Back on the condiment front. FYI, tomatto soup made from ketchup packs and hot water is not only not very good, its pretty much inedible (said by someone who eats pretty much anything without complaint). And, you neither can you make your coffee with Sprite because you are out of sugar and just end up with sweetened coffee that has a mild lemon taste added. This too does not work well. ---

Anyone caught stealing condiments will get a chili reception and a dressing down. ---

A few years ago I was doing some work for the State Department. Pretty cool gig — I got to meet with Secretary Rice several times. It ended a bit abruptly, though. See, she had this candy dish. There was no sign that said “take one at a time” or “for consumption in the office only.” No, they were just sitting there. Maybe I went a bit overboard … maybe I was a bit greedy. But I certainly didn’t _steal_ Condi’s mints. ---

> [@Jeff\_Maple](#): > > Lindsay was clearly advocating illegal acitivity Why are the modes allowing it?. BTW, nonnies, if you’re going to burn a sock on a pack of weak sauce like this, then _at least_ try not to refer to the mods as “modes”. I mean, not to give away state secrets here or anything, but nothing says “I’m a useless fucktard who is only here to troll” like referring to them that way. ---

> [@ToeJam](#): > > Man, your McDonalds gives you condiments for free?? Ours charges us 25 cents extra for anything extra we start to ask for… YES! I ordered some of those chicken strips and some extra BBQ sauce. The @ holes charged me 11 cents each for the extra 4 little packets. ---

I think a lot of kids steal 'em because they’re just too embarrassed to buy them. When I was young, they kept them behind the counter so you actually had to ask the pharmacist for them. ---

[He/she was trolling in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=560931) and then started this thread to troll some more. Since **Jeff Maple** trolled twice, I banned him/her. Like they say, ask not for whom the bell trolls.
