My children made me try a chocolate-covered gummy bear the other day. Now a chocolate gummy bear is not a local, sustainable or home-grown food, and frankly, I don't like gummy bears (the only good use I ever had for them was in college, where nothing would keep posters on cinder-block walls…

Damn ... now I have to upgrade to stainless steel cynicism. Have you priced the stainless?

I'd like to go for the titanium cynicism, lighter and ultra-cool when polished and rainbow heat-treated, but I'll never get it on the Lira I earn.

And congratulations for standing up when so many others ran. It isn't entirely settled but it looks like Sb/SMG and the remaining bloggers have a shot at working it out.

Might as well stick with good old cast iron cynicism.
Change to stainless or one of them newfangled cynicisms and you get nasty potential differences at the junctions and bimetallic corrosion both ways.
Unless of course you have a "sacrifical strip" of something that is easily eroded at a lower potential.
