it's got to be more original than baked beans anyway

what if the baked beans were illeglly imported?

Hmmm...smuggled beans. Bandito beans. Sounds like a dish with melted cheese and taco chips. Salsa, anyone?

Anyone think that there's an opening in the market here? This time next year, we could all be millionaires... except that we'll all prolly put it off for too long and someone else will get in there first

*crunch munch*
Yep, these beans are tasty!

Professors can be picky like that.......damn them....

Good for you!

I'm compulsively reloading my h2g2 page to see if anybody has posted in the last few minutes. How's that for procrastination?

You too huh?

*whistles innocently*

I'm sorry your Queen, I didn't see your post there above BE Dan's. Nice to see you here, and nice to see you and the King consistently topping the 'Most Prolific Posters' list on the h2g2 Info Page. I'm scared to think how much stuff you must be putting of to spend all that time posting. Well done .
I must say that this afternoon, something happened which put all notions of procrastination out of my head. I was procrastinating at the time as a matter of fact - spending some time here, and watching the local weather (when I should have been reading my book) when I heard a screeching noise coming from the tv. "This isn't when they usually test the severe weather alarm" I thought, and moments later there was an announcement to the effect that a tornado had been sighted about 40 miles south of here, and it was headed this way. I can't remember the last time I felt as worried as I did for about 45 minutes until the storm passed - no storm cellar here you see. Thankfully there was no tornado, just a very much awfully too many big huge thunderstorm. Honestly, I thought that the host of Midian (sp?) was marching up I-35 from San Marcos, and what a lightning display! When Mother Nature blows off some steam, you'd better not do any procrastinating!!!

Just putting off study, nothing important...
You seem to live in an area prone to having "interesting" weather....why no storm shelter? Important procrastination to be done?

I live in a small apartment complex - I guess the people who built it didn't think it would be worth the expense of putting in a storm cellar (no profit in it you see). 80-odd years down the line, and people still have that Titanic "lifeboats only for the important passengers" mentality. Hell, I'm in America now - if I get killed I'll sue the property company up the wazoo . You have pretty ghastly weather around this time of the year too don't you Cthulhu?

Oh, of course, one of the great benefits of capitilism, that's why I like Kingdoms...........we can have some ordinary weather, but we don't get tornadoes or anything that drastic down this far, so I can enjoy any storms we get without fearing for my life......and so long as it isn't too cold, I like the rain anyway.....

Ah, the principle of the benevolent dictator - someone who knows what's best for the majority, and through their charisma manages to get the grudging support of the minority. Kind of like Fidel Castro but without the intolerance of opposition. It's a system I've always believed in and wanted to live under because of the long term view it encompasses - there's no ping-ponging between left and right, there's continuity. When businesses are run that way everybody praises the patrician boss, but very few seem to be quite so keen to have someone like that running their country, apart from a few times in history - FDR springs to mind, but he didn't really have absolute power. Can you think of anyone (apart from yourself and the Queen of course )?
