I'm on a seafood diet - the more I see food the more I eat.
Hardy, har, har. Orange you glad I told that?
I admit, not the best but the best I can do from w-u-r-k.

I need something warm please. Maybe I nice pot of jasmine tea. Yesterday everyone was joking that it was warmer during the Olympics.

Orange I glad to be working today.

Could I please have Labatt's Blue? I'll drink it after work

I figured I needed to pay for my drink before I order it. So here it is:

A Typical Gnu
Submitted by Kayla Boettcher

On July 4th, 2007, Ferdinand Feghoot addressed the D.A.R.'s National Convention, hastily substituting for Robert A. Heinlein, who had been delayed on the Moon. Not knowing that his audience had expected a more appropriate theme, he spoke on the many new nations of Africa. "And in conclusion," he remarked, "I must mention the fascinating Republic of Gnus. We all know how, after the African bomb tests, the intelligence of the gnus suddenly rose to the human level, and they organized and were admitted to the U.N. We know about their already great contributions to speculative philosophy and the arts of government. But few of us are aware of their tragedy -- for the gnus soon learned they had no aesthetic sense whatsoever. This made them feel deeply inferior. After years of searching, they shouted with joy when a young male showed signs of a singular genius for arranging glazed ceramic squares in pleasing patterns which were then made permanent with cement. They asked me to examine this prodigy, and I gave him every imaginable test. But he was not truly talented. It was sad indeed that I rendered my verdict -- "
At this point, the President General leaned over to say that he should at least end his speech patriotically. "A simple slogan will suffice, dear Mr. Feghoot," she whispered.
" -- Typical gnu and tiler too!" shouted Ferdinand Feghoot.

Insert groans here. Barkeep may I have a Sam Adams Summer Ale

Well, on a somewhat different note, clam fritters and french fries with cole slaw at the bar!

Anyone want some?

(And Boston Cream Pie for dessert for someone's birthday cake)

No, Orc, it's not a fire, it's just the CAKE!!!!!!

[Karen]

Nice cake - we turned off the smoke detectors in this pace the first time Orc stoked the fire a tad too enthusiastically!

[Catty1]

"gnu and tiler too"...I don't get it...

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

"gnu and tiler too"...I don't get it...

I can explain it but I'll get the names wrong. Maybe I'll get LH to explain it.

[Karen]

It's the political slogan from the 1840 Presidential election won by William Henry Harrison -

Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!

William Henry Harrison was the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe and John Tyler was his Vice President

Something LOH might not know - our family had a connection to this election and campaign! An ancestor of ours (y'know, Lady's Human and mine) was responsible for dyeing the fabric for Harrison's suit for his inauguration. Any history buffs know, though, that Harrison had a very short Presidency ...

"After giving the longest inauguration speech (about 1 hour, 45 minutes - in the freezing cold and rain) in U.S. history, Harrison served only one month as president before dying of pneumonia on April 4, 1841."

ACK! I missed this yesterday! Any left? I do miss clam fritters!

[caseysmom]

I have never had one but I would love to try one with a bloody mary...I am on this darned bloody mary kick!

[Lady's Human]

There's plenty of leftover fritter makings.

A fresh batch of fritters, and a bloody mary to wash em down!

DONE!

There's plenty of Boston cream pie left as well, but it's nice and frozen now.

[pomtzu]

ACK! I missed this yesterday! Any left? I do miss clam fritters!

Me too - but I've got what's supposed to be the original recipe for Rocky Point Clam Cakes if you want it. My brother and I have both made them, and darned if they don't taste like the original thing!
