Ode to the Dinner Mint
 
And now, by way of limerick, here's my last word on the subject...

There once was this thread about dinner mints
Put up by a Kauai itinerant
She was known as just Margot,
Looked for no "Mint Embargo"
Just wanted feedback from all sorts of Fodor tints

Well, the feedback came quite fast and furious
From Fodorites who were clearly most curious
'Twas an active debate
Thoughtfully done without hate
And the points made were clearly not spurious!

And so, on this subject I end
I thank all you dear Fodor Friends
There'll be no more retorts,
Just my Kauai Trip Report
Filled with all sorts of wisdom to lend!

Thanks, Everyone!!!

Very clever, Margot!

(I put too much energy into this to allow it to get buried!) ;)

A posting made by Fodorite, Margot
Was stopped with an unfair embargo.
My own little thesis
Is that chocolates of Jesus
Are not accepted by Fodors as cargo.

Oh, please let this die. Aren't three threads on this enough? Just let it go, Margot.

Starrsville - sorry - did someone force you to click on this thread? My limerick is simply meant to bring lighthearted closure to the topic - I'm sorry you're having trouble with that.

Bravo, Margot and Patrick, from a Christian who puts things like Testamints in my mental "Jesus junk" file... :-)

Hope your trip report is just as good, margot.

margot55 Mar 12th, 2005 06:18 PM

Thanks beachbum - very much enjoyed out repartee on the previous topic! Look for my trip report to be posted sometime on Monday. ((r))

Clever poem, margot!

But what is the embargo about? Both of the threads appear to be "postable."

margot55 Mar 12th, 2005 06:36 PM

I think Patrick is referring to the original thread ("After-Dinner Mints at Kauai Pasta - please comment"), in which one was unable to post a reply after a previous poster had given a long link to a web address - apparently, this is not the first time something like this has happened...

What fun...thanks for the smile.

rockhopper7 Mar 12th, 2005 06:52 PM

Thanks, margot, although I see that the margin thing for that thread went awry, I don't see how posting to the thread was impeded.

Anyway, good of you to share a funny poem to balance a contentious thread.
