[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] I don’t know about _real_ Greek food, but I certainly love what passes for it here in the States. A real Hellenophile is welcome to drop by and tell me if gyros, souvlaki, etc. are authentic.. [/QUOTE] They’re authentic. Tell me if you like spanakopita because that’s my favorite dish. ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] The next Doper owns no Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems stock. [/QUOTE] True. Indeed, I own no shares of any company. TND (again assuming USA residence) has cast a ballot in the past for at least one of the current presidential candidates.

I know the Yoyodyne reference. Am I too late? [quote] TND lives in the state or province he/she was born in. [quote] False. TND uses a toothpaste that is not primarily white in color. ---

Almost true. My car is actually a dark red '97 Saturn SL1. As to Yoyodyne… it was invented by Thomas Pynchon for his novels _V._ and _The Crying of Lot 49_, but is probably best known today as the aerospace firm that provides a front for the evil Red Lectroids in the movie _Buckaroo Banzai_ (a favorite of mine). The next Doper hates Dixieland Jazz.
