Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

figs stuffed with chorizo and wrapped in bacon, then broiled. SO bad for you, but very, very tasty.

Um, I think my heart just exploded from reading your post.

Yeah, but that's like using Splenda along with a pound of real butter to bake something.

All is well that ends in pizza.

A diabetic could eat something with Spenda and butter.

It used to be common for comedians to whine about people buying pizza and a diet soft drink. I figure why change to sugar because you are eating something with more calories. The joke never made real sense.

I know. I always heard it with something like "triple bacon cheeseburger with extra large fries", which ain't exactly health food, but when I found out that a regular 12 oz. non-diet soda has about the same calories as the equivalent amount of beer, I figured it was a good time to switch to diet soda. The taste difference between diet soda and non is nowhere near as great as the taste you lose switching to the average light beer (and non-alchoholic beer is just foul).

see, this would make me switch to beer generally.
