How about a package of peanut butter kandy kakes for another hundred, and a kandybar kake or two....Might as well blow a quick $400 or $500 while I am at it. 
Oh, and evetS....still on the same giant-pic page here.

Well, let me make sure the big-photo-poster gets the benefit of scrolling way, way, way, way, way over to the right to read my sentence all the way to the bitter end, in order to establish not only that fact that it's quite an impressive run-on sentence, but also the gradual realization that, despite the incredible QUANTITY of words in this single sentence, the quality is somewhat lacking, giving one a distinct letdown once the bitter end is finally reached.

Let me interrupt this snackgasm for a short Engrish story: Anecdote #1. Last week I am at a client site who coincidentally has not one, but two large flatbread manufacturing lines bound for Poland in final assembly. EU guidelines require that all warning labels that are not clear picto-icons be in the target country's primary language. Having been bit by translating issues in the past, the sales rep for line #1 had cleverly negotiated with the customer to provide translating services for all the necessary labels. When I asked if they were going to leverage the translations from line #1 into the line #2 labels, I got this blank stare (with an AHA moment deep behind the eyes). Of course, they would have to do some basic checking, he explains, to make sure there were no company-names references imbedded (which could be quite embarrassing). And they were DEFINITELY not going to use any "free online" translating programs to check this. After which he relates... Anecdote #2. One of the company's first entries into the foreign marketplace was a line destined for the Netherlands. Nevermind that fact that everyone in the Netherlands speaks English in addition to Dutch, and nevermind that the line was probably going to be run by immigrants from the Baltic states (and who speak neither Dutch nor English). The labels HAD to be in Dutch as well as English. "Lets just use an online translator" they said. Instructions on how and where to place the dough balls resulted in literal Dutch labels advising the same action for the "dough testicles".

I was searching thru some long-ago posts in this thread for link to articles about the penguin that landed ashore in New Zealand back in 2011 since I knew we discussed it here. Boy did I find some unfamiliar smilies yet I made them!

In a bizarre bit of synchronicity, TODAY I was looking through some old word processing documents and came across the write-up I did for the Marine Corps museum, detailing the repairs I did on that A-100.
In an even more amazing bit of synchronicity, I have used both the letter A and the number 100 in this very thread tonight !
