What are you implying? I never plagiarize unless it's absolutely convenient.

Which would be bad enough in and of itself, but then they have to go and deny it!

It's a real bummer havingto work in Paris and get the weekend off. :wub:
Okay, they can tell me "miso butterscotch" until the cows come home, but I say it's toffee and I say the hell with it. This is the goo an eight year-old wants to find in the middle of a candy bar. No adult in their senses wants it creeping up on their pig parts.

Living in New York I have so many choices, it is just so hard to decide where I want to eat and drink. And don't even get me started on the other entertainment options.

We just don't have the time to visit friends and family scattered allover the world in exotic locations. We just don't have the time to visit the famous food writers and glamarous restaurteurs who've invited us for lavish meals.
