-> 
->  -> I dunno about that. I first had his stuff at an Italian heritage
->  -> friend's house, served by his grandmother who was from the "old
->  -> country". That was in 1947 - I think - I was in kiddie-garden at
->  -> the time and I started 1st grade when I was 6 (1948). Anyway, it

->  -> needs salt and garlic. And a bit of basil and oregano couldn't hurt.
->  -> What Mario and I got from Grandma was Beef Ravioli (contains meat).
-> 
->  RH> Better you than me; even as a little kid I couldn't eat that stuff.
-> 
-> Couldn't or wouldn't? It's wholesome, if not especially tasty, grub. 
->  
A mix of the two. Physically possible, but it was such a nasty mushy mess I 
couldn't bring myself to swallow it that I can remember.  Maybe I did when
I 
was five or six, when kids like that sort of thing. By the time I really 
remember food, I couldn't stand it.

->  -> And I don't think grave rolling is permitted in Chardon, Ohio.
-> 
->  RH> How about cow tipping?
-> 
-> Not sure if All Souls Cemetery allows cows - much less the tipping of 
them.
-> Unless you were referring to a bovine-like waitron.

Been done.  It was talked about when I was in college, but I never heard of 
a single cow actually being tipped.  Waitrons on occasion, but not cows.
  
->  ->  SR> Before the water is gone. After that it's time for solid 
catfood.
-> 
->  -> My point exactly. After the aperitif the nagging and wheedling 
starts.
-> 
->  RH> No.  The nagging and wheedling starts well before that!  It starts 
when
->  RH> you're in bed and the furball decides it's time to get up and 
FEEDME,
->  RH> and ends when the cat decides it's bedtime.
-> 
-> I should have said - starts again. Of course the cure for that is put
'em 
out
-> the door and ignore the caterwauling to get back in.

Not to mention the banging on the door.  Far easier to obey the cat's every 
whim.
 
-> I had a co-worker claim that her cat was a picky eater. I told her,
don't 
feed
-> that sucker for four or five days. It'll eat the paste from between the
-> wallpaper and the plaster.

That does tend to work.  It also gets calls from child protective services 
these days.
