**M** mmm…for lunch I am having a ‘chief’ salad. I’m not sure if the guy in the cafeteria can’t spell, or if he’s just a Kansas City football fan. ---

**Q** uakers don’t do Lent, so I had what I have every day – a peanut butter sandwich. ---

**R** ather certain that the salad was misspelled (in my humble professional opinion). Thanks so much hon for the kind words - you’re right I would never do such a thing. If I were making an Eagles salad (whatever that is), it would never be confused with a chef salad. ---

**W** ell I’d say that based on recent postings, I’d say it’s clear that this thread has much yet to offer. Maybe the first 100 pages were just preamble… I’ve always preferred the natural look sweets, no need for makeup or nail polish with this Quake. ---

**D** oes it get any better than this? This almost never happens - I went out to pick up a sandwich around noontime today to bring back to the office for lunch (even the chef-meister of the universe has to go for takeout sometimes), and while out, I took a quick spin into Tower Records and filled out a little slip for a drawing, and amazingly I just got an email saying that I’ve won tickets for a concert by the Chieftains and Allison Moorer. With St. Patrick’s Day impending, the timing couldn’t be better. I do enjoy the Chieftains music, plus I’ve always kind of liked Allison Moorer better than her more well known sister (Shelby Lynne). Not to mention the nice flirtations now coming my way - girl I like the way you think. ---

**E** xcellent news, **Watcher**! Where’s the concert – the TLA? Tower Theater? (Should we make some joke here about the luck of the Irish?) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a/150850.md?page=253) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a/150850.md?page=255)
