ETA - I don't have a TV or Cable/Satellite/etc., either. LOST is about the only show I'm interested in watching, and I can catch it on abc.com at my own leisure.

the new rage out here is meth shakers, basically it is no lab needed, just a bottle! Dangerous stuff.

Given I work on a military installation, you don't want to know the type of food I drive by on the 9 miles trip.
