When I was little, I despised when my mother would purchase the ersatz store brand cereal, instead of the good stuff.

I don't consider the current ersatz Warcraft to be as fun as the prior game, Warcraft 2.

I am always amazed at the salaries ersatz heroes, like baseball players or Xouqoa, command.

You're just begging for a good defenestration, aren't you?

I can't prove it, but I think Jennifer Love Hewitt has ersatz boobs.

Even if they are fake, which I don't think they are, I'm going to have to call you on your use of the word 'ersatz'...

I've never been a breast man, but there's not a thing inferior about J-Love's breasts.

My understanding is that the following quotes come from two interviews she did. One was from Mademoiselle, and the other from Playboy respectively. Apparently during the Mademoiselle interview she told the writer to go ahead and touch her breasts so she could report they were real. No word on if that happened or not, but if she still needs someone to do it, I'd be happy to help.

I bought this T-shirt that says 'Silicone Free' and whenever I wear it, people are like ... [she mimes a jaw-dropping gape]... I have great bras - that's the secret. I don't know why it's such a big issue. All over the world, boobs are big talk!' Jennifer Love Hewitt Internet Movie Database 2.6.01
~ ~ ~

Jennifer Love Hewitt recalls, "When I first got my boobs, I was so insecure. I was 11 years old, with this chest, and it was like, 'Whoa, what is going on?' "Then I finally went, 'Wow, what a great accessory to a t-shirt! My t-shirts have never looked so good, how exciting.' You just have to embrace them."

Edit: Typing > Me.

Agreed, sans Sam of course.

The grocery store carries a sad, ersatz brand of butterscotch flavored instant pudding. If they do not remedy this soon, I shall have to perform a hostile take over.

Yuengling is a good american beer.

Heineken is ersatz beer!

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » June 24, 2003, 11:47 am

I will have to back Zamtuk here and agree that the Pennsylvania brewed, Yuengling Lager, is the very definition of anti-ersatz brewing.

Ernie, my erstwhile erudite ermine, often erupted with erumpent errant eructations after eating ersatz ermine chow.

If Legenae was pinned between a gas truck and the wall of a building containing tons of nitroglycerine and only had time to taste her own blood before the explosion sent pieces of her worthless ass in all directions, no one would care because she's just an ersatz Kooky.

EDIT: never mind, that was "Erny", what an ersatz attempt at a joke on my part.

But that wouldn't match the Risky Business quote I was using!

The biggest ersatz product my mom and I argued with growing up was Mac-n-Cheese. There is only 1.
