Best. Columnist. Ever.
Come Heller High Water I is the collection readers asked for, and includes columns that they wanted reprints of.
In true Heller style, topics cover everything from the craziness of having kids to tales from his U.P. days.
Come Heller High Water II is the smash hit follow-up to Come Heller High Water I. It includes everything from Andy's takes on modern life to conversations with his back home pal Moon Dimple, and much, much more.
Saving the World One Column at a Time is a bitingly funny look at the world through the eyes of this award-winning columnist. In it he takes on corporate crooks, Little League parents, tongue piercers, ketchup sinners and much, much more. A must-have for Heller fans.
Tines up. This isn’t England!!!
I was taught it was bad manners to use tines down (German ancestors)…now as an adult I see folks from other ethnicities using tines down.
Tines up you barbarians!
My father was English and tines down with whatever food was on the plate pushed with his knife onto the fork. A delightful mix of flavored and textures.
Tines down keeps you from using it like a shovel which is a good thing for some people I have seen out and about… (No, not you Andrew Heller…)
Tines down,,class. Tines up, most Americans. Just sayin.
Tines down are for twirling pasta only!
Tines up .
As long as you don’t use your fork to reach for something on my plate–I don’t care.
As my Aunt Jean (the uncrowned queen of proper etiquette in my family…may she rest in peace) would say, “The fork must be held like a writing instrument – tines up when inserting it into your mouth. And don’t forget when using a fork to hold down something that is being cut with a knife, one’s fork must be transferred to the opposite hand when one is cutting with the knife. Then the fork must be transferred back to the original hand and the knife placed back on the edge of the plate before eating, tines up, what has been cut.” My grandfather would say, “Egads!”.He was a tines-down Englishman who ate everything with a knife and fork in each hand and most things were smooshed on the back of his fork. I say, “Whatever works!”.
