Until I graduated from college and moved from Pittsburgh to Baltimore, what I drank was pop. I didn't start drinking soda until I came here. People in other parts of the country drink "Soda Pop," too. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.
