Let's go racing Thursday #521...

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??

Shedd's Spread is what's normally used. Sometimes I just feel the need to clog my arteries with the real thing tho....

Break out the hot chocolate with extra mallows, please!!!

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.

Whew,

I gotta put one of those Old Brooklyn Lanterns in the lost and found.....

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!!!!!

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?

No, I think you passed the test, welcome to the bar!

Karen,

I thought the Olde Brooklyn Lantern was kinda kitsch......and unnecessary.....

Done?

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?
