I am totally addicted to the New York Times crosswords, working my way through ALL of the back ones. (I'm up to March, 2007) as well as each day's current one. Had to give up the oreos, though -- too many calories. Well maybe 4 oreo minis now and then!
Ah, you evil backslider, you! We'll be sending the calorie police by to monitor your consumption by the first of next week.

Then rmgjsps (which is pronounced "rumga jaspus") concluded by quoting the opening line of "The Rising of the Moon":

To which I reply:

"Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow.
"I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon,
"For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon."

"At the rising of the moon, at the RISING of the moon!
"For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon!!
!"

Sláinte mhaith.

And for those of you who despise Irish music:

Póg mo thóin....
