She knows you won't have much time left after eating those you're having for yourself.

You had me at raspberry.

Sideways was a great flick. Being a recovered cafe racer I enjoyed the scene where Sandra Oh beats Thomas Haden Church soundly about the head and shoulders with her helmet.

WE have been going there for years before that movie came out. for a while we were worried that the place would be over run.

When I was growing up, the spelling was almost universally d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t. Later, I noticed a lot of places were shortening it to d-o-n-u-t. So I looked it up recently, when did the shorter spelling come out, and got a very interesting history of the donut. Amazing how universal it is. Really long article on Wikipedia, but worth the read.

I know it has been a while since I have been here. Disney mom has been by the cart to see if I am alive. The park was filled with SG and beyond. A few weeks ago
a tour group came over. This one SG, asked if we had steak on our cart. No steak. He pointed at the leg and said I want a steak. I told him wee had no steaks. My lead even unwrapped
the leg to show him, the turkey leg is turkey. Then the SG asks, what is a turkey? I said "It's a 4 to 5 ft bird with white to gray feathers and people eat them." And I told him, steak comes from a cow.
So, we told him about Steak house 33 and then he wanted some bake potatoes and sour cream. :cool:

There is obviously never a lack of SGs and the depth of their stupidity runs deeper than the Mariana Trench.
