Note to others. Although I might agree with Hap's
order of preference, I must add that there is no
similarity in aroma between Johnny Walker rubber tire
red lable and acetone nail polish.

Sad fact: spruce tips are being used by some avant-garde
cooks as a flavoring agent.

I was going to say, if you're berry lucky, bear tastes
better.

 HN> Did we ever get you to the

Nope, another sad fact.

 HN> I WANT to taste kangaroo!!

I've seen it available in my grocery's frozen section
on occasion.

Maybe turn him into a long reliever?

The Sox are still tied at the top, no thanks to you.
How on earth could you do this?

We've got not only the beginning of the Little League World
Series this week (no beer) but the Williamsport Crosscutters
- alumni include Jose Bautista and Booger Morgan - are hosting
the (Class A) NY-PA League defending champs Tri-City Valley
Cats, with half-price beer on Thursday and Friday, when it's
supposed to rain. It's a close race in the Pinckney Division,
with the Crosscutters tied for second with the Mahoning Valley
Scrappers behind the Auburn Doubledays (get it?).

I was playing hooky from Annie and Billy last week (Billy's
looking pretty good), otherwise I could have seen the Batavia
Muckdogs - a great team name.
