Apparently the restraining order did not reach your lawyer yet, Pete. Ah, yes...it's a holiday.

I would always lend you a hand, however distasteful it might be, ADB.

The circumstances would have to be pretty dire, though. Just sayin'.

So long as you wear a purse hat, Pete, I am in.

All you haters!!!

Remember the "Grapenuts" commercials of the 1970's with Euell Gibbons..... "Many parts of a pine tree are edible!"

That aside, I must be strange (but most of you know that already!). I love a good martini. Prefer mine "dirty", and with the vermouth poured in, then back out, then add the rest of the ingredients. Since I make mine "dirty" with the olive juice, I have no real preference on the olive as a garnish. Hard to beat Amsterdam brand for taste and price, IMO. But will always take one with Tang or Sapphire. And love gin and tonic. But in spite of that love, I cannot stand IPA's!! A waste of good water and yeast!

But I have also been known to eat a pine tree or two!!

"Edible" does not necessarily equal "tastes good", Cliff.

That's quite true, Icehog

Oh, it's true. But I'm delicious.

My guess is stringy as hell and chewy. You would need a huge stew pot and a day or so.
