    Um, yes, something like that.

    There's something about the tone of the article that is a little off to me. It's almost like the author is being pseudo-snarky; imitating the snarky tone of some fashion writers, but not quite getting it right... Perhaps the author is trying too hard. Ehh, it happens.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Well honestly, speaking of food, a pseudo-snark sounds like some sort of flightless game bird. Relative of the snipe, perhaps?

    I suspect you're right, tho. I also suspect most of us could out-snark that author.

    The real trick is making a good point without being snarky, so with that in mind, if I've snarked out of turn, feel free to snark right back!
