I dug around on my hard drive and found a copy of it in an old mailing list archive....



hahaha, thanks for sharing that Dewguy, as soon as I read "the waitress replied two-fifty" I knew exactly what was coming lol.
I would try the recipe but afraid I can't as I have food allergies. Thanks again! It was a good laugh.

An expensive holiday season for me. Bought MBA 13" stand config last month, then the Mac Pro 2.8 Quad this month along with Mcally enclosure for external backup drive.

I'm leaving PC desktop and laptop world into Apple. I have always built my PC ever since my first one when it was still running 386 CPU until my latest one AMD X3 triple core. There is just something about the Mac Pro that I had to justify to have it even though it cost almost 3x time as building one myself.

I'm embarrassed to say this but I've been a super big fan of British boyband Take That a little after they've started out (which is around 1992). :eek: It sucks that they are never able to make it over in the U.S. market or I would have gone to watch them perform if they toured the U.S. :p

Anyway, I just pre-ordered their new album Progress (exclusive boxset from their online store):

By the way, is any fellow MacRumors member a Take That fan like I am? :confused:

I copied the recipe too. Thanks DewGuy1999. :D

Your credit card company wouldn't help you out?:confused:

I didn't think that it was actually DewGuy that had that situation happen to. I thought it was just passed to him. Now im confused because I didn't want to make fun of DewGuy:eek:

Have fun!!! This is *not* a joke --- this is a true story..[/I]

Hah, wonder if it's true...I feel like I read this before somewhere, but the name of the department store was different.

Lets see, to continue with a few posts today, I got Inception, and also added the Shrek series. I also received a few orders from when I placed them on black friday. I got: Home Alone 1/2, Eraser, I am Legend, Hancock, Walking Tall and Collateral Damage

Ah yes.... you're right. :p

That's what I get for skimming!

Whew!:D

I wonder how old it is also. Or maybe I just missed the circulation.

I don't remember ever seeing it either.

But then again, I just started with the email last Tuesday.;)

:confused: This DID NOT happen to me. I don't think it actually happened to anyone. It's one of those old things that got circulated around and around back in the early days of email. I checked the message that was in the mail list archive I found it in and it was dated Mon, 09 Dec 1996, but probably goes back even further than that.

Really? I'm 18, I've been using email since 2002 and yet I have seen it. It was a french translation, IIRC, but I'm sure I have read this before.

So you're saying this happened to you?

Do you mean did I receive the email about the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe? Yes, I did receive the email, but I'm NOT the person in the email that describes buying the recipe. My only part in this entire thing is posting the message that I received in 1996, nothing more...

Wal*Mart actually had one copy left with a t-shirt included, but I figured it was probably a large anyways so I opted for the regular blu-ray.

I think you missed my sarcasm. You couldn't be any clearer in that post. :p


To stay on topic, I bought a few more threadless t-shirts:
