I read the Hobbit and started reading the Lord of the Rings in 1967 while going through a 10 week Marine Corps basic training for a program similar to ROTC while at college. My future life was ruined almost 60 years ago. Thanks a lot.

Just shows how dumb Amazon spokespeople (is that a real word?) really are. Every long time Seattleite knows that Tangletown is between Wallingford and Green Lake. He must be from one of New York, Washington, or Florida

This is why I only eat frites in France. They don't have catsup or vinegar so they don't have to consider them in the frying temperature.
