Krystal and Luv rock!
A bag of Doritos, a brick of Philly cream cheese, and an hour. (I have a raging metabolism, LOL!)
We just had a line of storms move through with some wind and hail. The line has moved East of us now.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Mojo, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
I was going to put down brownies with walnuts, but since I don't consider that "junk food" I had to reconsider. I have a number of favorites in different categories, but at the top of the list is no surprise to those who visit the Canteen on Thursday nights and Fridays. POPCORN!
Now for the DC Metroland weather report. Today, nice and sunny. Tomorrow, rainy and cooler!
Now, in honor of junk food day, here's some Tantalizing Trivia to go with it.........
Which U.S. sandwich shop was originally named "Pete's Super Submarines"?
Subway. Subway was born in Bridgeport, CT and was the brainchild of 17 year old Fred DeLuca & his friend Dr. Peter Buck.
Which U.S. midwestern fast food chain, known for their famous burgers, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1996?
White Castle. White Castle burgers are undoubtedly known for their square steamed ground beef patty, grilled minced onions, and no flip method of cooking.
Zteca Mexican Grill is now known by what name?
Qdoba Mexican Grill. The Jack in the Box company owns Qdoba Mexican Grill.
Which U.S. fast food chain was developed based on McDonald's assembly-line system?
Taco Bell. Glen Bell, founder of Taco Bell copied McDonald's systematic idea. He substituted his "Mexican food" instead of "American food". The company was founded on March 21, 1962.
To all newbies and lurkers
Egads! Look at the time. I've got to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!
Now remember, the Canteen is OPEN
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM

Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
An old man and woman were married for years even though they hated each other. When they had a fight, screams and yelling could be heard deep into the night.
A constant statement was heard by the neighbors who feared the man the most... "When I die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"
They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was feared and enjoyed the respect it garnished.
He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had a closed casket.
After the burial, the wife went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.
The gaiety of her actions were becoming extreme while her neighbors approached in a group to ask these questions:
Are you not afraid? ...Concerned? ...Worried? that this man who practiced black magic and stated when he died he would dig his way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life?
The wife put down her drink and said... "Nah... let the old man dig. I had him buried upside down!"
