Unrelated. I just saw my first picture of Bruno Mars. That guy does not look anything like what he did in my head -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:04 4
- "When I heard the name Bruno Mars, I thought someone was talking about a new Nickelodeon show." - MDH Feb 15, 12:11
- I can't believe they were still talking about his "good-boy image" months after being busted for cocaine. -- nm - nubby Feb 15, 12:06 1
  - But he loves girls just the way they are and would catch a grenade for love! -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:07

  - i have no idea - he's in another country. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 12:09 2
    - Xenophobe! ;P -- nm - Inigo Feb 15, 12:18
    - In that case, just order it, there's a more than decent chance that FTD will send him something different anyway. - musubi Feb 15, 12:13
- I can't tell for sure if those are live plants (I think so). Bill always appreciated those. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 15, 12:04 1

- White is good. Before I clicked I thought, "Solid colors and fewer, larger petals is good." -- nm - Max Feb 15, 11:57
- Send him a 6-pack instead (unless that's what led to the car accident) -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 11:56 2
  - that's not really 'corporate.' :) -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:57 1

- . . . Coca Cola had allowed the actual secret recipe to be photographed for a newspaper article, especially as late as 1979 - moles Feb 15, 11:45 4
  - but, it's the *original* recipe right? not the current one? -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:54 3
    - the article about the TAL life story gave me the impression that they had printed a photo of the original original recipe from way back in the 1800s - moles Feb 15, 11:57 2
      - obviously it isn't the current recipe, as it has sugar in it - currently CocaCola uses HCFS -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:03 1
