In a recession, people stop buying steak. Walmart starts airing commercials featuring a nervous husband, who upon seeing the rare steak as his evening meal, assumes he must have forgotten a birthday or anniversary. Omaha Steaks starts offering deals to my father, who sends me steak and pork tenderloin. Packed amidst the dry ice are sets 10 and 11 of Omaha Steaks "Conversation Cards."
1. If you could clone yourself would you?
2. If someone had food stuck in their teeth would you tell them?
3. Can you name the 7 dwarfs from the movie Snow White?
4. Who was the bigger icon--Johnny Carson or Lawrence Welk?
5. Plastic surgery. . .would you or wouldn't you?
6. What three things would you want to take to a deserted island?
7. What grade did you enjoy the most in school?
8. What would you put in a time capsule?
9. Are you related to any famous people? If so, how?
10. What is the first thing you read in the newspaper?
11. Where were you when JFK was shot? When Apollo 13 landed on the moon?
12. Who is the most famous person you have ever talked to?
13. Tell about the time in your life that you laughed the hardest?
14. What is your favorite decade?
15. What is the best concert you have ever been to?
16. Name your favorite movie of all time. Why?
This proved invaluable to me and the 67 year old lady I met on the street and invited back to my place for steaks. While we seriously disagreed concerning Lawrence Welk, we were both of the same mind as to the Yo la Tengo concert a couple of years back.
Omaha Steaks. Bringing strangers together with every bite. Bridging the generation gap with every T-bone. Fighting recession blues with every question. Thanks, Omaha Steaks.
