Hey! You only thought I was going to get us killed once?

Not nearly enough Nutella was consumed on this trip.
such an awesome name.
and such an awesome visit...
melyngoch - I thought you were going to get us killed only once. There were a half dozen other times I thought that we were going to sustain serious bodily harm.
becca - Yes, indeed (thus cementing our theory about the correlation between male attractiveness and a good Swedish Chef impersonation).
ambrosia - Good point. We'll have to go back to Nashville immediately.
Scottro - :)
We (ashamedly) still have some of the half a jar left. I ate some with a banana today. I need some more rolls.

What I want to know is what it'll take to get you to drive 1900 miles one way to do our library.
