Ya know, those are supposed to be the same thing. But. There's the things you crack the shells to get at, and they're chewy and sweet. Very tasty. And then there's those white things, shelled and skinned, I guess, that are brittle and relatively tasteless. And _those_ are supposed to be the same thing. What do they do, boil all the flavor out or something?

Don't fight it, mimus...Just lie down and try to relax: >It's amazing how far hazelnuts in the shell can roll when you spill a bowl >of them on a hardwood floor. Oh. So YOU'RE the guy who lives upstairs from me??? I always wondered what the fuck you were doing up there. Oh, and can you cool it with the loud phone conversations with your ex-wife, or whatever the fuck she is? I can hear *everything*, you know. Thanks in advance.

Ah, wait, isn't there a sense in which "mould" refers to forest top-soil, and is therefore not an obsolete American or imported British synonym of "mold"? could that perhaps be the semantic import I have missed here? There _are_ usually a few leaves or leaf-bits kicking around here and there around here . . . . -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 Decorum, after all, was a more subtle and ultimately more satisfactory weapon than high feelings and improper conduct. < Jack Vance
