 ML> I can hardly imagine the former, and if I were you I'd give

"I feel your pain."

 ML> I actually had them once, many years ago. They were just

 RH> IOW, nothing special?

Somewhat below nothing special.

 RH> I make an authentic German potato salad, a Penn Dutch potato salad and

Mustard? Egg too?

 ML> For me, handmade mustard has more punch and tastes bsater.
 ML> Wow, did I actually type that?
 RH> Blame it on the new glasses.

I'm blaming a lot on the glasses. It's almost impossible for me
to read these days, and I have to make sense of things the way
a dyslexic would. I think everyone has a touch of dyslexia anyhow,
but this new equipment is certainly accentuating mine.

I was curious about this Lovecraft character Cthulu and went to
the Wiki article, which reads in part

 Considered a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian
 cosmic entities, the creature has since been featured in numerous
 popular culture references.

This is what I saw, more or less, and I had to get very close to
my screen and go very slowly to make sense of anything.

 Considered a cheat old pea within the pantheon of Lovecraftian
 comic entitles, the literature has since been featured in
 humorous popular cultured residences.

 ML>       Title: Maraschino Cherries
 ML> I find them amusing. Not very nutritive, of course.
 RH> Not good for anything, including our compost barrels.
 ML> Pretty amazing things they are, as well as amusing.
 RH> Amazing in that they continue to be popular in some circles, amusing
 
I am a sucker for almond flavoring (which most red
maraschino cherries have) and will eat these with
no displeasure, even though as a child I thought they
were disgusting (glace cherries, too).

 RH> in that some people like to try to tie a knot in the stem with their
 RH> tongue.

Various people on the echo were able to do so - I
succeeded on the rare occasion, though in order to
fold the stem in properly I had to use my teeth.
I had to find specially long-stemmed cherries to
accomplish the trick.
