So, since the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team won 12 games in a row just last week, as a promise that'd been made since the 1950's, the local burger/diner chain George Webb gave out free hamburgers today.

Numbers say over 180,000 throughout the Milwaukee area. That is a LOT of beef. *^^*

It seems to be the flavor only. Using real women would mean a total HR violation.

An experiment: How hard would it be to create a paragraph
belaying most deviations into prose and focused solely on
characters at the start of a sentence, making sure they are
done in such a way where the alphabet materializes in an
entertaining way? I asked Saf if it was possible, but my
friendly author had some reservations about trying it. I
guess it can really be a challenge for some. I think I might
have to try it sometime. ?
