Wow! Amazing life to this thread. And a variety of people as well. Yup, this is when I LOVE Mudcat (and it isn't even about music), good writing, interesting thoughts, bits of irony, and a minimum of silly "tit for tat".

Thanks Kendall, glad ya noticed.

I don't want to get in trouble here 'cause if I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO live in a country, I'd pick Canada (with the States 2nd...oh..Scotland first, if I had a castle and didn't have to earn a living) but,...but... I LOVE AMERICAN FOOD!!

It truly puts Canadian cuisine (especially in restaurants) to shame. Even the chain restaurants (and no, I don't mean MacDonald's) are wonderful. If I lived in the South, I'd weigh 400 pounds.

Believe me, I'd put up with Falwell, Robertson, Rush, "Dubya" and "Bubba" just to have those "Bob's Big Boy" restaurant breakfast buffets.
