That’s a relief. I worried it was something I’d said.

That was late 90s. Beer and spaghetti were both on the McD menu in 1999. Good times.

Ever had skyline chili out of Cincinnati? It’s spaghetti with chili and cheese on top, it should come with a roll of toilet paper. The worst.

I have not. But most foods have a similar effect on me so I carry my own toilet paper.
