Our gumdrop machines are also fond of buts. Every good news story is butted into oblivion. That 'Baby Got Back' song rolls through my head (with a bit of a tweak on the lyrics) with every but bomb....
I like big butts and I cannot (help but) lie......
Don't know about the chicken/broccoli yet, FIL ended up in the hospital yesterday. He had a bad cold, was trying to do too much (mowing the yard and such!!) and was having trouble breathing, Mr. B is over there today. The hospital will keep him for a couple of days.
