I am at home and sick for the third or fourth day in a row, depending on if that first half day counts. I have no cable here at home, in the den of sickness. Daytime television is BAD anyways, but particularly if you don’t have cable. And so I have been reduced to watching some very stupid stuff.

But my main question after these last few days is “What in the world is a Spaghetti Ho?” It was the theme of an episode of Jerry Springer that I just couldn’t bring myself to watch. The main guest seemed to be a large Italian woman with a deeply held belief in the Bible. (Is a Spaghetti Ho a religious, Italian slut?) One woman I asked at work via email suggested a Spaghetti Ho is someone who likes spaghetti in a perverse way. It seems unlikely but still has me laughing.

So, do you have any ideas to its meaning?
