I just re-read that last quote by me and it sounds like it might have racist undertones. But it really doesn't. Here is the origin of this quote:
==========================================
Lisa S: anyway, what i was saying was, space junk gets eaten up by our black hole, which will then ultimately end up getting spit out by the corresponding white hole
it's a neverending cycle!
spudart: WHITE HOLE?
spudart: NO WAY
spudart: YOU SPEAK FOOLISH
spudart: please speak english
Lisa S: a white hole is the opposite of a black hole instead of sucking things in, it spits stuff out in massive amounts
spudart: "So many of us speak foolish when we should be speaking english." --Matt Maldre, 2008
==========================================
and yes, when i'm typing in an instant message to be a great quote, I do put it in quotes and put my attribution on it. That makes it funny.

One of my favorite Matt-ributes is the fact that you can have two conversations in one with him. The first conversation is what YOU think you're talking about with him. The second conversation is what the conversation morphs into after he adds his little interjections. (See previous posts above for examples.)
In that conversation, we started out talking about weird happenings in space and ended up with several new quotes! How do ya like that?!

If there are any foodies on this board, what the eff is a currant? Apparently, there are some in my salad from Corner Bakery. Not sure if I like that.

+raising hand+ Foodie here! A currant is a small variety of the seedless grape. I put them in my Carrot Cake ;)

Thanks Tom! I seriously want to return this salad. I'm not sure what the culprit is, but something in there is super crunchy -- like take-out-a-filling kinda crunchy.
Here's what's SUPPOSED to be in there:
"Crisp green apples, toasted walnuts, bleu cheese and currants tossed with our mixed greens, balsamic vinaigrette and harvest crisps."
I know, I know. The obvious culprit would likely be the "harvests crisps" (a.k.a. croutons), but I haven't eaten any!
Hope I'm not eating bugs.

Currants are harder than raisins, but unless they are ancient, they aren't "super crunchy". I'd definitely take the salad back and talk to the manager.

"Super crunchy currants are not good."
