Yeah. I recently picked up that habit. NFC how or why that started. It’s a phenomenon that developed within the past year.

And yeah, I’m a UNIX geek.

Lastly, I’m always amused when someone corrects typo’s with a grammatically incorrect sentence… :)

Zach – There was recently an uproar where it was discovered that some Doner Kebab’s actually contained some pork:

The amazing part of that story is not that someone didn’t know what falafel was, but that someone apparently bought a copy of the New York Times.

Zach, isn’t bologna that member of the bovine family that originally roamed the South Americam pampas and later was imported to the American midwest and is also being raised on European farmlands now?

Halal is code for free range, non-gmo, but not organic.

There’s this homeless guy who keeps a cat on a leash that I see around the central park area.

Flatrock – I think it’s less of a mix and more of a preformed cone of meat that they get from kronos.
