Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I'm hungry now, and you've all swayed me away from healthy and delicious salad to something drizzled in gravy. This is a bad swing for my arteries.

Especially if it's something deep-fried. Maybe you should go for a hot turkey sandwich, open-faced, with gravy and dressing - a little healthier, but not much.

Mmmmm, poutine.

well, now I've just been told that I may have to leave for Wisconsin in four hours. On one hand, a suitcase full of dirty clothes and a 11PM arrival in Wisconsin, OTOH -- CHEESE CURDS.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cheese curds are so good when they're fresh. Also, fresh cheese curds squeak when you eat them.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I just had a very yummy ham, cheddar and apple wrap with a small salad.

I cannot imagine fries with gravy. Sounds nasty. Probably because I am not a big gravy fan.

i've never had them fresh, just fried. And that's okay with me.

I'm at the University of in Madison, so if there are any Buffistas around, I'd love to get together.

Up with the sun

I packed a nice healthy lunch -- wonton soup and an orange.

Then we got pizza leftover from a meeting.

And someone brought chocolate cake by my office not five minutes ago.

I have no willpower.

I am so doomed.

baseball question...

if someone was batting 1000, how would that be noted? 1.000?

Yes! I have seen it that way at the beginning of the season. Also, OPS and other stats that add up to more than 1 are marked to the 3rd decimal place all the time.
