Share something slightly embarrassing about yourself.

I like Martha Stewart, especially since she's become an ex con. She was on one of her food channel things reading a letter from a viewer whose name was Buffy Higgenbothem from Connecticut. I'll never forget that name. Buffy wrote asking Martha if she knew of an "implement" that would open pistachios. Buffy complained that her fingers were sore from opening them and that "my thumbs are absolutely swollen".

Now - before Martha was a convict, she would have said "yes, i like to open my pistachios for my guests and wrap them in foil and paint little faces on them and sometimes my fingers are sore, blah blah" but not the new Martha. New Martha's shoulders kind of slumped and she said (and this is nearly verbatim) "Well..... Buffy. While I don't know of an .... implement... that is designed for opening pistachios, you might try NOT EATING SO MANY. Here's a little Martha Stewart tip. If you're eating pistachios and your thumbs swell up, maybe it's time to cut back. (camera crew laughing in background)

Nothing to do with embarrassment thing, but... .... oh nothing.

And here I thought you were trying to tell us that your "slightly embarrassing" fact was that you like Martha Stewart and ex-cons...

I gots a three haired beard

When people ugly cry my inner response is "Ew".

Frankly I feel Buffy's pain. I have eaten pistachios until I had half-moon bruises under both thumbnails before.

What? They're delicious!

17bees could you verify Martha Stewart said that? I googled a few different ways but all I could find was recipes for pistachio desserts... But I'd really like to find that clip.
