Damn Yankees kill another Southern institution: White Lily flour

To get us back on track:

Yes, Smuckers (Yankees?) bought White Lily. But in order for them to have bought it, the Southerners *who owned it had to sell (out) their own company. Orual was correct. In order for their to be a buyer, there must be a seller and the seller is just as responsible. If keeping the product the same was important to the sellers, then they could have put that in the contract. *Obviously,money was far more important than their own product legacy.

To Jodi:

I most definitely owe you an apology or two or three, I’ll let you choose the comments. I got a bit overheated and caught up in the moment and went too far- this said as explanation not as excuse- and was significantly assholish beyond anything called for. My sincere apologies and an equally sincere retraction of between roughly 40% to 65% of the vitriol dependent upon the particular statement; I’ll admit I probably meant them when typing but not anymore and I regret having done so.

Are you allowed to apologize in the Pit?

Thank you. I in turn apologize for anything I might have said that offended you. It was my intention to return proportional fire, but it was not my intention to say anything you would consider beyond the pale.

Should we sing the national anthem now, forget this whole thing ever happened, and go back to fighting the terrorists? (worked so much better when the bad guys were the Soviets)

Yeah, hey, look. I’m sorry for calling you a threadshitting bitch. It was beyond the pale and inappropriate. I’ve managed to go 8 years here without ever getting into a dust-up with you, Jodi, and I let myself get carried away. I apologize.

Group hug! :smiley:

you can still fuck right the fuck off.

:wink:

I wonder who I’d have to pay to get a rebel flag emoticon added.

And I’m sorry for calling you . . . uh . . . whatever I called you. (No need to refresh either of our memories, right?) I’m sorry my first post caused such umbrage; it honestly wasn’t intended to.

Cool, now who’s got a killer recipe with WL they wanna share?
Rebel flag emoticon… bwha!

Killer…as in arsenic? :wink:

I keed, I keed. I love all you crazy people.

Yep the Soviets were good, but nothing was better than the Nazis. There was an enemy that could really unify the country.

Yeah, but they were right to cancel the war when they did. They’d done all they could do with it (and FDR/Hitler dying the same month was just lame on the part of the writers, but I understand FDR wanted a ridiculous new contract so they had to write him out). Plus the Nazis had gotten just cartoonishly unbelievably bad by the time the show ended.

Agreed that the Soviets were good though. They were totally the Klingons to the lame Ferengi of the Muslims.

:smiley:

That might be the most humorous reply to such a truly dark subject I have ever seen. Well played sir, well played.

You know who made a good enemy? The Confede…err, never mind.

Maybe Top Secret Recipes could help? They don’t usually do things like flour and that, but you could always contact them and see if there’s anything similiar they’d reccomend.

Note that the gracious Southerners apologized before the damn fucking yankee.

Wow, are you ever late. Party’s over, dude.
