* Eating crunchy shelled tacos during lunch in cubicleworld is rather loud (and a piece of shredded cheese just fell down inside my keyboard). I knew I picked the wrong leftovers to bring and should've had reheated steak instead.
(Sidenote: I learned this week that there isn't a better way to prepare steak than grilling (over propane, of course). I recently had it broiled and it was all right, just not as good. )
* College athletes aren't suppose to get gifts of any sort so why did U of M's football team get a $400 gift card to Best Buy just for appearing in the Capital One bowl?
* I was debating telling this tale but then got to thinking, who doesn't like a good bathroom story? No one! So I walk into the women's bathroom at work. It's a three seater. The first seat has this door that self-closes so it's rarely used because people think that it's occupied so they go to one of the other two. I walked in and saw the door was open on the first stall so I decided to use that one for a change. As I turned right and headed in, the first thing I saw was that the toilet seat was up. usually the custodians leave it up after they've cleaned it. It was rather late in the morning for this to still be up so I thought it was odd. Then I noticed "skid marks" and then I got confused. Did someone just poop with the seat up? If so, who does that sort of thing? Could it be a really considerate squatter who lifted it to prevent any splashes while they went? Perhaps but the splash marks would be underneath the seat anyway. If you can make it splash onto the top of the seat, I would suggest to this person to lay off the fiber. Could it be someone to actually prefers to sit on the cold, narrow rim of the bowl? It's a shame I was a few minutes late. I wish I had seen the shoes of this person for later identification

I prefer to not think about these things when using a public restroom.
So did you use that one or go stall hopping?
I moved on. That one freaked me out too much to use.
Here's a thought, the previous toliet user did it with the seat up so she could work on her ski legs. Ask around to see if anyone has a ski vacation nearing. :)
Propane?? Ack.
Lump charcoal(not briquettes)and hardwood are the only acceptable fuels for grilling.
As far as the "skid marks", womens' facilities are part of the great unknown for me. I can offer no insights.
Maggie - That is an excellent observation. I will do that. Also, this person must have thighs of steel.
Propane? I'm with Snakeeater on this one. If you're going to go to the trouble of grilling and eatin' red meat, use charcoal
I'm like Ed, I try not to think what those before me did in public bathroom--but if you try Maggie's suggestions, you could cut back a bit on the gym!
And Shawn Cassidy, I should have guessed! lol
Yeah but us propane users will have eaten by the time you charcoal people even get ready to throw the steak on the grill. This leaves us free to concentrate on other things like the beer.
Ed makes a good point.
But on the other hand, the time lag involved gives me an excuse to have a couple of extra beers. Grilling is a hot business and one needs to keep the radiator filled...
Propane is easier; but charcoal or wood makes a better tasting steak.
