What's the deal with Pokerstars.net? I'm trying to work out where they make their money.
Huh, weird. When I played online free poker, the site had a real-money sister site, but that one doesn't seem to. Mysterious!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Soft serve and custard both come out of machines, but are entirely different animals.
Need to get my hands on some custard soon. Possibly in float form. Yum.

Erin is me.
Me too, sort of (not rural)! When I got old enough, dad and I'd ride our bikes over. And then it closed, and so we went to Sonic. I had a baby A&W mug forever. We tried to find every A&W between here and the midwest. For the longest time, there was only Aztec, NM and near Champlaigne, Ill. (Champagne? it was a long time ago.) Bygod, we'd stop there no matter the time of day.
There's now an A&W/Long John Silver place near me and I get a burger there just about every friday. I love their cheeseburgers. Always with generous slices of onion and their "secret" sauce (I'm pretty sure it is thousand island dressing or just ketsup and mayo.) I'd get a float, but it would probably make me ill, and I don't want to taint those memories. I loved the creamy iced rootbeer that'd form on the ice cream. God.
(there's also a A&W/KFC across from a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts not a couple miles further. Cracks me up.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I are finally catching up on Slings & Arrows S3 (we watched the first 2 eps before Dylan was born...and then Dylan was born...), and realized for the first time that Jeffery's nemesis is played by the same actor who played Marco in The 4400. Knowing this has suddenly become very distracting, because instead of seeing a character, I'm seeing Marco with a silly affected accent.

I am not a soda drinker, but a root beer float is an essential part of summer. But I'm very picky - must have good root beer in a can and cheap vanilla ice cream.
Though, I did have a blended root beer float drink at Warped and that seems to have satisfied my "it is hot and I need a root beer float" cravings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My dad would take us all to the A&W after Wednesday night or Saturday night church. It was sorta' a thing. In 4th grade I had these white pants with rectangular patterns sewed all over them with red and white thread. One night after church I spilled part of a float on them. Later my teacher asked me about the stain, and I told her about the float. It was hardly embarrassing at all. But those were some weird pants.
Anyway, that's my biggest A&W memory.

In addition to the regular sized float, when we brought in my baby mug, they'd make a mini one in it.
I'd totally forgotten that.

I think I had one of those baby mugs. I wonder where that ended up?
After a yummy brunch (with cake) at Kat's this morning, Polgara and I went to visit Gracie. G was cranktastic when we got there, but with judicious application of dips and lifts, she giggled her pants off.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
must have good root beer in a can
Why would you prefer it in a can? Glass wins!

Sure, if you can find glass bottled root beer, that is the best. I just hate using a two liter bottle. The taste is off.
