Phew! I'm glad I left it inside quotation marks! That sure isn't a fatalistic "reaction". :rotfl: Complaint noted. I call the quotation marks in my defense, let's say that I meant to say barely, only in appearance but not in reality at all.

I apologize.

Hmmmm, why do you bring this up? Is it really about Bhuddism? You don't intend to imply that the popcorn is not real, do you?
