Ah yes I was there and remember only too well. You see the cyclops was initially rather excited and let them present it to the in rez folk...stayed excited right up until they intimated (by making "corrections") that he had made a couple of mistakes in his research... O'Brien: Winston!!!! How many fingers am I holding up!!!! Winston Smith: I don't know!!!! I honestly don't know!!!! O'Brien: Good! Now we're beginning to make progress. Edited for a couple of typos

Dooj you are having the same problems on this thread that I am. A lot of folks here really seem to know their movies. I watch trash or else stuff way off the beaten path. Trash is probably easy but already well covered; the other stuff ends up being not so obvious per the rules here. No doubt some folks here have watched the movie "The Professional" but what one line would you slurp out of that movie that makes it obvious what movie you were referring to?!?!?! Maybe WW and some of the other experts here secretly work for Netflix and started this thread to motivate us to watch more movies.

The other wood treatment to avoid for use in gardens is anything treated with copper arsenate. The preservative is so toxic that if you buy it in 8 foot sections there will be half a dozen warning labels stapled to it. Don't know about the U.K. but still commonly used in the U.S.

I say! Why thank you! Carlin...heh heh heh...now ya can't go wrong with Carlin

Well done crew.- remember if Geisha is recaptured they will come after us with their WayFers set on disintegrate. Have the NoFer cannons set on full.

Heh heh heh - well if some had there way it clearly would be - but thank goodness Paw ain't a group think kind of board owner.

It's OK - greed stopped the original alien invasion - it will fail again. Be careful though - if you have any of your old name tags then your thoughts are being relayed to RibbonShark and V2P2. Geisha will you please fashion some aluminum foil hats to protect us? Anyone ever note that aluminum spelled backwards sounds like a planet you'd find rich people on? Munimula...you decide...

Maybe it's his interim assignment - if he can't convert us he can't finish his second in rez year - he'll be reassigned to the horse farm cleaning out the stalls - and then making WOW burgers for dinner (sans hand washing of course) for the rest of his life - that is until kicked out for being too old. I mean, after all, nothing against horses - heck they taste just as good as beef, but it was never Cyclops' goal to train horse stall cleaners - he wanted Fortune 500 CEO's - you know - kinda like the Loud Clearly Magic Forehead. Edited to add the reference to Loud Clearly Magic Forehead

Sure did!

But, but, but, hate can keep us so warm at night!!!!

You desperately need to read Tom Robbins, "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates"...especially if you like irritating stupid people I can also highly recommend "Still Life with Woodpecker."

What? They said boiled, scalloped or French fried?

Heh - the cabbage was green money, the blackeyed peas was silver money, and I can't remember what the corned beef was for.

N.S. I promise - My daughter and I were walking through a mall - signs a) over Mervyns before they bellied up - "Now Hiring" - but under the sign - "Mervyns" Uhh - Now hiring Mervyns, Is that like now hiring Smirfs? What about blonds? What about horse lovers? b) over the pool store - "Professional grade chemicals" - uhhh - is that like pharmaceutical grade LSD?

Dooj and Geisha sitting in a tree...K.I.S... oh never mind wrong playground. And Rascal thinks I am sick? Geez ladies. Geisha sure hope you and your husband like crawfish and softshelled crab.

Love ya babe

"Can we limit our comments to our opinions to the subject at hand rather than why one anothers points or opinions should be invalidated?" So why did you post your additional BS above Rascal? Call it a even - well except that TaeKwonDo always kicks Karate butt - now go back to you regularly scheduled program - and if you want to call me "STUPID" again do it in a PM wench.

Close but... when I was in rez we were told to read these three books, The Myth of the Six Million (which would agree with what you posted - a delta in the numbers), The Hoax of the Twentieth Century - which did indeed try to dispel the whole thing, and The Thirteenth Tribe - which had nothing to do with WWII - just tried to prove that there are no more Jewish people left

Geezus WS I was just thinking about an afternoon marguerita and you bring up fig pep? Isn't that like bringing your own turds to the local sports bar?

Heh heh heh - I bet not too many people argue with you

Naw her reputation won't suffer. She really is a nice person in RL...well she was 25 years ago anyway. For all of her occasional Sister Linda Theresa can't we all be friends kind of thing there really is nothing you can do to tarnish her reputation. If there is anyone on GSC who is still clean - it's probably LindaZ. ...now (rubbing hands together with evil grin on face)...what bad things can I say about Linda Z...

...and worth at least $10.00...

Points made and taken Shellon - thank you very much for your input.

Another Charleston staple was stewed tomatoes and okra served over white rice. I never quite caught on to that, but I did make some passable Hoppin' John for New Year's day one time. Substitute corn for okra if you are not an okra fan - perfectly fine dish. The above from a post by WG and my brief response on the garden thread. Got me thinking about some corn recipes, tomato recipes, etc. So...I got to thinking about a great Louisiana recipe with corn and tomatoes called Maque Choux. Now Louisiana cooks will swear to you that every recipe for maque choux is different - you know - that home trade secret that all moms seem to have. Fact is that this basic recipe is easy and quite serviceable. 6 ears young corn or white corn 1 cup chopped onions 8 cloves chopped garlic 1/2 to 1 cup chopped bell peppers (according to taste) 1 cup chopped and seeded tomatoes (substituting canned tomatoes is fine) 1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste) 1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste) 1/2 cup milk 2 tsp oil (do not overdo the oil) Cut the corn off the cob with a very sharp paring knife - slice across the tops of the kernels - scrape across to get the "milk" out of the corn, slice again Heat oil over medium to medium high heat Add onions, bell pepper, garlic and seasoning - cook for about 5 minutes until wilted Add corn, cook another ten minutes Add tomatoes and cook another 15-20 minutes stirring occasionaly until corn is tender Add millk, stir and serve Make four large servings, six regular servings.
