» Pinky102 - Tashlich

On the first day of Rosh Hashanah there is a ceremony called Tashlich. Jews
traditionally go to the ocean, a stream or river to pray and throw bread
crumbs into the water. Symbolically, the fish devour their sins. Occasionally
people ask what kind of bread crumbs should be thrown. Here are suggestions for
breads which may be most appropriate for
specific sins and misbehaviors.

For ordinary sins.....................White Bread
For erotic sins.........................French Bread
For particularly dark sins..........Pumpernickel
For complex sins.....................Multigrain
For twisted sins.......................Pretzels
For tasteless sins....................Rice Cakes
For sins of indecision...............Waffles
For sins committed in haste.....Matzoth
For sins of chutzpah................Fresh Bread
For substance abuse...............Stoned Wheat
For use of heavy drugs.............Poppy Seed
For petty larceny.....................Stollen
For committing auto theft.........Caraway
For timidity/cowardice..............Milk Toast
For ill-temperedness................Sourdough
For silliness, eccentricity.........Nut Bread
For not giving full value.............Shortbread
For jingoism, chauvinism..........Yankee Doodles
For excessive irony..................Rye Bread
For unnecessary chances........Hero Bread
For war-mongering...................Kaiser Rolls
For dressing immodestly..........Tarts
For causing injury to others......Tortes
For lechery and promiscuity.....Hot Buns
For promiscuity with gentiles....Hot Cross Buns
For racist attitudes..................Crackers
For sophisticated racism..........Ritz Crackers
For being holier than thou.........Bagels
For abrasiveness.....................Grits
For dropping in without notice...Popovers

I don't think Phil grasps what Suite management (VanTeam) has done... I feel your answer is the perfect response. It goes to show how the new comer pushes aside all those who made Suite what it is today, while praising the VanTeam for doing something special, at the expense and back stabbing of all those they used to achieve their hidden purpose...

but - thats 'Liberalism' at its finest showing...

No, not a bottle. Chartreuse is a variable color of yellow/green.
