I knew that those hammers and sickles were coming. I just didn't know that Colchar was going to earn 10 of them!

Sam just called me from the grocery store in San Jose. He wanted to know how many strawberries are in a quart. The recipe called for a pound. He took a picture of the strawberry display and emailed it to me while I looked up the answer (1.5 pounds of strawberries in a quart).

Where I come from, saying that Coke sucks earns you that sort of reaction.
But really, I just wish we could get colchar to share a clear opinion every once in a while. ;)

When I was being admitted to the hospital to have Number 2 son Jack, the nurse taking my history asked me about the usuals, smoking, drinking, blah, blah, blah. I said, "Nope, my only vice is Coke." She gave me a look of absolute horror. Turns out she couldn't hear the capital 'C'.
The time is out of joint, O cursed spite!

Bostondevil wonders if wilson has ever read Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace.
Bostondevil suspects wilson would enjoy the book if he has not read it, especially the essay on usage.
Bostondevil occasionally engages in pretentious use of the third person.
Bostondevil is never sure if she has spelled occasionally correctly.

The capt expresses vibes for the restoration of joint heath to the OP.
The capt also enjoys and prefers Coke over Pepsi.
The capt thinks Sam has found an excellent strawberry model.
The capt wonders if BD has ever considered the fine qualities of a good piece of oak.
The capt has a fine appreciation for the pleasures of communicating in third person style.

I think CB&B should get the honor when we do hit it.
I'm betting we hit it today. Especially with Kyrie's return. Whoever gets it, gets it. I'm just happy I could help get us there.

wilson has not read that, but one of his best friends, a fellow Dukie and pretty much the smartest guy he knows, has recently been reading a good bit of Wallace, and wilson's interest has been piqued.
Amid March Madness, wilson is finding that he has precious little patient energy to invest in reading, but as things taper off, he is going to give Wallace a shot.
wilson appreciates the recommendation from BD.

Seconded.
However, I question the very notion of a "sushi burrito." I'm all for fusion cuisine when it's done well, but a line has to be drawn somewhere.

You are indeed the first person to earn the dreaded decuple hammer-and-sickle.
