**Bad News** , how’s **Celtic Cowboy** going to have a pair of extra pants ready on April 4, 2002? Does your Oracle have a time-machine feature too? Oh, put me in Round 2 too. **alice\_in\_wonderland** : Grape. Grape Crush. How soon we forget the drinks of our youth. ---

Ohh, Bad News… Tonight I think I’ll drive over to Chico’s…with four in-town locations the sole inconvenience is choosing which one of the close (for me) locations to head to. How many Chico’s do have have over in…oh I forgot - its only in El Paso. Hmmm First, I’ll have the single of tacos. Crisp, yet with the right amount of tepid tomato sauce…it becomes mouth-meltable. The mountainous heap of sun-yellow cheese makes it beyond meltable…(sigh)… Now, sould I ask for one cuplette of chile verde or two? Ahh, it’s Sunday- I’ll ask Victor for three! Gracias carnal! Next the Hot Dog. Tender hot pink frankfurter in an amply toasted hamburger bun…topped with chilli con carne and just the right amount of cebolla…hmmmmm Oh and with the coke, not even 4 whole bucks. Quiet now…someone put Selena’s Astrodome Medley on the jukebox…show some respect! Now what does your omniscient oracle think of that \*\* Bad News Baboon \*\*? ---

_Originally posted by **featherlou** (in another thread)_ > [@](#): > > When my sister from Saskatchewan (as am I, but that’s not important right now) was dating a guy from New England in Los Angeles, his family thought it was “quaint” that she was Canadian. Thank you, Francesca, for nailing in your OP why this was so irritating to us. Being Canadian is quaint? It’s our freakin’ nationality, you pompous, overbred, undermannered tightass. It’s not “quaint”. pompous, overbred, undermannered tightass!? I _am_ in love! And defending Canadians? Rowr. And a fellow former Saskatchewanite, to boot? Sigh. This is the beginning of a long romance. Now, **Bad News Baboon** - is there any chance of getting a crush-er as well, in the next round? Cause that would make my SDMB life complete. Especially if it was a guy this time (not that I’m not having fun at the all-girl orgy!) ---

Hmm… I guess I’ll have to actually drive the **Lightnin’mobile** on 5/17, eh? I’ve taken to riding the bike to work, but I’ll make the exception on that Friday. Lessee… according to **Iconoplast’s** profile, she’s in Colorado. Yippee! I love Colorado. According to her webpage, she’s still trying to quit smoking. Hmm… I detest smoking.
