The Slice: This right just doesn’t feel right

No need to mention names.

But there are drivers who have lived in Spokane for more than 20 years who still get confused in Coeur d’Alene about the timing of one particular get-over-to-right maneuver required to get on Interstate 90.

Part of this complete breakfast: “I went on a hike with my family in Idaho and my mother took a water bottle out of my uncle’s pack to use for pancakes,” wrote Heather Kennison.

The resulting hotcakes didn’t taste quite right, though.

Turned out it wasn’t water in that bottle. It was gin.

Speaking of flavor issues: “My divorced dad took care of us on weekends,” wrote Lorelei Plagman. “I had a fever but wasn’t good at swallowing pills and told him mom always put them in spoonful of jam. He didn’t have jam, so he put it in a spoonful of sugar. Only he had salt in his sugar canister.

“My symptoms became much worse when I tried to swallow a bitter aspirin in a spoonful of salt. He got to clean the hallway and bathroom as a bonus.”

An eating contest Spokane could host: “WSU’s Cougar Gold Cheese would be fairly entertaining,” wrote Tim Osborn.

Perhaps a local winery could sponsor the competition. Or a hospital.

Maybe it would become the world’s largest cheese-eating contest. There could be T-shirts.

Participants and spectators could be called Cheesies or Cheezets.

“Are you doing Cheesefest this year?”

“I don’t know. Last year I was seated near that contestant who exploded and my hair still smells like whey.”

What delivering pizzas taught me about life: “College was definitely going to be a good idea,” said Kevin Dudley.

Alternative to the water-guzzling turf lawn: Total takeover of the lawn by a model railroading layout designed to resemble the Chicago train yards.

Warm-up question: Do co-workers who share a small restroom at the office eventually need to have the asparagus conversation?
