Most fascinating. The dead possum entryway swag is avant-garde in an interesting sort of way, but it might be better with a coat or 12 of shellac.

It's a little know fact that one can have excellent conversations with cheese. I've unburdened myself to a block of cheddar before. I must say that cheese listens to you like no other dairy product. However, you have to be careful to get a cheese that can understand you. Parmesan, for instance, is a fine condiment and a lovely appetizer with some sliced fennel, but unless you're fluent in Italian, it won't do much for you as a confidant.

I dunno, TH. I've found that 'shrooms work for me. They mind their own business, the stench keeps the unwanted away and then we can eat the evidence.

And they are delicious with Cheese. Sauteed up in some butter, splash of sauterns, a little garlic, over toasted sourdough then into the broiler with some Manchego (I do speak Spanish), garnish with a sprig of thyme.

(* Slurp slurp *)

Course, if you eat enough mushrooms, they will make you a fun guy.

Conversationally, speaking, though, I get a whole mushroom paradigm works better in a corporate setting - kept in the dark and fed a diet of... ungulate by-product.

Ungulate product? You can't say that to a girl who was raised Jewish.

True, but waterboarding doughnuts can get you actionable carbohydrates.

Better to eat doughnuts than be eaten by wolves, which reminds me...better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. So just shut up.

Tophat665

I think we may have romed far afield of the topic at hand, and if they hear, they're likley to remus out. I suppose better a wolf than a tiber, though.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that. If you ever need to cover a lot of distance in an office without being accosted, carry a clipboard and look worried. No one wants to pet a burning dog, and the illusion of flammability is but a clipboard away.

If at all possible, don't make eye contact with them. If you absolutely must make eye contact, don’t blink a lot. But if you must, try to blink slowly. Blinking too much means you’re nervous, or worse, they may think you have an eye muscle disorder.
