If there were any seriousness to this portion of the conversation (I realize Tom was serious, but that's another story) I'd be up a creek. Sans Paddle.
Though, you might have a point. Between our French Fries, English Muffins, Tacos, Coconut alcoholic drinks, Sushi, Canadian Bacon with Swiss Cheese, Italian and Russian dressings, Kielbasa, and any other number of foods, we certainly do seem to be inhaling the world's food supply.
Might be why we're so overweight, or at least a portion of it.
Dammit, and now I'm hungry. 😀

Not feeling tip top today.I'll have to refrain from xmas tree burning fest and drink :ermm:
:darn:
?? :ermm:
Do you Americans work to 14th night instead of 12th ??
Or is your Christmas tree being burnt two days too late? 😛
Not everyone on this site except you is an American 😉
Christmas tree burning around here is usually somewhere around the 1st or 2nd weekend after new year.
(as most things in the world, it depends :-))
Today we have a tradition called "lost monday", which symbolizes the fact that we have no money left after new year and after the 3 kings (another tradition where children go from door to door dressed up like the three kings from the birth of Jesus. For money of course). On lost monday, all the bakeries around here sell cheap but delicious pastries.

Today I'm in Zelzate.
Do you advise any particular bakery for the lovely "lost monday" patisserie ?

Unfortunately I've never been in Zelzate before.
And "lost monday" is particulary popular in the Antwerp province, so I'm not sure they know it down there.
But, every decent bakkery should have "worstebroodjes en appelbollen". No matter what time of the year. 🙂

Indeed, Antwerp was a mess this morning. Slippery roads and unadapted driving style causing "fun" traffic jams all over the place 🙁
Regarding the pastries, I was aiming for the theme related ones.
In many cases preferable over the regular gamut.

I left early this morning, so no traffic jams for me.
The theme related patries for "lost monday" (or "verloren maandag") are "worstebroodjes en appelbollen".

What, me being serious? On a topic other than database or maths? Are you crazy or something?
Anyway, Why would anyone (apart from Al Qaida) want the USA to be at the centre of the earth? It's very hot and high pressure down there, I'd be surprised if anyone survived going there. About 4000 miles from the centre of the earth is better.

Being overweight is something the USA is ahead of Britain on, but we're catching up (more's the pity). I could comfortably drop about 20% of my weight, and I'm slim by current British standards (but not by the standards of 20 years ago).

And yet people keep Journeying to the center.

We're not the center of the world? :w00t: :w00t: 😛 😀
