Sweet merciful crap this might be the best Ray's Place ever. Ever!

The constantly extending salmon recipe reminded me of Monty Python for some reason that I'm sure will dawn on me in a week or so.

I can only hope whoever asked Ray about tofu intend to me mocked because that's just asking for it. Remember "Vegetables Delight"?

Then there's the vodka.

Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life'.

Death comes to the dinner party:

It waaaaaas the Sallllllllmon Mooooooousssssse.

...it’s kind of like having a diamond stud through the side of your glans: you know it’s there, and that it’s awesome.

LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT RAY HAS COME OUT FIRMLY ON THE SIDE OF COCK PIERCINGS.

My favorite detail of this Ray's Place is definitely the switch for the rim spinners, bored to reduce weight.  

On his SUV.

Probably the Spanish Inquisition sketch.
"Our greatest weapon is fear and terror! ..our two! Two greatest weapons are fear, terror, and the element of surprise! ..no, our THREE greatest weapons are fear, terror, surprise, and a near-maniacal devotion to the Pope! . . . AMONGST OUR WEAPONS are..."

That was not actually the correct script of the sketch but it illustrates the basic structure of the passage of which I suspect you were reminded by the salmon recipe.

That sounds about right. Although I think they used that same basic formula multiple times.

I just wanted to say I really want a bottle of that vodka Ray was talking about.  

On the other hand, I'd probably die of alcohol poisoning right quick if I got my hands on a bottle of that stuff.

You can achieve a similar flavor by making a Bloody Mary with Clamato juice.

Supercock101, I almost deleted you last night because I thought you were a signup bot.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM, NON-DOUCHEBAG HUMAN

There is something terrible about the idea of a Clamato Bloody Mary. Then again, that may be my totally morbid (but nonetheless, in my mind, rational) fear of Clamato.

I will just say that I miss the days when Ray gave advice about something other than food and pets. He used to be real, dogg. I understand that it's boring and repetitive to answer three billion e-mails about whether you should ask some guy out, but I liked it when there was more substance to the advice column, you know?

[Turbo Ninja]

I'm a real human boy, and I'm proud that my first post up in this was about Clamato.

[jough]

Your new name is "Clamato."

WELCOME, CLAMATO!

HAVE YOU MET BOZACK?

[AugustWest]

I love Clamato.  Man, that's some tasty stuff.

The thing is I think Onstad thought answering "real" questions was an obligation that he had to spend a lot of time on: the earliest Ray's Place columns seemed to go on forever (to the point where I didn't finish reading most of them). Eventually he got fed up and quit. Later he returned with shorter columns dealing with more trivial problems. These tend to be more enjoyable to read (for me), because it feels like he's actually enjoying writing them more.

Well, to each his/her own, I suppose. I personally preferred my Ray's Place with something more resembling substance, especially because Ray/'stad can give pretty good advice when the effort's there, but if it's just not worth it for him to try, that's the way it is.
