“Plus, after a whole day of OT luminaries insulting one another, have you gotten any closer to convincing one another about anything at all?”
Speaking of theories, dona’s just agreed that mine has been proven, to wit:
“No one is ever actually persuaded on the OT. We just spar. So go ahead and say what you need to say, but don’t get caught up in the expectation that you will persuade any of ther regulars. It’s our own little version of a sunday morning pundit show.”
I make tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes this time of year because they’re available in the farmers’ market. Rest of the year I use canned tomatoes, just like Dave.
Should I be nicer to cmu? I probably should, shouldn’t I. Show of hands?
If I followed today’s discussion with any kind of care, I wouldn’t have been able to do any work at all. Plus, after a whole day of OT luminaries insulting one another, have you gotten any closer to convincing one another about anything at all?
Levity is a force, not a theory, cmu. And puns, as a force, are unstoppable.
DIBS — got great tomatoes from the CSA this week. So good I would not waste them on a sauce, or even a salad with dressing. Just cut into wedges and eat. That’s the problem with sauce from scratch — tomatoes good enough to use are too good to use.
Of course I’m nice to him in real life. The one time I met him my wife and I had a lovely coversation with him. Very personable guy, easy going. I’m sure I’ll have another perfectly pleasant conversation with him next time I see him, though probably more awkward.

Cute stuff, legion. I laughed.
Gravy is gravy and sauce is sauce.

“As for a gravitational theory, if you know of a credible one, I would love to be enlightened”

Sigh.
“Hal, do you call it gravy or sauce???”
Good question. Gravy is a subset of sauce, usually made from meat drippings.
