I had a great time, and I think everyone else did too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom picked me up from Indianapolis pretty early, and we did a little bit of a tour of the area on the way out. It was a nice relaxing day, with a bunch of people showing up, many of whom I remembered from last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to try ‘proper’ biscuits and gravy, and I now understand why people said that the ones I tried at the JW Marriott didn’t count; It’s because they don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Pickled Onion Monster Munch – What The Actual Hell, These Are Awful, Why Doesn’t The Taste Go Away?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It’s been suggested that the Pickled Onion Monster Munch was a gag by my friends. If so, then it’s a spectacular one, and I appreciate and am in awe of the effort, because they got my line manager, who is based in a different office 400+ km away, in on the act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    OK, I’m actually hoping it WAS a gag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
