Thursday #477. This Thursday will go on!

[RICHARD]

Or the "Unsinkable Thursday Brown".

I think we should have a Titanic party this week.......

-----------------------

I'll spool up "A Night to Remember".

That is the Ultimate Titanic Movie.

The james cameron spoof was a direct rip-off of that flick.

------------------------

The DOTD is an Iceberg..


1 oz white creme de menthe
1/2 oz peppermint schnapps
1/2 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps
fill with milk


Pour ingredients over ice in a blender, blend, and pour into a frozen highball glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings.


---------------------

I'll whip up a chef's salad with what else....


Iceberg lettuce!


DONE?

[Lady's Human]

Frankly, I prefer the Poseidon adventure.

Never watched any of the Titanic movies, I'm too familiar with the story, and would drive my wife nuts. (Just ask her.......she'll tell you)!

I'll just sit in the corner and fire up the marconi so I can listen to the Sox lose another game.

[smokey the elder]

Has anyone ever heard "Fare Thee Well Titanic"? Here's a really cool version; based on a true story of Jack Johnson, who was not permitted to sail on her because of the color of her skin. (It's a bit politically incorrect, so open with caution.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4jli...eature=related

I'll have one of those icebergs, though.

I found this on You Tube. It is images of the wreckage of the Titanic nicely set to music performed by Itzhak Perlman. The picture of wine bottles and especially the ending are very poignant (I won't give it away). I've read that the ship is now so fragile after being in the water, at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years that there's no way to bring it back up. The cost would be much too great. Which got me thinking-- Does the White Star Line still exist, and would they still be considered the owner of the Titanic?

And it's lunch time-- a salad with iceberg lettuce would be grand!

[Lady's Human]

Not to pick nits, Smokey, but why would the White Star Line, a British entity in an integrated society sailing from the UK, refuse passage to someone because of the color of their skin?

Neither the home port nor the port of destination had Jim Crow laws.

The US is going to scatter thousands of rose petals over the Titanic wreck site on the 15th. I think that is nice. Always been facinated with the Titanic. I would have loved to have seen her before she wrecked. Not been on her when she sank though.

I'd love a cherry rootbeer please? hold the iceberg.

[Pinot's Mom]

Just popping in REAL quick - duty continually call...Hi y'all! Love the Titanic, always fascinated with it as well..

DOTD in about an hour and a half, K?

[Lady's Human]

I'd hold the iceberg, but where in heck do you want me to put it?

Here's your drink, though. ORC! Gimme a hand with this!!!!

Well...true. It's still a fun song, though. "I just carry it!"

[RICHARD]

Stopping in for a second.


I heard that a memorial cruise starting from the UK had to turn back to port because a passenger had heart problems..

Does that mean his heart would not go on?

-----------

I also heard that Kate Winslet did an interview where she said that she wants to 'toss cookies' when she hears Celine Dion sing the the theme song from the movie.

People play it in KW's honor when ever she shows up at a function.

Talk about typecasting?

[Lady's Human]

Garden: tilled

Raised beds: Cleared/weeded

Peach tree: Planted

Can't spray the apple and pear trees until the wind dies down.

2 Bikes: Built and kids playing with them.

Blueberry bushes: Mulched.

Lime and peat moss: Spread.

Mowers/trimmers etc: ready to go.

I'm done. BEER !!!!!

[Karen]

Good brudder, pat, pat, pat!

Does this place have beer on tap? Dunno, but even I can hand over a can from the fridge!

[Lady's Human]

Wait, I forgot one: Dinner in the oven!

Now if I could only figger out where to put the other peach tree...(Hey, they were a 2fer, and they're good, healthy saplings!)

Over by the pond? Do peach trees like wet feet? Or in the front years, as they are so pretty when they blossom in the spring - and that would give you another obstacle to mow around!

Ain't I helpful? (Not!!!)

[Lady's Human]

They like damp feet, not wet feet. It's going by the end of the veggie garden towards the street, but out of the way of driving through the lower entrance to the yard.

Now to find more blueberry bushes.....
