			Food - Pizza, everybody loves pizza (or, one of my casseroles). 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Garment - a comfy t-shirt, who wants to hang around in a closet all the time? Appliance - oven. Room - kitchen, good things happen in kitchens (or one of your quieter tap rooms). Illness - tonsillitis, maybe. I don't want to kill people. Not most of the time, anyway. ![]() War - War on drugs. C'mon, now, who's surprised by this one?

			Food - the humble potato. Plain but versatile Garment - Rocket Dog biker boots - because they're sturdy and very, very cool Appliance - kettle. If in doubt, make tea. Room - bedroom, duh Illness - Multiple Sclerosis. Every day's a surprise War - The War of Jenkin's Ear (1739-1748). Just for the name.

			Having read DanaC's post, I think that I will also choose a kettle for the appliance category. 
		
		
		
			After all, what goes better with a bacon sandwich than a cuppa?

	Food: Soylent Green. It's people! So it's me! Garment: Sweatpants. The general public sees it but doesn't want to, considers it too loose and casual Appliance: Dryer. Takes a lot of energy; basically sits in the corner and quivers. Room: Panic room. Duh Illness: Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Duh War: US Civil War: In the end I'll be fine, and whole, but at what cost? Optimistic Food: Tanzanian peaberry coffee; Uncommon, strong, and probably even good for you Garment: Mormon underwear. Underneath it all, I'm magic and sacred. Appliance: Stick blender. It's surprisingly powerful. Room: The war room. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! Illness: Post-nasal drip. You think it's funny but it's snot War: Iraq 1. Generally considered useful and a good idea.  |
