I have a friend who orders a large fries with his meals and then saves them for dessert. No ice cream. No hot fudge. Fries - sans ketchup, no less.

We cannot forget that hallowed, but small, group of people who open the top of their ketchup packet and dip the fries in said packet, to avoid any kind of ketchup-spreading (of which, sadly, I am not one).

Yeah! I like mine covered with melted mozerella and mild cheddar cheese, with ranch dressing on the side! You can feel your arteries clog! Just like shooting up with pure lard! I remain, -Yrs. in Fear & Loathing, E. Lloyd Olson, Esq.
PS. Only $3.00 for a huge basket of cheese fries at Perkins, and they will serve me even if I come in at 2:00 am (which I know is nothing for most of you, but if you live in Montana, 24 hr. service is pretty nice).

Damn, she's so close, but... Sorry, you got the UK version.
For some reason, people in New Zealand (the real people mentioned above) tend to use the word 'chips' for both 'fries' and 'crisps'. Context is left to determine which one you mean...

My *real* person is Brit...well, he's Scottish but he'd rather think of himself as Brit. Oh yeah, one more thing - popovers are "almost" Yorkshire pudding.

Actually, you don't have to head south for stunningly wonderful cream gravy -- at least, for now, you just have to go to the Cottonwood Cafe on Bleecker south of 8th in the Village.

My dear wife! I am shocked, nay, shocked and stunned that you might take my remark awry! You are a _most_ compelling reason to live in the South. You are a particularly compelling reason to live in Durham (which was suggested the other day as a good place for me to move, btw, by a complete stranger to the net).
You topped by cream gravy is an, um, er, never mind.

I think we need another Tboink. And soon. We must find out how cream gravy compares to various kinds of chocolate and fudge toppings or bottomings or something.

Or maybe she justs thinks there should be a second Diamond.
If thats the case, I'll second that.
