#1 I love caramel coated, but Im afraid for my teeth. I'll settle for lightly buttered.

#2 Nothing says Paleo mourning like a riot followed by a gunbattle.

#3 Barbara Skolaut seems to be a bit busy, so I'll make a batch of popcorn for y'all. Lightly buttered, per Liberalhawk's request. ;-) Here you are -- enjoy!

#4 Thanks, tw. This is such a guilty pleasure.

We sneer at the Paleos for acting out their little Lord of the Flies scenarios, but you have to admit that fighting and killing during a funeral has a certain "cut out the middle man" efficiency. Plus they have stone throwing for the kiddies. Fun for all ages!

#5 Thanks for pitching in, tw.

You're right - I've been swamped since the last week of October, between my job and my business (this is my busy season). Except for Thanksgiving week - which I alway spend with family and friends in NC - I won't be able to come up for air until the first week in December. Drive-by snark will be attempted when possible.

But I am investing in popcorn futures - the better to serve the 'Burg upon my return. :-D

#6 People dieing at funerals has a special Palestinian sort of continuity to it.
