Ah, shucks, earthpuppy, ya made me blush.

Ashes x 2, on the other side, seems wantin’ ta git on me bad side. Arrr, make me into a pirate, have ya? I be seen in a puffy pirate shirt, but no stripes for me, matey, I’m wide as the horizon on me own, thanky. And as for sharks, don’'t you be knowing that a shark’ll never bite a lawyer? Professional courtesy, and all. but talking like a pirate day has done and over, and Johnny Depp and the Good Captain Jack haven’t yet set sail, so wit a last ahoy and avast, I put aside this lingo for a while.

*What do you do with a drunken pirate?
What do you do with a drunken pirate?
What do you do with a drunken pirate,
Erlie in the morning?

Put her in bed with Johnny Depp,
Put her in bed with Johnny Depp,
Put her in bed with Johnny Depp,
And never mind the rocking!*

:smiley:

Isn’t it nice to have some fig soap earthpup? Now you know if your figs ever get dirty, you have just the thing to clean them up with.

You’re so right Ashes[sup]2[/sup], Stick would want his end to be that way. He could be a help even after the Tragic Demise. And that’s ol’ Stick if anything is, a helper.

So, Tupug if I decide to go to this “clothing optional” campground for gay folks which I’ve never been to and am not going to the weekend after my bday (dang viscious rumors!) and for which I have only seen a sign, yeah, that’s right I just saw a sign, didn’t go there last month at all, do I tell em you sent me? :smiley:

jay-c awwwwwwwwww… Chalie’s just cuter than a button, but you’re right. He’d hardly be a mouthful. Rue needs to talk with you. See, he’s been wanting some chitlins and 'shine and it looks like you might be a little closer than me to him. Rabbit is better than 'possum, but I like 'possum better than squirrel personally. So for me it’s rabbit, ‘possum, then squirrel. Fried chitlins are better than boiled ones too. I’m glad the commerative mug is gettin’ some good use. Bet your co-workers are all jealous over it. Beer and web designing just seem to go together somehow. If you want, I can have a talk with your boss.

Kalley BWAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAA!!!

earthpuppy so glad you kept Bumba entertained. I’m sure he’s missing all this fine conversation about buttless chaps, drunk 'possums, and vulture roadkill towers.

Ashes[sup]2[/sup] I don’t know who David Sedaris is, so I don’t know if I am insulted or not. I might google him to see or not. Who knows with me.

Everybody else… (’’’’) (’’’’). That’s bear paws waving at y’all.

Sprinkler guy has his crew out putting in my sprinkler system. They started yesterday afternoon. YAY! Sprinkler guy (he’s kinda burly. woof!) said they could be finished today if it doesn’t rain, which it prolly will this afternoon. I was afraid my yards would be all dug up, but they just dig little trenches, so it doesn’t look so bad. YAY!

Oh and this is for Ex. A friend made dinner for me last night. He fried chicken. It was good. Almost as good as my fried chicken.

Bastard.

And chitterlings are disgusting.

45

Sure, Swampy, iffen you want to see a lot of nekit dudes scratching their…er…heads. Unfortunately, AANR isn’t one of my team’s clients. OTOH if you were to want to visit Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show down thisa way (where clothing isn’t optional and chaps are rampant), I could hook ya up. :slight_smile:

Taters, picky ol Tupug just wants to say that possums are marsupials with fiddy sumpin omnivorian teefs and definitely not mammalian rodents what has chisel teefs. I’m just sayin… :wink:

46

We shoulda used this title instead of Dopestock for the Southeastern dope fest. :smiley: I have just got to know. What does this soiree encompass exactly?

I just had a discussion with a supplier about male and female velcro strips. Could work get any weirder than that? :eek: Plus I’m still searching for a reasonably priced air driven rivet press. Oh well, at least staff are acting right. Payday is tomorrow and I ain’t signed checks yet.

47

I’m hungry. Somebody go make me a sandwich.

48

Maybe my friend’s got some fried chicken leftover from last night. I’ll go ask. :stuck_out_tongue:

49

Way’ull, take a passel of folks (mostly gramps, grans, and younguns) and put half of them on one side of a big ol arena with a dirt floor (only its sand cause this IS Fladuh afterall) and they is on the North. Put the other half on the other side of the arena and they is on the South. Then ya serve em up a big ol barbacue and no booze and make em watch people dance and sing and chase buffler and piglets and ride trick horses and ostriches and pretend fight like they is Yankees and Rebs and a good time is had by all…well as much fun as you can have without beer anyway…which may be changing soon here seein as O-Town is the mecca of all evil and they want to compete for the almighty tourist dollars. Clear as mud? :slight_smile:

But where does Dolly Parton come in? Does she pig rassle? Do participants dress up like her? I’m still all confused like Tupug. You live in Orlando?

