  - I mean, a coat hanger abortion is a part of the movie, so I dunno. - kelly Jul 27, 14:36 2

      - We're figments of your imagination. -- nm - David Jul 27, 14:48
    - interesting. i wonder if it catches on, if it would drive folks to the site? -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 14:23 1

        we never used anything fancy for this. Just regular cheddar or whatever. -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 13:59
        
        The “problem” I have with maple syrup is that you will taste it for a long time after no matter what. -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 13:55 1
