I say they're not officially toppings if they're not actually on top of something.

If they're not on top of something and in a bag, wouldn't it be more accurate calling them baggings? YES or NO?

Yes. However perhaps a more marketable word would be "enclosables".

Yes. Perhaps they'd also like to change "bag" to "enclosure". Please find enclosed- 'toppings'. Or maybe 'toppings' is the problem word? Maybe they should call them 'vegetable enhancements'?

My 8 yr old nephew recently got second place in a race, at school. There were 23 kids running that day and all of them received the same 'participant' ribbon. Well, he was pissed off about that to say the least. He walked up to his teacher and handed her back the ribbon and said, "they gave me the wrong ribbon". So I'm proud of him, and annoyed at the situation.

When I was a kid, and I lost a race, I went home with the 'looser' pit in my stomach, and a whopping batch 'o' sweet fuck all! And I liked it that way!

Wanna race?

Your nephew is great.

Exactly. Kids naturally have some common-sense; it takes our nanny-state and public school system to beat common-sense, pecking orders, acceptance of risk, and competition out of them. Then they graduate into a real world.....

Damn! Hadn't thought of that. How about 'supplementary yummy bits'?

Oh, i thought it was very funny. I just wanted to see if you would answer a yes or no question with a yes or a no. And you didn't.

Goddammit! Now that did make me laugh. That was very cruel, DPS, very cruel indeed.

Roswells, Art, your mind works in a most wonderfully strange manner.
Don't change.

Thanks, Gruntled!

I recently kicked my Coke Classic habit and switched to diet soda. Something is weird with how it reacts with ice though. It congeals all the cubes into a single big ice-loaf which tries to chip my teeth every time I take a sip.

Emergency root canal surgery. But heck, it got me a 4.1 day work week plus a little cache of vycodin for laterz. I've never had to take one of them in my life but this time around, they are my besties.

It annoys me that everyone talks about being "devastated" after the death of a celebrity.
Devastated? Really? I didn't realize that you and Prince and Doris Roberts were so close.

The inherent value of these things is constant.
It's the currency that has changed. It's super inflated.
Notice that it's only after we were completely taken off the gold standard that things went nuts.
Go ahead and put Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill. It's just Monopoly money.
Put fuckin Oprah on there for all I care.

Your nephew got first place, in my opinion.
