Ramble endlessly and use weird punctuation. Not reallly weird. Just kind of breaking up sentences a lot. See what I mean? Welcome, **Nausicaa**! I’m 5"4. Mr. Lissar is 6"3. My cat is sticking her head into a plastic bag. Maybe she’s tired of life. The stew turned out beautifully- I left out the garlic by accident, but the carrot/beef/thyme/lemon combination was really good. I think I’ll have some for breakfast. ---

I keep trying to “gentrify” (is that a word?) my husband, but…well 18 years of marriage and it still hasn’t worked. Oh, and **Ex** , hubby and I aren’t exactly spring chickens either! I’m not saying the vertical surfaces are an EVERYDAY thing. My gosh, we turn our necks funny and hurt for a week now! ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > You took crabs to Baltimore? That’s a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle, innit? Um, no - if I brought blue crabs, you would have been correct, but these were snow crab legs. You don’t fish for snow crabs in the Chesapeake Bay. ---

I’m not big on the crabs. Or lobster. Or any kind of shellfish, really. I did catch crabs a couple times in my younger years though. No, not that kind silly, I’m talking about the STD. Ok, so that was a joke. I’m hoping that my horrible sense of humor will make **Ex** feel better. I tried to think of a joke about how shelfish sound like selfish, but I couldn’t come up with anything. So, about those crabs. I grew up in Connecticut, and the crabs used to steal the bait off our hooks while we were fishing in Long Island Sound. I can’t beleive I ate so much fish out of the sound and still turned out ok. What’s that? Yes, I really DO think I turned out ok. Hmmph. Some people. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-cheez-whiz-got-ta-do-got-ta-do-with-it/235721.md?page=9)
