    - They returned March 6 for four weeks. We know when they'll go away :) (I have never had one) -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 08:10 2
      - I never had one either. So Saturday after chess club, I went to KFC and bought two. One because I was hungry and one to put in the fridge for later - crash davis Mar 16, 08:14 1
