YEAH!
Time to go racing, again.
I am looking forward to the season but will probably pass up on the TV commentary/announcers.

How's about some grillin'....
I could use some rib and cole slaw action!
DONE!

Danica on the pole??? - what a shocker that was. :eek:
Ribs and slaw - sounds like a plan. What's to wash it down that would be good - other than beer which I don't do!
How's about a pomegranate lemonade?Quote:

OOOHHHH!!! Ribs, cole slaw, and a root beer!!! Just the thing!!! Gives me hope that winter won't last forever after all. :love:
Pomegranate lemonade sounds like it would be good with....barkeep, you can finish this one! ;)
Ribs and slaw sound good, too! I'm in a rather good mood - got the chance to see a friend in the hospital today who has literally come back from hell. It was great to see him sitting up. Good day! :)
Hi, gang! This is my first visit here. Anything I need to know about joining in?
Pomegranate lemonade.. yum, sounds good! intriguing, anyway.
I don't eat meat, so I'll have lots of slaw.
Cheers!
Pat, without cats
Welcome, Pat! Our Barkeep will fill you in when he ambles back in...I think there's something about a joke as an entrance fee. I can't remember. Anyway - enjoy!Quote:

Thank you, Maggie!
Yes, Pat - the first visit to Thursdays requires you tell one (clean) joke!
I am currently drinking some odd stuff - it's a hot-chocolate/chai combination. Interesting, dunno whether I like it for sure, but I bought a whole tin of it, so will use it up regardless! Anyone want some?
Ribs and slaw sound good, how about some fries to go with and a beer to wash it down with?
First person to mention DW's catch phrase gets a plate of dinner in the puss from Orc.
Okay, let me see what I can come up with..Quote:

I was shocked, they were racing the modifieds on the backstretch at Daytona! Glad to see Steve Park running in that series and doing well. He had a promising career in Cup, cut short by an accident. The first time I ever saw him run in a race live he took all three features.
Chilly and gloomy here today with rain moving in later - not exactly good grillin' weather! I made a pot of corn chowder this morning - anyone care for some with crusty Italian bread with real butter? :)
Why would you have bread with 'un'real butter??Quote:

We still have a few inches of sleet left over from Q. Now we are to have 3 to 9 maybe 12 inches of snow. It's been snowing super hard all afternoon. Looks like I won't get out until May at this rate. :( :love:
Whew,
I gotta put one of those Old Brooklyn Lanterns in the lost and found.....
https://www.oldebrooklynlantern.com/...LB-bing-OBL-TM
-----------------
I missed most of the week in there.....
I have to boil some water, serve some BBQ, get a clean joke, smile about Mark Martin's finish, laugh about the coverage and ??????????
Another storm is coming down the pike - how do I know this? Ed has been stopping in front of the heater and almost resting against it!!!!!:o
Done?
I haven't come up with a good joke, let alone a clean good one, since I dropped in last week..
Here is a little anecdote from my college days.. perhaps this might do? -
Back 1,000 years ago when I was a college freshman (freshperson these PC days now?) .. the very first class I went to was a history class, in huge lecture hall with the professor at a podium up front. On that first day he gave us a little insight into life in academia and those who pursue it as a career choice:
"You all know what B.S. is .. well, M.S. is More of the Same.. and PH.D. is Piled Higher and Deeper!"
(I apologize if this is still a bit ...off-color? for the requirements?
I got spam for those contraptions long before I had any clue what they were! And if one is going to get an LED lamp, why burden it with all the extra metal to make it look "olde" - ain't that contrary to the environmentally friendly and cost-saving point?Quote:

Not to mention that most reviews indicate that it's a piece of junk! Cute - but junk all the same! :(Quote:

anyone?
Welcome Phesina! We haven't had anyone new pass their "bar exam" in awhile.:D
Thank you, Smokey! Glad to be here!
And another fine member is added to the Thursday Bar......................Welcome - your joke was good too.
Yes - welcome Pat. Hopefully Orc will be on his best behavior (whatever that is :rolleyes: :eek: ) - for a while anyway. It would be a shame to scare you off! Maybe the barkeep can just lock him in L&F for a while. :D
Thanks, Gini and Ellie! And I'm looking forward to seeing whatever Orc is.
I'm glad you liked the joke, Gini. I bet that professor hauled that out for every class of first-time students. It helped demystify the university world for the 300 or so newly-minted freshies including me in that lecture hall that day!
I get the idea that line is well known in the graduate student world. I pet-sit on occasion for a grad student in mathematics here at the University of Michigan, and she has a paperback book entitled "Piled Higher and Deeper," full of grad-student cartoons.
Let's just say that Orc is the resident troublemaker.
Hey barkeep. Do you have a picture of Orc so Pat can see what the little devil looks like - or has he destroyed all the cameras too? :rolleyes:
Yes to both the tea and the pancakes, please! I've got some maple syrup ....
As for the Orc - it is a species of underworldly character from the J.R.R. Tolkein books - here's a statue of one from the Lord of the Rings movies:

Just to ease concerns about the Orc....
He responds to command from a remote control collar. The only problems that REALLY come in is when David lets him have his own remote. :eek:
Oh myyyyy......
