- I'd say that's definitely good! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 11:06

        No, calling everyone in Georgia a racist is, retard. - Dr.Vermin Nov 12, 11:16 4
        
        Did I call everyone in Georgia racist? No...not anymore than you claimed tehre were no racists in the state -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 12, 11:18 3

        The bigotry arrives from the underlying assumtion that a state is predominantly racist. No? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 12, 11:16 1
        
        Or more correctly that the Federal Government still has oversight over certain state functions due to past racism...like voting. - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 12, 11:20

I took a tour of a mayonaise 'factory' they had a huge vat and a bottling/labeling machine, mixed and bottled for over 2 dozen labels - zeitgeist Nov 12, 10:31
LIR: Remlik. Do you have a minor spoiler on how to start (spoiler) - oblique Nov 12, 10:30 27
- LIR: Jovian. That's funny about the pathing -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 10:36 8
  - I've had mine freeze on me about 3 times now, requiring a reboot, but that's about as buggy as it's been - decline Nov 12, 10:38 1

  - i like havarti (flavoured havarti - like with hot peppers, or garlic is even better.) -- nm - Andie - 42 shopping days till X-mas Nov 12, 10:41 1
    - im with you on the havarti (sans the peppers) -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 10:45
  - smoked cheddar -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 12, 10:41
  - port wine, you'd be amazed -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 12, 10:41 3
    - much better answer the second time around :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:43
    - ohh, nice. gotta try it. -- nm - Andie - 42 shopping days till X-mas Nov 12, 10:42 1
      - I actually have no clue. I've never done it. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 12, 10:43

  - After experimenting with various cheese combinations, I've found several appropriate for anyone's particular tastes. - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 10:37 9
    - Kraft? are you out of your mind? -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 10:44 3
      - It's the retro-nostalgia effect. A Kraft American grilled cheese sandwich and Campbell's tomato soup is one of the ultimate comfort food combos. - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 10:50 2
        
        You are wise beyond your years. (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 10:53 1
        
        You sweet-talker, you ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 11:08
    - the second answer is the only correct one. -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 10:39

    - *swoon* -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 10:38
    - okay, you did nuance it :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:38
  - velveeeta -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 12, 10:37 2
    - Velveeta isn't cheese, therefore it cannot be the "best cheese". -- nm - TWuG Nov 12, 10:38
    - I asked about cheese. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:37
  - Kraft Cheese singles. My wife prefers sharp cheddar -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 10:35 2
    - there is something funny that happens to sharp cheddar in the melting process, I prefer a medium cheddar if we're going to melt it -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:36 1
      - Agreed. (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 10:47
  - Pepper Jack, no question. (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 10:33 2
    - Also an excellent choice! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 12, 10:38

    - mozzarella for a grilled cheese? good grief man -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:32 2
      - It's just garlic bread with cheese! -- nm - Amy Nov 12, 10:43
      - Because of the bacon involvement, I was thinking this would be an open-faced sandwich, thus allowing the mozza to get toasty and crunchy. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:33
- ^peeping tom -- nm - Max Nov 12, 10:30
I wouldn't mind trying one of those Dijon ketchups -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:28 5

  - You weren't supposed to tell anyone my pet name!! -- nm - Amy Nov 12, 10:33 2
    - they wouldn't have known it was you if you wouldn't have said anything! -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 10:35 1
      - This is true. I had assumed it was Kilbo. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:36
