I certainly hope squash loses out. I am not a big fan of squash. Or eggplant.

I grew some eggplant this year. Not a fan. Raw squash in a salad is good. Cook it bake it, etc, and it is like baby food. Nope!

reading the article though made me sicker than eating a squash and an eggplant. they "might" let wrestling back in after "sweeping" changes. That is spin. Making the sport more "fair"? Again spin. If making the sport more exciting than squash is the determination, then why in the world did it get removed in the first place?

Pretty sickening/sickly. I've head this spin over and over and I get a little more pssed every time.

I've noticed I like more veggies raw than cooked. never had raw squash, though. have to try it.

Good to see you posting, Mark.

If wrestling gets reinstated, will they finally give it fair media coverage? Its low ratings have more to do with that than any other issue.
