Awesome.

I didn’t say I was any SMARTER than I was 7 years ago, did I? 😃

I still think it’s better this way. Honestly, I’m doing it to protect my loved ones’ privacy more than my own. You may have noticed I don’t exactly keep my cards close to the chest.

What’s the differencwe between Hungarian paprika and regular paprika?

I need to know, because I have a recipe for chicken paprikash that calls for Hungarian paprika when all I have is regular paprika.

With a name like Spice weasel, you should know this.

Gummo got all the recognition, as an actor, he deserved. I think you meant [Zeppo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppo_Marx#Legacy).

Zeppo, OTOH, probably will never get a statue in Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the atomic bomb clamp he invented.

Thanks for informing us. I’ve a really hard time remembering anybody’s name here, and changing them sure don’t help.

I guess it’s too late too point out that spice is sometimes used as vernacular for DMT - right? Although you probably don’t want to associate with anyone who would know that . . . umm, you know, as a general rule anyway. :o

Nope. More people know Zeppo, because he was in the early films. Nobody remembers Gummo. Where do you get off saying “he got all the recognition as an actor he deserved?” He was th first Marx brother to take the stage, appeared in all their early stuff, and only left the act when he went into the Army. Groucho thought he was the best person, and liked him better than Zeppo.
