Last time I tasted it, is tasted like salt.

Ecochondriacs?

[Lexinom]

You know what deaf people call Puget Sound? Puget Smell.

[irishtenor]

And Tacoma is the armpit of the nation :>)

Yes, ecochondriacs, its a word from Mark Steyn's book, America Alone, like hypochondriac, a perpetual ecological doomsayer, like Al Gore. I love it.

[Lexinom]

I dunno, Everett's pretty stinky.

So far, the research has turned up no evidence that snickerdoodles are harming sea creatures, but their research does lead to some serious environmental questions. Fish rely heavily on their sense of smell to locate food, for example, and, in the case of salmon, to find their way back to their home stream to spawn. "All the spices have odors associated with them, so it's interesting to ask whether they are there in sufficient concentration (for fish) to smell them," Keil said.

This could've come straight from The Onion.

Seriously -- who can repeat "no evidence that snickerdoodles are harming sea creatures" without ROFL?!?!

[irishtenor]

True, and Tacoma is better now that the smelter is gone.

[irishtenor]

I can... maybe...once :>)

On Christmas day it was not raining (for a nice change), so my wife and I went down to our beach (on Puget Sound) and found a wheel rim (we were hoping for a bag of money instead). Does this mean someone around here is baking with wheel rims?

Everything in life from the cradle to the grave and beyond. Everything on earth, under the earth, above the earth. Every emotion, thought and action has to be dissected and analyzed by someone. Much of it is published with a negative view. Meaningless data to be interrupted or misinterruped by anyone. It's a constant game of trivia. Much like this story. Not worthy of publication and should have been filed in the "Who Cares?" category. My life was simpler, less confused and happier back when I didn't know any of this stuff.

At some point, there is going to be absolute scientific proof that humans are bad for the planet and we should all just kill ourselves.

Yes, and when that day comes they will blame President Bush. They won't blame God for putting people on this earth because they don't believe He exits.

Huh?

Down with baking!! Free the apples?

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

Good thing they didn't use any Korinjte cinnamon, huh? What a waste that would be.
