Have you had Maltesers? AKA Whoppers, but better?
I've never even heard of them!
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Since I'm not reading Natter regularly, I'm quite sure it was posted here before.
But even if it had have, it's so freaking awesome it's worth repeating.

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

I just had two ginger snap cookies. They were totally healthy and calorie free because I ate an apple first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Amy, I learned of Maltesers from watching Jamie Oliver.
Around here, you can buy bundles of wood at gas stations. And maybe some supermarkets? But maybe NSM in a big city.
Yeah, I could get a small bundle, I'm sure, but then I'd need a Wood Storage Location, assuming I'm having a small fire. That is what I'm looking to avoid with the fake log.

Don'cha hate it when you forget something at work and it ends up costing your company a billion dollars?
Price to PepsiCo for Not Being in Court: $1.26 Billion
What's the cost of not showing up to court? For PepsiCo Inc., it's a $1.26 billion default judgment. A Wisconsin state court socked the company with the monster award in a case alleging that PepsiCo stole the idea to bottle and sell purified water from two Wisconsin men.
Now the company is scrambling to salvage the situation. The damages award was handed down on Sept. 30. PepsiCo filed motions to vacate the order and dismiss the claims on Oct. 13, saying it wasn't even aware of the lawsuit until Oct. 6.
...
In court papers, PepsiCo claims it first received a legal document related to the case from the North Carolina agent on Sept. 15 when a copy of a co-defendant's letter was forwarded to Deputy General Counsel Tom Tamoney in PepsiCo's law department. Tamoney's secretary, Kathy Henry, put the letter aside and didn't tell anyone about it because she was "so busy preparing for a board meeting," PepsiCo said in its Oct. 13 motion to vacate.
Umm... oops?
