It got down to 5 below zero F around here this morning – and 59 would be shorts weather in comparison. I live in Florida, and 59 degrees is about as cold as it’s going to get until about mid-October. Though I was prepared to blackmail Gabbey, I wasn’t prepared to wait 8 months or drive to New England. Do I still get to keep the medal? ---

Sure. You still qualify for doing something the rest of us couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do to further the fight against ignorance. Plus, you linked to this in your sig. ---

> [@Tentacle Monster](#): > > **dutchboy208** , I hereby award you the _Mangeorge Award For Meritorious Duty In The Fighting of Ignorance._\* Named after the poster who fried up a load of semen in a pan, just to answer a question posted on the SDMB, this award goes out to those posters who go above and beyond in the fight against ignorance. Ok - can someone provide a link to this - searching for frying semen and frying sperm give no results. A slight hijack - what happens to the gases we don’t let out? I was going to post a seperate question on this but since we’re already discussing it - what’s the dope? You know wjen you know you shouldn’t fart and you hold it in so you keep your job etc etc - where’s it go? Does it just come out later (and smellier after hanging around your bowels a bit longer) or what …? ---

Yes, just like Twice Baked Potatoes, they’re a tad more flavorful. ---
