[Blindtlk] Question about eating in public

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Actually, I may get in trouble for saying this, but I'm a little more 
barbaric.  I usually will, even with a bowl, not just a cup, even if at a 
restaurant not at home, drink it down the hatch, veggies, meat, and all.

O, kayyy, I don't sit here and slirp it.  I'm not that disruptive, I do it 
very quietly, but yeah.  It's gonna be really hard with a spoon, as you 
can't really very easily get the liquid to stay on the spoon.  Trust me, I 
should know.  Which leads me to a question I! actually have.  I'll post it 
though in a new thread.

Chris.
