    You had me look up "mets". Best I got was the baseball team. Help me out here.

Sorry. Blame my midwest regional terms. Mets are like, you know, bratwurst and hot dogs and stuff. I mean here, they thick like Bratwurst but they’re not bratwurst, tend to be 100% beef, very little if any spices. They’re dense. They’re greasy. They’re delicious. You can dress one up on a bun like a Reuben sandwich and you’re in junk food heaven.

You should, if ever given the chance, play with microfilm. It’s so much fun in ways I can’t describe. Either way though, you guys put your newspapers to good use. We tended to use them, along with other things, as firestarters.
