Great to lose WAIT - that's good news, if true. I have yet to meet anybody who enjoys
waiting. But doubtful any avoirdupois lost.

Oh! When I saw "Diet Time" was the thread header, I assumed we were about to discuss the Japanese Parliament. So slice me sushi! I'm about to lose my tempura.

Don't you try to worm your way back into my affections, Bill. I'm very careful about my sushi ...

Being "careful" is useless. Only cooking counts. And only worms would want your
affection.

I think it's an ouchingly clever slogan. Reminds me of those cutesy names for coffee shops and haircut places.

I love it!

I soooo wanted to go into Advertising, but did not have the confidence to. As much as I love words, I still feel like I am running naked through the halls of the English Department at an Ivy League school, when I proffer my written words.
