Regarding the "letting the terrorists win" line, that was meant to be tounge in cheek. Kind of like "Thanks Obama" when the vending machine is broken.
But seriously, who the hell doesn't like peanut butter? Loved the exchange on that one.
I am in and out of this forum as I am trying to wrap up may last fall semester of AE and am mad busy. But I popped in to check on this thread because as I was making a run to the grocery store (in the car, that I own), my headlights hit a reflective vest in the distance. "Hey, that's really bright!" I thought. And then the guy disappeared. As I approached the intersection, I could barely make his figure out in the dark. He didn't have any lights at all, so he was straight invisible when a light wasn't hitting him. Not that this is an argument against reflective wear, because his side visibility was pretty spot on. Maybe I should have caught up to him and offered him some cheap spare lights I have? If I see him again...
