The Thursday Threesome::From the Summer Picnic Basket!::

Onesome: Honey - Hey there! Not that you personally need any sweetening, but just in case: what goes in your summer drinks to sweeten things up? Honey? Sugar? Artificial sweetener? ...or are your taking things straight up this time 'round?

Splenda. It's the only artificial sweetener that actually tastes like sugar.

Twosome: Mustard - Okay, what condiment has to come to the table for that burger or hotdog? Ketchup? Mustard? Salt? Pepper? Just what is it you 'relish'?

Heinz 57 sauce or something like it.

Threesome: Sauce - ...and along with that, which sauce do you simply have to have around? BBQ? A-1? That special sauce you learned to make when you worked fast food at the mall? How about it? You brought those napkins along for a reason!

See above. I find that Heinz 57 sauce improves almost everything it touches, from ground beef to chicken nuggets.

EXTRA: The topic of the week at the Back Porch:
Lining Up - Anyone here so desperate to get their hands on a copy of the new Harry Potter book that they lined up overnight to get it?
Or have you ever camped out in sleeping bags with a thermos of hot coffee on a cold Winter's night for concert tickets for your fave band?
Share your stories about the times your obsession with a book, band, sporting team or anything else has seen you spending an obscene amount of time in line.
What did you do to pass the time? What were the people like around you? Who were you with? And would you do it again?

As mentioned previously, I was part of the entertainment at the Harry Potter release party at the Perimeter Mall (Atlanta) Barnes & Noble. If I hadn't been part of the show, I have to admit, I wouldn't have been there.
I don't recall waiting in line overnight for anything. My wife has, though: Atlanta Public Schools makes the process of requesting an out-of-zone transfer far more work than it needs to be. And although they say you have a month to apply, in practice if you aren't there when they open the doors on the first day, you won't get it.
