Arby's: We have the beefs

Arby's crispy fish sandwich w/ side of M&C.
Lent is great this year for fish eaters.
Not legal by my 'Eating Standards.'
Although it's very rare for me to actually go outside my house in Pandemic Year, I'm always surprised at how many people are interacting in PandemicWorld.
<Bottom of M&C container>
I was served about 13:00.
I ate it all, finishing it's culinary presentation by warming on intermittent in the microwave.
{The side of the container sez: "Do not reheat in the microwave."}
D4rw1n: Lawyers, not chefs, wrote that warning
b1: THAT surprises me.
I thought Chefs wrote all Arby's messaging.
(And yes, the fish in the sandwich was crispy.)
Belly down to the bar
b1-66er: "Scientists Find 140,000 Virus Species in The Human Gut, And Most Are Unknown"
I'd bet yours are a bit older (and more unknown).
Special K: Of course.

Choosy mofos choose Jef

Cap'n Happy: That's super cool. Believe it or not I described doing this in the early 90s. I wanted animated photos hanging on the wall. Especially how they can interact with you.
It will happen, I'm surprised it's taken this long to get this far.
b1: Did you also invent Jef Raskin?
C': That's a fictitious person

Fried ghost, served cold
[22:23] Special K: "Fry's has deleted its Facebook page and locked its Twitter account ahead of a going-out-of-business announcement, which could come as early as Wednesday morning."
The Mumbler: I *just* saw that!
I'm going to have to seriously consider whether or not to go to any liquidation sales and pick up tons of stuff I absolutely don't need.
K: I've heard those stores have been essentially empty for months going on years. How much stuff could they have left?
TM: I DON'T KNOW BUT I WANT IT!
Demo ChromeBooks, unmatched washer/dryers, Kenny G CD's, bring it on!
K: You want the closeout sale from Fry's of a different era.
I've wondered if the Campbell store has any stuff leftover from when it was an APPL facility.
TM: I think Dave Brockmeier was still roaming the halls.
K: Wow.
TM: (Not really. I have no idea what happened to him.)
K: Good guess though.
b1-66er: I was already asleep when this conversational madness started...
I DON'T KNOW BUT I WANT IT!
is exactly the right tenor and tone.
A true pleasure to read first thing @ 05:00.
{It's nice to have friends.}

Precisely naming the whatchamacallit
b1-66er: Know ahead of time that the Accomplice, MArch, sez of this piece, "now THAT'S reporting..."
The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, is something of a mythic creature in Australian folklore. Unlike, say, the Chupacabra, it was a real beast, but the last documented animal -- Benjamin -- died in captivity in 1936. In the 85 years since, tiger sightings have been constantly reported in Tasmania, an island off the south coast of Australia. Claims are an almost monthly feature in the local press, but there's a bold, new declaration suggesting "not ambiguous" evidence for the existence of the thylacine.
In a video uploaded to YouTube on Monday, Neil Waters, president of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, claims to have rediscovered the thylacine on a camera trap set up in north-east Tasmania. "I know what they are and so do a few independent expert witnesses," he says as he walks down the street with a can of beer in his hand.
Special K: Whoa.

Karpov: I'll try to incorporate the phrase Unlike, say, the Chupacabra in my lexicon.
b1: You truly are a word craftsperson.
