I'm seeing a lot of references on the net to the Malachian Prophesies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes which number all the popes -it says the next one will be the last and will see the destruction of Rome. Some are predicting the next pope could be African (Ghanian, to be exact), American, or Canadian. Watch out if they elect an Italian, as Benedict seems to prefer.
I'm beginning to feel really old, as there is so much mention of John Paul II and how old and decrepit he was -because I remember when he was selected (John Paul I, too, I was in college) and the headlines were all about how young and vigorous John Paul II was.
That last line brings back memories. Probably every bass player in the world has a story about getting a cake, or poster, or toy, or business cards, or something that's supposed to relate to their life but shows a regular guitar because the giver or artist couldn't tell the difference.
Any flavor you like is good on a potato chip. But the delivery method is where I differ with my kids. I'm old school. I like to buy plain potato chips and dip them into real flavors. The rest of the family is just as happy with the flavor dusted on top. I could never get into cheese powder or barbecue powder -give me the real sauce!
It's mighty nice for a restaurant to do something like this. On the other hand, it's sad that good behavior in a restaurant is so uncommon as to stand out from the crowd.
I remember when this was a fad. It was a new age-y thing to "cleanse your system," like those weird procedures they came up with in Battle Creek. These people just enjoy the procedure. It's one thing to have a fetish, but quite another to go on TV and tell everyone about it.
