Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

And she also managed to chew an olive up and eject the entire thing out her nose, though that was more of a freakish accident.

My sister made me laugh so hard that I spit a carrot out my nose. So fucking painful.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Julie, I generally make wide circles around the M&M memorial in Vegas (it's on the South Strip, IIRC). I don't make eye contact. It scares me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have a hard time arguing against any chocolate.

Have you tried Whitman's?

Clearly you're in the "I wouldn't have stepped inside" camp. The boy will be glad to hear he has company. And those of us riding the one way escalators to M&M glory will be too busy to notice your absence ;)

From memory its location was definitely on the strip, and sort of opposite the Bellagio. just down from the MGM Grand (according to mapquest- although we walked from the Grand and I don't recall it being immediately next door.)

Is USian Whitman's the same as Un-Am Whitman's? Because the stuff we got in Australia was borderline edible.

Well, the building scared me....

The stuff we got in Australia is my basis for this. Given it's now pulled out of the Australian market, I believe history has vindicated me.

Julie, I'd hazard a guess that ...

was exactly the sort of sentiment that BT was driving at.

In memememe news, I've now replaced my modem, processor, cd rom, and hard drive. Unfortunately my browser seems to have a hernia opening more than one window at a time and something is chewing up some amazing amounts of resources because the system keeps locking up every time I try to do more than one thing, so I'm still a bit intermittant here but persevering. Keep those extremities at the ready for crossing if I need it.

It's the story of grandfather's axe, isn't it? Five new heads and three new hands and good as new :)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That's a whole lot of crossing. Don't use it all up immediately!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

God, the Smartie argument confuses me. Our Smarties are little round chalky things that come in rolls. Like Pez, but sour, sort of.

No joke, Holli! The can be purchased in a roll, but I only ever had them two at a time at Halloween.

And I just went and got an apple out of the fridge-mmmm.

I think I've discovered the variety of apple that Eve ate (and probably Snow White too). They're called Spartans. Quite small, perfectly shaped, deep crimson skin, crunchy, impossibly white flesh, just sweet enough, they're fantastic. I've only ever seen them at one organic stall at the Vic Market though, so good luck finding them.
