 NB>>> Might you try it again, if assured that it was indeed in proper
 NB>>> condition another time...?  :)
 ML>> If it smelled better than this unfortunate animal, sure.
 NB>> Maybe you'll actually like it then... ;)
 ML> Jim reports that it is a very strong flavor, but, yes, maybe.

As long as it doesn't taste bluecheesy... ;)
 
 ML>>> I will (someday) go to Popeye's and see what the fuss is about.
 NB>>> As long as it's still available by the time you get there... ;)
 ML>> And if it's not, then it must have been a "who cares"
 ML>> phenomenon after all.
 NB>> A just for the publicity stunt...  :)
 ML> Apparently. Get them in there, and if it doesn't work, au
 ML> revoir to that product. Apparently the habanero wings didn't
 ML> do the job, at least in Dale's area.

I'm not very ad conscious (put that, I avoid most chances to see or hear
ads [g]), so I don't know if they were advertised even in our area... It
didn't seem to be flouted on the building signs last time I stopped by
Popeyes for a spicy thigh and biscuit...

 NB>> Ah.  The modernization affected that, too... Is the Welsh rabbit
 NB>> worth your pills...?  :)
 ML> If I make it. You file up to the Marsh room (endowed by
 ML> Mrs. Marsh from Jordan Marsh), and the stewards have
 ML> put out on each table shredded cheese, beer, an egg,
 ML> mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. The head of each
 ML> table cooks. For my first ten or fifteen years as a
 ML> member, I was one of the designated cooks. Then I quit
 ML> going; but when I came back, my usual seat was there.

They remembered how well you did it... :)

 ML> Most of the older members have learned how to do it
 ML> acceptably, but once in a rare while there is a
 ML> disaster, in which case that table has to subsist on
 ML> leftovers from the other tables. 

Were there likely to be sufficient leftovers to cover...?

 ML> In recent years, especially with more female participation,
 ML> there have been more dessert receptions instead, and
 ML> sometimes such oddities as cassoulet, bourguignonne, and
 ML> such, depending on the theme of the concerts attached to
 ML> the evenings.

More diversity... ;)

 NB>> Were the original members Harvard musicians, or just Bostonians
 NB>> interested in adding music to the curriculum at Harvard...?  :)
 ML> The former. Nobody else until Sen. McCarthy has arrogated
 ML> to suggest what should be taught at the school.

Ah.
 
 NB>> Burton was asking after you, when we met for lunch at Fu's...
 ML> Glad that he, and presumably Shirley, are doing okay.

They do both seem to be doing fine.  Burt was talking about getting back
onto the bbs and into the echo... but so far I haven't even seen him
back on Docs.  He got the new(ish) address from me, and detailed step by
steps for accomplishing it, but I suppose other things are taking up his
time and energies...  We did, however, have a lovely time together,
celebrating the Lunar New Year at Fu's...  We'll probably be doing more
of that... maybe waiting until the weather is less volatile...  :)

 ML> I saw him on Facebook recently during one of my bored
 ML> usually weekly (this week more frequent) trips there.

I suppose that might be one of the things that's distracting him from
Fido.. ;)

ttyl      neb

... Reality crept in. I nailed it for trespassing.
