Thanks for the tip. We watched it for a break from the band of Brothers marathon. It's nice to see that a couple of the greats can still get work.

Yeah, our 40-pound mutt ate 27 chocolate chip cookies once. No ill effects except it took him 3 days to lose the shit-eating grin.

Stone cold sober. Not that it wouldn't be great when hammered or brutally hung over. Think chips with a sour cream based dip. The flavor is pretty similar.
