This was the lede for the NWMonday section of the now VERY lame Seattle Times newspaper (the print version, that is. I still know folks who work on the Web site, which I find to be informative and easy to navigate and nice job all you NM folks):

No comment on whether I am a taster or not. But now I’ve got to think twice before digging in to the next potluck. Thanks, anal retentive eaters. Thanks a lot.
