This window into the inner thoughts of DBJ is a real treat and I miss seeing you in person. Keep up the good work. I am having trouble reading your blog without busting out laughing in the office.

My first thought from your first post on slurp was whether or not you needed the preposition to use it. Your quote was "slurp on", but you proceeded to use slurp on its own. Thoughts? Excellent.
