Dining Out - Pleasurable or Painful?
CellarDweller:
Kerry, one time I walked into a cafeteria, and grabbed a small bottle of diet coke, and was waiting on line to order a sandwich. I happened to glance to the left, and saw a roach crawling on the countertop.
I just paid for my soda, and left.

Did they ever air the Green Acres series in Australia, Kerry? They were always talking about rutabagas on that show. I think Oliver and Lisa were obsessed with them. :-\

I do remember Green Acres, David. I can even hear the theme tune in my head. Can't remember any of the dialogue, though, so don't remember them mentioning rutagagas. Gosh, that was a long time ago. That show was in black & white!
How is rutabaga pronounced? Is it root-uh-bay-guh ("root" as in "shoot") or rut-uh-bay-guh ("rut" as in "cut")?

Very wise, Chuck. I'd've done the same. :P

It's the former, Kerry.
Hey, I remember Green Acres being in color? Kerry, was your set black and white? ;)

The first one Kerry. ROOT-uh-bay-guh. At least that's how we say it around here.
