    are you eating meat today?

    Well, that's certainly appropriate for Good Friday (good for whom? I've always wondered. Kinda sucked for Jeebus). It fits right in with the traditional hymn "What a Friend We Have in Cheeses."

    Whittle a lot. Once, in a fit of native pride, I chipped out a stone knife and whittled with that. Gave me a real appreciation of steel. Now I whittle with. . . a stone knife (well, technically zirconium oxide).
