Somebody is in a bad mood, that's how it starts. They try to push buttons, inciting personal attacks. If third parties don't intercede, the discussion gets messy quick.
Take last night. Ollie is upset about something-you could see that from his expression and fidgeting. He states artichokes are an overrated food staple, knowing Joe was a big artichoke guy. Joe defends his food, pointing out all the benefits of them. Howard proclaims they are a racist food grown by plantation owners. Joe gets all huffy and demands Howard apologize. Debbie says Canada has no artichokes. Carl adds that salmon poisoning is rampant. Carol pales and faints because she has salmon four times a week. Ellen now has to perform CPR on Carol because she is the host.
Mary opines that tomatoes are the most amazing food, all things considered. Debbie informs us Canada does indeed have tomatoes. Bill comes in late, explaining he had to pick up artichokes for his anniversary and his wife loves them. Howard calls Bill an Uncle Tom. They grapple on the floor, accidentally stepping on Candy's windpipe, reviving her. Ellen is happy she doesn't have to perform CPR.
Ollie sits there with a big smile on his face.
