Edit ... oops, forgot. "And that's why I'm not getting a K-3 !"

I have an annoying aversion against these things - slugs, grubs, insects, all perfectly good food, but irrationality keeps me from trying.

No way I can think of buying a K-3 now

I'm looking at you. Ever since your confession, the following has occurred:

Aurora borealal events are at the top of the NOAA scale for the past week.
The sun has disappeared for days on end.
The world I knew has turned cold and white.
Massive Icebergs have surrounded our island.
Birds both small and large appear to be fleeing in frenzied flight.
All air traffic was cancelled today due to fog, sleet, freezing drizzle and at least three inches of partly cloudy.
According to my apps, the moon has disappeared completely. Don't know, can't see for the overcast.
Neighboring dogs are barking all night and all day.

In short, it is quite apparent that the world has stopped in its orbit, a new ice age is upon us AND YOU MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!

Ya.ya, tell the Canadians last... we're used to it.

Oh you Yanks! Always funning' around with new toys.

Sounds like H**l did freeze over, especially since the evil hociR empire is actually making a profit! All bad weather will now be blamed on increased market share!

One should think you, of all people, knew the Yanks by now. And yet you blame a poor European first

That is definitely a reason for not getting another K-3!

Anyone from a jurisdiction that recognises the corn dog as the state bird ought not to talk about H**L. How'd ya like us to send down another Polar Vortex again this year?

Bring on the Vortex! Everything is so calm and white at -30F. Road rage fades away, simple pleasures replace frenzy.
