I could swear there was a thread earlier today where someone posted a link to some pictures from a trivia contest and wanted help identifying the sources, but I can’t find it now. Was it deleted, or am I just overlooking it?

Depends entirely on the kind of nuts he was going. If walnuts, then temporary. If pistachio, keep an eye out for the nearest bell tower and be sure to duck a lot.

I knew some guys who went in search of that Lost Chord. They wouldn’t do well around here, though, because they never could come down straight on an issue. Kinda see-sawed around a bit, you know?

Sorry if you don’t get the joke; it’s a bit obscure. Don’t get all worked up, though, just breathe. Ommmmmmm …
