    - well, likely, if you can't tell, it is not swelling. - groiny May 30, 07:17 1
      - what groiny said. If you ruptured a bursa (which is common from banging the knee) it would swell up quick. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 07:30

    - then you are doubly wrong. -- nm - znufrii May 30, 07:04 2
      - no, just that the rest of you have been brainwashed by Big Sushi. -- nm - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 07:05 1
        
        okay - znufrii May 30, 07:06
- and me too! -- nm - Beaker May 30, 06:55

  - might be the seaweed in it. does it agree with you? -- nm - colin May 30, 07:10 7
    - Maybe that's the issue. Perhaps its the taste of the rice. Just not sure. -- nm - Kim Pine May 30, 07:11 6
      - try making at home - it's fun and you can leave out the crap you don't like... - colin May 30, 07:13 5

        rice and spicy mayo roll. - colin May 30, 07:15

        but then I would have to eat yucky fish. -- nm - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 07:16 1
        
        veggie rolls are very nice - cream cheese and avacado, or carrots, cucumber, and some spicy sauce. -- nm - colin May 30, 07:17
  - whew, this so totally trumps spawn. woot. -- nm - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 06:55
