Walks out muttering_…“They just don’t have the Fire (c) anymore.” \*\* You guys can kiss my little French butt. Don’t have the fire. Just 'cause I didn’t participate in your original thread killing spree, and don’t know all your little inside jokes, “I” don’t have the fire?!?! Well, psht! I’ve got your fire right here. Actually, now I’m just trying to stir up some excitement. I don’t even have the foggiest as to what “I’m” talking about, let alone you, so there… You wanna make somethin’ of it… Do ya? Punk? 😉 ---

There’s always a bar somewhere with an alley out back where the dogs are snarling over what used to be someone’s darling while the sirens turn to white noise. And someone says, “I knew it hadda end bad – I mean, Christ! the guy drove himself like a spike into the hearts of old women who believed they were ugly.” And a piano player who wonders if he’s a player piano while _The St. James Infirmary Blues_ tries to find itself on the keys and someone yells, “Shut off that noise.” And the bartender’s old lady does is an off-duty hooker. He pours her a drink and she says, "No one takes anything small home from a bar around here. Not when the moon is a sickle held to the sky’s throat. ---

Sim - I got tackled by Sim! Woo! But read the instructions…tackle the thread - look! It’s getting away! Odie…gracefully? Sorry, I came here to answer your serious question, Odie… In the original Jester threadkilling thread - here is the post (way down on the page & it doesn’t want to link to it…ho, hum…actually knish (or knisch as we also spelt it then) featured heavily on p4 originally…) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36448&postid=729637](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36448&postid=729637) and it is: [QUOTE] _Originally posted by Dire Wolf_ > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by fierra_ & what’s knisch? > > It’s made from potatoes, sort of like a squarish potato patty with a golden toasty outside.

It would be an honour to amuse a lady like you Fierra, I will however refuse to share you unless Sim asks very nicely… Yes I know that isn’t nice but the time for being nice has passed. Sorry for sitting on you on the sofa, Sskuggiii, I didn’t realize it was occupied.
