*blinks sluggishly* Hmmm?

I've been weirdly silent lately. Getting nothing done, I assure you. I will not make the fabricated fic deadline of February 1 which I told maxinemeyer to arbitrarily assign me. My ability to believe in fake deadlines is deteriorating with age.

Despite having people on my flist with extremely strong views on both sides of the latest mckay_sheppard kerfluffle, I can't muster an opinion. I've tried! I've got nothing! I am undecided about spots.

A few minor updates to the TS info page: Jim's ATM PIN, speculations on Blair's place of origin, stints in the monastery and Malaysia added to Blair's timeline, and a new feature I'm totally not prepared to follow up on, Likes & Dislikes. I have some kind of placeholdery stuff in there for now. I might continue or expand it if I can think of more specific, citeable affinities and phobias, or I might scrap it. Any suggestions? And *is* WonderBurger a fannish invention?

Wonderburger is mentioned in Seige - Jim and Carolyn talk about some bet where she has to buy him lunch of his chosing. Carolyn immediately says she won't go to Wonderburger. i don't think Blair ever mentions it, but he does comment occasionally on Jim's eating habits.

Thanks! I was looking for the reference. You're totally right.

What I was curious about was if it was a real place or their way of saying MacDonalds without getting sued :-)

I searched and found only this:

It's a restaurant in Chicago.

yet another reason to love Chicago (ex-Due South fan here)

I just have to comment that I find it incredibly funny that the hot dog stand they frequented (at least three times that I can think of) was called "Mr. Tube Steak". No, really. They even took Megan there once.

You didn't make the fic deadline you promised me? Well, I certainly can understand that and I forgive you! But please, if you're writing a story, I'd love to see it when it's soup! Love, max
