Ari, thanks for the history lesson, and, yes, I do see the Old World to New World transition, but, fuck, if the Bruins or Blackhawks, or even the fucking Caps couldn't kick any curling team's asses.

 

As to Garfunkel and Oates, sure, I'd do them (wouldn't any of us?), and, yes, sports are way over done in the good old U.S. of A.  

 

Wait, what was I saying?  Suddenly I want Sushi.  I must have Sushi.  Someone bring me some fucking Sushi.

My favorite ever home-warming present (to my brother and sister-in-law when they bought a new condo and told us not to bring anything) was a can of spam and a can of silly string.  It set a nice tone for a very fun weekend.

 

And Stretch:  that's just a bit creepy.....

Margaret Hamilton is a computer scientist and mathematician. She was the lead software engineer for Project Apollo. Her work prevented an abort of the Apollo 11 moon landing. She’s also credited for coining the term “software engineer.”   Those stacks are the code she wrote for Apollo 11.

Shit like that just annoys the hell out of me.  

 

First time I ever signed an online petition.....  We don't do a lot of candy anyway, but certainly won't buy Hershey's brand anymore if we can help it.

It's not like you can't get good chocolate here.  Like everything else, the national brand that sells cheap isn't going to be the good stuff.

Yup....  We'll be giving our local specialty store more business.  Have to figure out Halloween though.....

 

My wife spent a semester in England though, acquired quite the taste; and just knowing there won't be British Kit Kat's is setting her off like she has the DT's..... :laugh:
