BL JR and I made sugar cookies with icing so that may be dessert.

Aren't the cookies and wine for the veterans?

I just like saying Kitzbuhel. Where's the umlaut key when you need one?

Alt-0252 gives you "ü".

Also useful if you want to write to Beowulf: ð and æ and þ.

:rolleyes:. IANAL, but I know better than to argue contract law. I especially know not to say things that stupid. (at least while sober)

A surprising amount of contract law is founded upon the saga of a supposedly barren cow that managed to get knocked up.

If it hadn't happened in the 1800s, I'd swear it was all some sort of practical joke perpetrated by Douglas Adams.

I'm not a lawyer but smart enough to not say things that inconsistent when drunk. ;)

I just got into YUL and it's a gorgeous airport, clean, high ceilings, very well laid out and decorated. Then I think that the only major airport we've opened in years is DEN and I remember how useless of an airport it is.

With DEN -- it's hard to get used to how big it is & the terminal set up!:rolleyes: Maybe I just can't really appreciate it!:D:rolleyes:

That whole contract law thing seems sketchy to me anyway. If I buy a tramp a coat, then I should get something ....:p:D Pacta Sunt Servanda or as Lionel Hutz might say, "A contract is an agreement that cannot be broken ... Cannot be broken.":D

Unilateral promise is a species of obligation recognized under Scots law. They like their law wacky up there.

I asked teh Google about the cow you referenced. It does definitely sound like the product of Mr. Adams's imagination. Or Monty Python.

My question has always been... how do two guys tell that a cow is barren or not just by looking at it :confused:
