Taking a month off work for holidays is nice, but there sure is a s&^t load waiting when you get back. OOOOooops, sorry you retired folks have probably forgotten all about this.

No, No, No, Mikey...It's Chuckie Cheese.

So you folks up there in Canajunland have those house ape pizza places, too, Eh? I'm surprised, since it would be such a blatant corruption of the culture up there in Quebec.

So, Mikey, whattaya' bin doin'...trying to cut back on eating expenses since you got back from Galveston?

Chucky-

No, we don't have them here in Queerbec, I was just amazed how many we saw on the road tour once we crossed the border. To do business here, the name would have to be changed to "Charles du Fromage" to get past the language n*zis. Not much incentive to set up a business with hurdles like that.

We had our Chapter Directors meeting last night at Magnans, one of the legendary Montreal steakhouses. I'll take you and Jan there when you come up for our Regional next year (hint hint)

Sheesh, I think I have heard of that place.

I can visualize a photograph, now, taken with some kind of yellow filter...the lights all look kinda' bright and cheery, but it's not overlit, white damask table linens, nice silver with about three forks and a butter knife across the top of the place settings, about three crystal drinking glasses, and waiters dressed in white waist coats and black trousers. Suppose they would let a drawling West Texan in a place like that without insisting on a heavy deposit up front?

I either read about it in one those "always in the seat pocket in front of you" airline magazines, or...You didn't tell me about it before in trying to lure me above the northern border, did you?

Ketchup on french fries? How mundane. We got bored with that years ago. Oh, wait I forgot, you're from Ontario! That's the place that holds the "British Guide to Gourmet Cooking" in such high esteem.

For the benefit of our American friends, this book is on the list of world's thinnest books. I quote- "Page 1-Boil all food until it has attained a pale grey pallor. Page 2 - Close eyes and taste. Page 3. If it is possible to distinguish whether the food is meat or vegetable, continue boiling as required.

Hey Clem,

We've got a new delicacy for you to try. It's called poutine (pronounced poo-tin). It involves fries, but I can't say anymore in public, it would shock all the stiff upper lip Ontario guys.

"Stiff upper lip Ontario guys" !!!! Obviously you've been hiding out in La Belle Province for too long.
How are the plans for the 2002 regionals coming. I've heard that the site of the Quebec NCRS meets is great. Figure a Regional next year would be a good excuse to attend.
