Tribune. The data, like that collected on the Everett Road overpass in April, showed that along seven tollway stretches with 55 mph limits, most drivers are pushing the speedometer above 66 mph. Only a few are obeying the law. In those stretches, an average of 1 out of 20 motorists drives at or below that... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)
