We played dumb with the server, insisting that if they were indeed the same thing, as she assured us they were, we would prefer the French Fries thanks. She never quite caught on that 'we wuz funnin' her' but our fellow diners did and gave us the disapproving glare. Liberty cabbage and Battenberg becoming Windsor......we are indeed a stupid and short sighted species.

I get the impression that he may not have been the easiest dude to get along with, and while not excusing the USLSS surfman who kicked the crap out of him at Marquette, I've always wondered just how that encounter went down.

Sometimes, I suspect Robert was born under a bad sign!
