Cardinals Twitter doesn't know how to make a proper spoonerism. Mrandon Boss is not a spoonerism because no one would ever accidentally say "Murr-andon."
Mandon Bross or GTFO

In the spirit of science, I feel I have to try this tomorrow.
Once at at work pot-luck, a guy put a casserole dish of tamales into the microwave for 10 or 12 minutes or something. I was in awe of someone typing such large numbers into the microwave.
I think we shut the microwave off after 5 or six minutes as they were popping and bubbling as if they were hot.

We always nuke our potatoes. Might be some minor difference in how they come out vs. the oven, but it's worth the saved time.
