That story infuriates me Snappy. Unless the bottom of the cup broke off due to a defect then I don’t want to hear it. Coffee is supposed to be served hot.

Sorry denton, you have to re-read what I wrote – I’ll do it with you if you DON’T have your licence (keeps fingers crossed that DIBS has a bike licence….)
“a jury awarded $2.86 million to a woman who burned herself with hot coffee she purchased from fast food restaurant McDonald’s. The trial judge reduced the total award to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided.”
chicken, rest assured, we’ll arrange a combined Clambake-Sausagefest in your honor. And it looks like Denton is going with us for our bike licenses. Where’s Kens? I thought Kens wanted to get his bike license too?
Funny, legion. As I recall, the coffee case never went anywhere. I think it was dismissed and didn’t go to a jury. Poster child for greedy lawyers and stupid theories, but not for a legal system run amok. If the plaintiffs had won, and the verdict upheld on appeal, I’d feel differently.
Now, if someone approached me to bring suit against the MTA because s/he was snakebit on the F train, well, hmm, how bad were the injuries, did you say??

Sure, why not. There is a purty nice Hayabusa that Kens has been eyeing for some time now.

Jackasses.

My dreams of opening an Amish dating site have been dashed today.

Cgar, check with Six as well if you have his email. He might be in town during the holidays and will probably be very happy to visit Sycamore.

Winthrop, I’m loving your shortcuts! What an awesome story.
I make mine from Bisquick. I could do the from scratch kind but I really prefer how the Bisquick ones come out.
