For the record, the Gitmo nickname FAR predates its current usage. For evidence, see "A Few Good Men", which came out in the '90's.

I saw the movie but I'll have to look back at what FAR is.

I'm happy about "We're pregnant" and combined celebrity names, because that's just dumb. But truthiness? Come on! That's a great word! And I'm a fan of Stephen Colbert, so I can't help myself. He requires me to like it.

What the heck is 'chipotle'? I've never heard it before. Then again, maybe I don't wanna know.

Haha Mark, I know it sounds weird doesn't it?! But it's a Mexican way of cooking that is suddenly popular, at least in my area it is! But by definition, it is: Smoked dried jalapeno chiles. The distinctive smoky heat of chipotles is used to flavor Southwestern and Mexican dishes. They are sold both dried and in cans, in a vinegary sauce called adobo. Most big supermarkets carry them, but a Latin-American market is your best bet. Chop - To cut food into nearly uniform bite size or smaller pieces.

Banning words?

*sighs* What next?

Friggin' waste o' time i think. Oh well, no harm-no foul, guess I'll have to go 'search' for one of them 'awesome chipolte' burgers, then go 'ask my doctor' about my cold. He'll probably tell me to eat 'healthy food.' It'd be time well spent, instead of getting pwned on world of warcraft.
