YAWN! What?


Wake up at the back there Rebest Minor. 50 lines, I must pay more attention!


A very British joke there Chris. I understand exactly the British Public School allusion of the joke, but our American cousins may be somewhat confused.

Useless information for our American colleagues - In Britain "Public School" is actually private - crazy isn't it - but perhaps part of what makes Britain such an interesting place.

Regards to All - keep crunching.

Penmanship, what a nice word.

A la Bart Simpson perhaps?

They beat me for mine. Or was that because I held the pen in the wrong hand?

146,752. Why do hot dogs come in packages of 8, and the buns in packages of 6?


No need to worry about this because even though hot dogs come in packages of 8 and buns in packages of 6... YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE HOTDOGS!!!


Where are you guys from? My hot dog buns always come in packs of 8, they sync up nicely with the hot dogs.

The Mods and I would like to thank you for being so civil.



NO, thank you!

The current crop of Mods differ from one or two former by NOT fanning the flames of frustration.

It makes a big difference when y’all aren’t trying to over-ride every little kvetch, trying to force assimilation (ie..making it escalate), rather than allowing them to naturally fizzle-out.

Golly, I wonder what's happened to "baker's dozen". Just think how many hot dogs they'd sell if buns came in packages of 13!

Maybe, but there’s more wisdom to it than you give yourselves credit for.
