Hey Chris,

I just remember in elementary they used to use rice and call it maggots, or spaghetti and call it worms. Cauliflower looks like brains. I don't know if that helps at all.

On another note - does anyone want a kitten? My sister has an adorable little kitten (it is a barn cat, but it is adorable and would make an awesome house cat). It is a long haired cat (not so good for people who don't like cat hair, but rediculously adorable), and it is white with beautiful blue eyes. One of its relatives has the same coloring as it, and it still has blue eyes even as an adult, so we think this one may keep the blue eyes. It is also incredibly friendly. It ran up to my sister the first time it saw her (was also the first time it saw a human, which, believe me, is incredible for a barn cat to do). Also, my 2 year old nephew was playing with it the other day (and two year olds do not play gently with kittens), and the cat didn't do anything. It just kind of went limp until it was rescued, and didn't run away after. This kitten will probably die in the winter if I can't find a home for it (fall kittens usually do, sad as it is), so if anyone wants it, let me know!

HOLY FUCKIN'SHIT

North Korea detonates a nuclear bomb:

The country's official Korean Central News Agency said the test was performed underground and that there had been no radioactive leakage from the site at Hwadaeri near Kilju at 10.36am (0136GMT) on Monday.

The South Korean intelligence services detected a 3.58-magnitude seismic tremor, a foreign ministry spokesman told the Reuters news agency.

Roh Moo-hyun, the South Korean president, has convened a meeting of security advisers over the issue, the South Korean Yonhap news agency reported.

They have the fire going early this year on channel 18. It seems that it's just a thanksgiving holiday thing, but this time it features live action. I've seen them stoke the fire, put on a fresh log and drop fresh water on the turkey to make it look appealing and not dry out. Those of you who like the log at christmas, will love the thanksgiving version.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DUDES AND DUDETTES

ARGH!!!

Well done, Percy. And only 12 hours too late. Not bad. I told you I wouldn't bring it up; that you'd have to do it...

UMBRELLA!!!

Hat Trick post!

Sorry Chris... I've been thinking about halloweeny food since you posted and I'm drawing a blank. For main entrees and sides anyway. Seems deserts are a little easier.
