M&M's had a cat that was given to her by her mother before she passed. Her mom named the cat Sambo. Right after we got married the cat got out one night and I had to chase it around the apartment complex calling "Sambo! Come here Sambo! sambo, get your #%# over here right now!"
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

As far as Cracker Barrel...

As Aqua and Copper can attest, Fairfax County in VA is a pretty diverse place. Probably a little over 50% is Caucasian, 20% Hispanic, 15 %Asian, 10% Middle Eastern, and 5% of African descent. I say descent, because a good portion are not "African Americans" as the phrase is generally understood, but literally recent immigrants from Africa. Among Caucasians, probably 5% are transplants from Russia, Bulgaria, etc...

Recently, they opened up a (gasp) Cracker Barrel in Herndon. Karla was excited because she likes their cooking as it's "down home" cooking. Considering that nobody else likes meatloaf in the family, and Cracker Barrel makes a good meatloaf, I was looking forward to it, too. When we went, though, something was off. It just didn't feel right. Halfway through the meal, I realized that there were only Caucasians in the restaurant. Even the waitstaff and kitchen staff! It was unbelievable. I think a full 1/3 of all the Caucasians in the towns of Sterling and Herndon were there. I leaned over and whispered to Karla and Luke "well, now we know how they got their name." They both sprayed food everywhere. We haven't been back since.

I *knew* there was something we had in common.

I don't get folks who don't like meatloaf. It's natures perfect food. Well, once you kill and grind up the cow anyway.
