Mike, thanks for explaining it. I was about to twist off.

Coasters. Yep. I've still got 6 box of coasters sitting in Josh's old closet. I was about to offer the slimeballs a good deal on a case. I'm kidding, of course. It requires such effort to get something for nothing. They need to get a real job.

"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
