It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

move out and draw fire

Raq, in NC, barbecue = pork. Allen & Son uses a vinegar based sauce, but Chapel Hill is very near the vinegar-tomato line.

Yep, I know. We kept trying to go for barbeque when we moved to Virginia, but no one served beef. Finally, a friend gave me a whole dissertation on regional types of barbeque. (Of course, what I heard was "blah blah blah no beef here blah blah").

What is even happening?

Heh! You might want to make sure he gets plenty of cupcakes, so he'll think well of you when he's Fullfilled his Destiny.

You know it. I've told them all that either my eulogy or my tombstone inscription should include something along the lines of, "Here lies Mom. She was never cheap with the desserts."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Feh. FEH! I say. You cannot call it a barbecue unless it involves some kind of barbecue SAUCE! Hence the name.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Shame you've left the DC area, Raq. Did you get to Famous Dave's in Oakton before you left? Some may find the Upper Midwest kitsch a bit much (brings back memories for me), but they do various meats (including beef) in various styles (both tomato- and vinegar-base).

I'll tell you what, you tell my grandandy that and we'll all watch what happens.

Nora, did you see my post in Bitches last week about my bro's new menu for Oktoberfest? And how you should go and have wurst and Bavarian-style beer?

I did, and instantly blanked it out, because I cannot afford to go to Vermont again for a while! Why, the cheese costs alone! Wish I could just skip up and back for the day...

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

the way some babies have bald sides

My niece had the bald sides, but because she pulled her hair out in fistfuls, not because that's how her hair grew. My SIL told me about leaving Courtney in her bouncy-seat on the floor while she did dishes, and glancing over to see her laughing in glee and waving her fists around, filled with red hair from above her ears. She did this for a few months before starting to crawl. Of course, now that she's in junior high, her hair is past her butt and approaching her knees, so the hair does grow back!

It *is* possible, you know. Just not optimal.
