Why is this so hard for people to understand? Pop is the guy that boinks Mom. Soda is for when you're being formal. Otherwise its coke. Pepsi is coke. Dr Pepper is coke. Why is it so difficult?

*You only own three spices: Tony's, ketchup, and Tabasco


there are others? why would you need them if you got Tony's!

I've had to do that here in AZ at work...leave the thermostat at 72, heater in the moring, a/c in the afternoon.

I am reminded of a story by Justin Wilson:

A Cajun sent his kid to college to teach him stuff and told the boy, study hard and dont be like your old man...

well the kid came home and the daddy asked is son..
"now boy tell me what you done learned at dat college..'

The boy answered "Pi R Squared"

The daddy answered..."Son...what kind of dribble they been learnin' ya, everybody knows dat Pi arnt' square....pie R round"

It's a Southern thing J... You can't expect a bunch of west coast whackos to understand:D

As for the spices/seasoning thing, IMO there's only garlic & tabasco:)
