any idea what he was alluding to with

But in this L-shaped near depression the last thing one would have to worry about would be stock markets as more severe issues would have to be addressed.

Is he talking about ice cream parties, the smell of new mown grass, the smiles of children on Christmas morning?

Tell me, tell me!  Is it fun?  Will I giggle like a school girl?  Tell Me!

Time to plant your potatoes, Twank. Forget them truffles.

But Sir, the wealthy will always be there in some form and truffles will always be a delicacy so why don't I

  1. prove my value to the overlords

  2. hang out with them doing "science"

  3. do what I can for "others" on the side.

That whole "plant some potatoes" stuff just doesn't sound wise, especially since I just learned recently (Megan II's nutrition/metabolism class I'm tutoring) that the real problem won't be calories (i.e. starch from potatoes) but from want of protein.  Our bodies don't store that stuff and need a constant supply.

But I get your drift.  And I AM giggling.

Truffle farmers can be the object of torches and pitchforks as collaborators, and they tend to be much easier targets than well armed overlords.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Well you ain't invited to my truffle tasting parties, that's for sure. "collaborators"?  I prefer the term "whore", thank you.

Hey, speaking of whores, did you see that underwear site that some lady hitting on DoDo recommended?  Classy, but they don't have a newsletter for America.  What's that all about?

Who knows the answer to your final question? But I don't think the lady needs to be aprroximated to what you said...

No, I was referring to the underwear ad itself. Please, I've learned my lesson around this place.  The only person I can call a whore with impunity and accuracy is moi.  :)

What a wonderful title:

"Twank the Truffle Whore"

For protein, plant easy crops like lentils and chick peas.

And it sounds like you've got the squirrel protein cornered.

In terms of squirrel protein, Havahart traps are fairly inexpensive

and Sac State has a large arboretum suitable for trapping which nobody goes to.  Too outdoorsy for students.

In terms of being a lentil/chick pea farmer, I'd rather be Salma Hayak's truffle supplier, assuming I have a choice.  :)
