Comments on: The Trouble with Apostrophes and Nuts http://fluidpudding.com/2008/10/03/the-trouble-with-apostrophes-and-nuts/ It's the new small talk!

The only other problem with them is that the clicking of the shells sounds a little bit like someone is clipping their nails, and behind the cubicle walls I don't want to have to think about the possibility of my co-workers doing their personal grooming, even if they are just eating nuts.

Oh, and I would have killed about 10 years ago if we could have only had a "nut" joke...we were all about the "ballz" at Chez Potchery.

I loved your nuts jokes! So, I love pistachios. The salt n pepper flavored sounds devine. Kind of like that Orville Redenbacher popcorn you told us about. Mmm! So tell me, what's wrong with unopened pistachios? Does that mean they are bad, just like oysters/mussels that don't open? Love that Harper said the pistachio looked like a sandwich with big eyeballs. She does have a point. What a hoot! I loved your nuts jokes! So, I love pistachios.

Yum! I ate a bit of everything this weekend trying to figure out what would satisfy that craving, that non-specific craving that I only knew was wrong after I had eaten an entire bowl of whatever I was using to kill the craving...if only I had read this entry earlier. Now, I will know what I want all day and still not be able to kill the craving. I want some Pistachios.
