English Rose is learning the same pitfalls her fellow Pilgrims have encountered when they ventured out of Plymouth. Scorching heat , draining humidity, wild animals and a long trek ride test her endurance until she reaches the promised land, i.e. Chicago.

Give me a break…Chicago pizza isn’t all that hot. It’s more sauce than cheese, and sausage seems to be the topping of choice. Saucy sausage on dough!

Does that sound appetizing to you? And did you know, it’s offensive to put ketchup on a Chicago Style hot dog? I kid you not: It is taboo to put ketchup on a Chicago hot dog; there are actually some hot dog shops and stands that will refuse to provide service if the customer makes the request.

I’m not kidding " I’ve been to such places. "We don’ got no catch up heeah. You ain’t from Shikahga, air ya?" No. No, thankfully I’m not.

Just don’t get me started on the Cubs; a team that has not won a World Series since 1908!!!

Heavens above, your point is actually well taken and I do not dispute it. However, there is a difference between publicly protesting as part of a self-identified and publicly declared opposition and trying to pass yourself off as being alphabetically challenged with no agenda who "just happened" to be passing through.

There is a difference between public protest and surreptitious disruption; if you see my point.

@Tryagain,
Irresistible when you talk that way i.e. making little sense but it looks so good
on (imaginary) paper. Do go on!

Jabberwocky Wink

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, CalamityJane;
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought"
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in her joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Lol.

@jespah,
Random thought: Tryagain came back after the bait...uhmm.. headline "A2k goes porno" was published yesterday. Goes to show you: sex sells, no matter what!

@CalamityJane,
Something tells me that Tryagain will claim that he only looks at A2K for the "articles."

Taking time out T.R.Yagain used the normally sparsely attended A2K Bastille day celebrations to give an emotional rendition to promote the impotance of litteracy and numeracy as fundamental life skills …

Teaching Maths in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for £100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or £80. What is his profit?

Teaching Maths in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M." The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

Teaching Maths in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for £100. His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Maths in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes £20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the Forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

When asked to comment on other excellent A2K articles he replied, “Unless they contain vivid images of big jugs and tight buns, I tend to give them a miss”. - Although I do subscribe to the Ceramics and Bakers Weekly.
