I was just thinking about police procedural scenario (CSI-style)
wherein
the victim was killed by being fed Girl Scout cookies until the
transfats killed him. A tricky job for the medical examiner.

The rest of us liked them a lot but as I recall they were
unimpressed.
This was 20+ years ago but from what I remember the girls
weren't interested
in ANYTHING other than going to the malls to shop for
clothes or the prospect
of a rock concert. This was the third or fourth year my
neighbor at the beach
had hosted kids (for Rotary International, maybe?) and these
two were the only
duds I can remember.

Do it while the coast is clear. <g>

To date, I've managed to avoid the corn on the cob that is in the 'frige
for dad. He bought it, I didn't! While I do a certain amount of
shopping and cooking for him, I try to avoid temptation in the house!

Presumably it's that problem Outlook Express has in quoting things from
Google Groups. The add-on app OE Quotefix is supposed to take care of
that. If not, then quotes should be unambiguously marked in some way.
Or just get a non-broken newsreader.
