Dear MG: your taste buds must be vastly superior to mine. I get no flavor at all. Of all the fruits available, I put them at the absolute bottom

Jackie, my dear, you are probably very close with your pronunciation. All, or nearly all,unaccented Spanish words have the accented syllable in the next to last position. When a word requires the use of an accent is when the accent is not on the next to last syllable[whew-e] Everyone follow that? The brown, or dark brown sauce that of troy is refering to, mole, is a sauce made from ground dried chili peppers, cocoa, raisins, cinnamon, ground pumpkin seeds[hey, that's a nut, isn't it?], etc. and when made correctly, tastes like heaven. The stuff they sell in jars is not made correctly  . I have never seen anyone eat mole on guacamole. If they did, I would suspect a mental illness  . I love Haas avocados. Those huge bright green things they grow in Florida have no taste as far as I am concerned. I think they must be mutants.

Pauvre pauvre Max.
poor, poor Max
I don't understand how you are getting all these notices though. Don't we simply click reply on the last post on the thread to put in an answer.

And then you have the Chac Mool, Mezoamerican god of rain and lightning. Mool is pronounced with an accented long o and almost swallowing the l. Chac Mool was the god that figured prominently in human sacrifice. The sacrificial victim would lie on Chac's belly, face to the sky, while the priest cut out his/her heart with an obsidian knife. For some pictures of Chac Mool and other items of interest: http://www.dallas.net/~lalo/compare.html

That's one option Bel.. but in this case, Connie had already posted, so her "post" will be between mine and yours.. i can go back and click on any post...
this is were the differences between "flat" and "threaded" come into play.
i read "flat", but i tend to post threaded.. I go back to the post i want to respond to to, and click on it..
this means, i can ignore, or not reply to certain post that upset me. you should try threaded.. you might not like it.. but it will give you a better understanding.. One "way" of tracking threads in the in the subject.. while they still can be changed in threaded mode, they will tend to keep the subject (or something closely related to the original) subject.

Oh goodness! I didn't think there was anyone who wouldn't know what Whack a Mole was. This is what happens when your world is bounded by four- to six-year-olds.
Whack A Mole is an arcade game where moles po up out of holes on a console and the child's task is to whack the mole with a hammer (or perhaps just a fist). Someone above 9can't remember who it was) had made a reference to a great whack of nuts, meaning I assume a large portion.
I was puzzled by your reference to guacamole, but eventually figured you were just going on to the aboriginal word avocado, testicle. And you are perfectly correct in the pronunciation.
