I love grits. And they are a Southern thing, not a New York thing.

Even I thought that a Noo Yorker explaining grits was a bit like an Aussie giving a recipe for pavlova.

Thank you, Max. Even I know that pavlova is a Zildian* concoction.

I just wanted to mention that even one of the local TV stations here had a (perhaps coincidental) tribute to AWAD on Wednesday. The syndicated episode of "The Simpsons" on the 14th was one in which Homer orders a set of subliminal weight-loss tapes, only to get the Vocabulary Builder tapes instead. For a brief, shining moment Homer has a wonderful vocab:

LISA: Hey Dad, are those weight-loss tapes working?
HOMER: (Shovelling bacon into his mouth) Lamentably no. My gastronomic appetite knows no satiety.

Seems like an awfully suspicious coincidence to me...
