The fourth line in Aargh’s entry (I Am Legend) reads:
“By making two different endings … and by NOT placing the explosives so fucking close to the house, nimrod!”

Today’s menu-builder often takes herself too seriously and tops off an impressive edifice with a disastrously rich dessert, forgetting that fresh fruit, with perhaps a cheese, would be a far happier conclusion of the meal for all concerned. Well worth exploiting, too, are the virtues of fruit–in either cup, compote, salad, or sherbet form–as a “lightener” during as well as after a big meal.
If fruits lack flavor, serve them or prepare them with candied peels, ginger, zest, or spices; or add a little lemon or lime juice to cooked fruits and fruit fillings.

Rob:
You know, we actually had a laugh here about how we generally have some kind of manual next to us and how lucky it was that we didn’t for this project. Now that I see yours, though, there’s a inexplicable humor to it.

CmdrSue:
i think an Acting Captain is a real Captain, according to ship law. For reals, isn’t that how it works? That you don’t stop being a Captain until you disembark the ship?

SuuuuuhWEEEEET! I almost asked you guys to just be my five and I can see now that my instincts were right – that is an awesome “almost story” of quotes. Now you can consider yourselves your own five. Thanks for playing.

And technically I’m not a Captain, I’m a First Officer. But I’ve been “Acting” ever since Captain Dave took off to start his Quasars cereal company and Marvin, the shipboard AI, refused to take command as he had been programmed to do.

(The really funny part of the above? All official USS Bob history. These items are from our historical documents “Return of the Prodigal Dave (The Dangers of Dirty Undies)” and “Who Axed Marvin?” You knew you liked me for a reason.)

In fact, the delimiters of the string could even be non-paired. These are all the same:
s{fred}{barney};
s[fred][barney];
s#barney#;
