    Danner boots. Nothing else fits as well, and nothing lasts as long. I've got very bad ankles, and I sometimes do off-trail stuff up to 12 miles at a hike in rural Idaho. Danner is the one thing I absolutely won't ever compromise on. Crawling to the car on one leg because my ankle blew out probably scares me more than anything else when I'm out.

    Kershaw knives. Just awesome knives.

    Trek mountain bikes. Just had good luck with them in the past. My current one isn't that great, though, so if I upgrade it'll be a nicer brand than Trek. Not sure what.

    Cadbury's chocolate. I'll eat any old damned chocolate because I have no self control. But I only feel good about it afterward if it's true English-made Cadbury's (or better quality).

    Nescafe. All other instant coffee tastes terrible.

    That's about it. Otherwise I tend to go with whatever is cheap.

    I always use Tide Laundry Detergent and eat Adam's Peanut Butter but that's the extent of my brand loyalty.

    If that's the case you've been holding out on me.

    I'll share publically. Her and I met once a few years ago....a secret rendezvous as it were....at the state fair, no less. We enjoyed a meal. Think it was chili. Or, was it wings? Hmmmm........Nonetheless, she's quite the lady. I was extremely impressed to say the least.

    Nothing ever really became of our brief encounter, though. But as I understand, she's totally taken these days. Off the market. Kaputskis.

    Seemingly, she comes in here now only to talk b-ball, other pertinent topics of the day, and/or to stir the proverbial discussion pot....which, by the way, sometimes only serves to light up our respective emotions.....even to the point of getting us all hot & bothered (is it warm in here, or is it just me??). After all, Momma always said, boys will be boys will be boys. Right?

    Don't get me wrong, though. She's far from a tease. She's still all the lady. Her intentions are always honorable, even if some of the boys' are not.

    All I can really say is, you're on your own, laddie. I wish you the best in your endeavors! :cheers:

    There were three distinct shades of creepiness in that post. Well done, ABM!

    I'm certain of that. Never want to be careless/frivolous/n-i-g-g-ardly when it comes to choosing after dinner rolls.

    Dang, I though you had a semi-colon, at least.
