OK... I'll call it a month.

As best as I can tell I ran out of the pack of cigs I bought at the bar on
NYE about a month ago today.

I smoked most of them that very night.... and used the few remaining ones to
wean back down to patchable condition.

I opened a tin of sardines last week which was dated two years ago.

They were fine. AND, most importantly, I'm still here

Dood..... There's no such thing as a "fine" sardine.

I had an Uncle Giovanni, who used to put anchovies all over a perfectly good
pizza pie.
But that doesn't make it fine. )

But these were packed in mustard.

But I guess it's an acquired taste.

I had far too much time on my hands some years ago so I made a list
of foods I didn't like. I could only come up with three: beets,
cilantro, and anchovies.

I decided to try them and see if, after awhile, I would start to
like them. I now grow beets and cilantro and am well stocked with
tins of anchovies.

I had a friend in college who would order a delivery pizza. It
would always have anchovies. I asked him if he actually liked
anchovies. I never knew anyone who did. He said he could take
them or leave them. He did it because no one in the dorm would
try to bum a slice.

Heh... very wise dood your friend was.

This reminds me of a true story......

Once upon a time while visiting my parents house, I accidentally sneezed on
a brand new pizza as it hit the table. This was not done on purpose.
Something tickled my nose and kablam! instant sneeze. Those at the table
looked at me (and the hapless pizza) with horror. Then a strange thing
happened. They slid that whole pizza to my place. (Fortunately, Mom had one
more in the oven and one more behind that one - so I was only eating alone
for about 10 minutes.)

But then, suddenly, I started laughing uncontrollably - I had that "moment
of realization" that 100 great comedy bits were born all at.

I told my father to take out his wallet, so I could sneeze on the money;
"No screw that, I'll go to Fort Knox and sneeze all over the gold supply!".
I got a good 2 minute riff out of the "sneeze to own" entitlement program.
Later I worked it into the nightclub act.... and sneezed on peoples food
"live" when I was hungry. (of course the cook was in on it and had more
ready). One guys girlfriend had a great set of cans.. so I asked if I could
sneeze on them.

Congratulations CC. One month is one of those milestones that feels
extra good (IMO).