51

I’m trying to decide if I’d rather see Dolly Parton rassle a pig, or Dolly Parton on an ostrich. Pig rassling may be funnier, but then there’s this image of an ostrich head completely surrounded by Ms. Parton’s, um, assets as it were . . . :wink:

Could one of you explain the differences in regional BBQ for me? We got Texas BBQ, Memphis BBQ, Chicago BBQ, Southern BBQ, I even saw a Mexican BBQ. All I really need to know is which ones have the drippy, gooey sauce (which I will avoid, thank you very much), and which ones have the great, kinda buried deep flavors but still tastes like chicken or beef or pork?

See, in my experience, if you do something to whatever it is you’re cooking to completely cover or eliminate the flavor of the original piece of food, you don’t need to be eating the food. Just saying.

52

Dolly only came to the Grand Opening. So did Al Roker from the Today show. They watched the ostrich race but there was a crack up and feathers went flying! Great publicity, don’tcha think? Then Al interviewed Dolly about the dinner show and then Dolly sang an original finale song while all the trick riders twirled round the arena floor on horses lit up like Xmas trees. Now, they just show a videotape of Dolly’s song but the horses and riders are still real and still lit up. Oh, yeah, and the show people mostly dress like cow folk or Union and Confederate sojurs.

Kalley, you’ud like Dolly’s barbacue. You get get a nice smokey little chicken (no sauce) and some slabs of smokey pork (no sauce). You also get soup and taters (not our Taters, but like Texas fries) and buttered corn on the cob and a desert.

53

Oh Kalley the sauce enhance the flavor of the meat. BBQ without the sauce is just smoked meat. It could be hickory smoked, mesquite smoked, various wood smoked (apple and pecan are particularly yummy) or just plain smoked. Southern BBQ is traditionally pork with a spicy, zesty, tomatoey sauce. Well, IMO, that’s how the sauce should be.

Don’t know bout y’all but I ain’t pig, buffalo or ostrich wrasslin’ without some beer first. Dolly might well enjoy that sober, but not me. So There Dolly! :stuck_out_tongue:

I really enjoy the southern, spicey, zesty, tomatoey kinda sauce too. Yum.

In other news, I got engaged over the weekend. gulp. I guess I’m feeling like this :smiley: and like this :eek: all at the same time. Feel free to mock, give advice, or point and laugh at me. I haven’t told my parents yet, because when my brother called to tell them way back when he got engaged, the conversation went something like this:

Bro: Hi Dad
Dad: Hi.
Bro: Guess what?
Dad: What.
Bro: I’m engaged!
Dad: In what?

Yeah, my Dad’s a real funny guy. I guess I’ll call them tonight.

55

Yay! Congratulations lightingtool!

Got any single brothers or friends?? It seems you all are biting the dust before I can meet you and sweep you off your feet!

56

WOOHOO!!!

Congrats lightingtool! So how’d you manage to snag her? :smiley:

57

Congrats lightningtool! Don’t worry about :smiley: and :eek:! It comes with the territory.

58

That’s lightingtool :smack:

59

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Many, many, many best wishes to you and your beloved, lightingtool, I’m sure you really light up her life. :smiley: (Really, you expected something like that from me, didn’t you? It wouldn’t have been right for me to disappoint you all.)

As for any single brothers, just remember scout, that I have dibs on any brawny ones.

I still think I’m leaning towards a dry rub BBQ. What style is that?

60

Congratulations, lightingtool!!! I’m so happy for you! Will this be this year, or next? Big wedding, or small? Yippiee, a MMP Doper Wedding!

Kallessa, if you’re enterprising, you can look up a Southern thread that was active a week or so ago. Swampy and I both checked in on the barbecue/grits/cornbread issue. Here in Kentucky we like it smoked with a vinegary sauce poured over at the table. In Western Kentucky they have traditionally preferred mutton barbecue, though pork is pretty popular. I think Kentucky bbq is similar to the way they do it in North Carolina, if I read the thread correctly.

That said, I’m mostly vegetarian, but I have eaten barbecue. A couple times in recent weeks, even. I blame it on bizarre pregnancy cravings. :smiley:
