    Hogs!!!

    It looks like that Texas job is a bust. For now anyway. I guess their still waiting for the permits, and the foreman that I was going to work for decided to stay home because there not going to pay him as much as he wanted. Looks like I'm stuck in Minnesota for a while.

    more addictive than cocaine

    I used to chew on them things all day at work, what a mess that was. Your right though about them being addictive, it's almost like I would get bored if I weren't chewing on them.
