Thought I heard that Sriracha was impounded in California, awaiting inspection? Sounded so weird, it must be true...

Getting too heavy on cheese, need to re-focus on pork and not just on bacon. A simple pork burger, sriracha sauce and sauteed onions yum...

And we're letting the coffee slide. Dunkin' Donuts Hazelnut is my favorite, and would go great with this pork burger.

We need to keep this more balanced, far away from whatever that 1st post had in it. Please don't try to remind me what that was, as it could seriously derail this thread.

Anyway, I'm thinking of the pork burger dish, with coffee, specifically some Dunkin' Donuts Hazelnut. Mmm, good!!!

Not impounded.
The factory was told to halt production because the peppers were causing burning of the eyes and the respiratory track of the people in nearby community.
I asked the wife to stock up before the global shortages started to go in to effect.

How about fish? Anybody like fish?

If I buy a K-3, the Ricoh label on the back will be confusing, but does that mean that I can't shoot with my Rokinon 8mm fisheye since other almost identical lenses are labeled Samyang. I mean, won't the folk at Bower and Vivitar get upset? Too much impurity is a bad thing...I think...

...and what if I use it for something other than fish (see above). Do you see much dilemma?

I can't ever forget that, my wife has a Godzilla 'Global Destruction Tour' t-shirt to remind me.
Like a rock-concert on the back: Tokyo -Destroyed- Osaka -Destroyed- &c

...and if I miss focus (see fish above) do I have to take responsibility or can I blame Bower for the Rokinon focus issue or is it a Ricoh problem?

Obviously, you came by the PDX portion of your alias honestly.

I'll never forget the destruction of Tokyo.

Wait, which time are we talking about: Godzilla, Godzilla (again), Godzilla (yet again), one of the times with Gamera, or Akira (twice in one movie), or...

Ever notice in those movies you have lots of people standing around and pointing. If a giant manlike lizard was stomping my town, I would shoot a photo with my non Ricoh labeled camera, pack a cheese and bacon sandwich and run like Forrest!!!
