I figured you were going for barker.
I’ve heard lots of horror stories about carnival food, but I didn’t realise it involved carne. Just thinking about all the blood and gore makes me feel queasy.
I bet there was a lot of blood and gore when Hannibal of Carnage rode to war.
There was, but when he tore the carthage in his knee he was never the same warrior again.
That will be why he settled down in the town in southern Spain that is now called cartilage
(Or as I should have said it: “There was, but when he took an arrow to the knee, he was never the same warrior again as his carthage never recovered”. Gah, the missed opportunities.)
Moving on:
It’s no longer a retirement home for disabled North African veterans now - it’s moved with the times and has a modern industry. We used to use cartagena paper when I was at school.
Cartridge must be a chain of hills named after the 39th president.
Carter Ridge? That’s a town on the River Tyne is it not?
If you’re thinking of Corbridge, that’s a structural piece of stone, wood, or metal that juts from a wall and carries a superincumbent weight. There might well be some on the banks of the Tyne, but the architectural features are by no means limited to the British Isles.
I’ve never seen corbel made out of stone, wood, or metal. They’re a baked dish with a crust and featuring a fruit filling like peach or blueberry.
A cobbler? That’s just another name for a turkey, using onomatopoiea from the sound it makes.
Whenever I cook a turkey, I always boil the gobblers for stock to go in the gravy. Then I forget to throw them out until they’ve gone mouldy. :barf:
I remember growing up Mom used to drink giblets on occasion. Though she used vodka rather than gin. I’ve never heard of them being used as gravy stock, though.
I believe that you are referring to Yoda’s Gimlet stick, which he used like a cane in Empire Strikes Back.
And, of course, Bruce Banner became the Hulk after exposure to a Gimer-Ray Bomb.
I bet Banner used impeccable spelling and gamma in his scientific writings.
I’m not sure how impeccable the spelling is in Grammar, the official journalistic organ of the Cuban Communist Party’s Central Committee.
If it was good enough for my granma it’s good enough for me!
I make my own** grandma** with rolled oats, nuts, honey, and dried fruit, such as raisins and dates. I bake it until it’s crisp, but stir it to maintain a loose, breakfast cereal-type consistency.
Ah, but do you know shit from Granola?
I know some people consider Terry Brooks’s The Sword of Shinola to be a piece of shit.
