Sheila was majoring in linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh and was currently enrolled in an an’atomy class. She carried a small notebook at all times and could be seen furiously scribbling as she heard Harold say, “Wyncha come downstreet on Sundy. We’re gonna watch the Stiller’s game. We’ll have perogies, chipped ham barbecue’s, Arn City beer, an’at.”
Kate Wordsmith -- Kate Connally “If I were as old as I feel, I’d be dead already.” Goldfish: “The wholesome snack that smiles back, Until you bite their heads off.” What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about? [email hidden]

These things are really tiresome and rarely amusing.
But of course I would never squelch your right to post any blather you feel you need to.

As much as I love any fellow Pittsbugger, I gotta pull the plug, too.

I wondered why anyone posts all the off-topic blather here in the first place? Jokes, songs, sports, pets..? I get the impression some here (and Kate is hardly the most guilty) consider this food forum their own private playground and mistakenly think they're a bit wittier or more amusing than they actually are and mistake tolerance for welcome? Perhaps a chat room where they can all talk about anything and everything not appropriate here would supply them with cyber-friends who share an interest in all the topics that don't belong here? I've enjoyed the RFC Chatroom at times and it can certainly provide an outlet for these off-topic subjects....?
