jjbrr Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'll be happy to drizzle my steak with a little bacon before grilling or marinade some chicken in some bacon and rosemary before roasting.

mike777 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 What happened to baseball? Take your eye of this thread for a second and...... Spring training is near and my keeper fantasy league team sucks. Focus people. I have great honkin bats and a plan. Ubaldo Jiminez (Colorado) is mine. I have the rights to Yorman Bazardo (Houston) as a farm pick that doesn't cost me a position in the draft and will be able to pick up Antonio Bastardo (Philly). My pitching rotation this year will be Ubaldo Bazardo Bastardo. Pitchers and Catchers report soon! After winning last year this is a rebuilding year for me. So far this Hot Stove season I have traded away an expensive Carlos Lee and Beltran and two cheap players, Madsen and Hawkins for a cheap Diaz and two low priced starters. So now I got 4 starters and two solid relievers, Street and Qualls. That means I can focus on hitters in our April auction draft. I am still trying to trade away Utley and McCann for some cheap keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my understanding that storms are caused be lewd and licentious behavior, and/or pacts with the devil. Come to think of it, that may describe US politics pretty well. I have shoveled enough so that I can now get the car down to the street, but my wife just heard that the powers that be, or think that they be, are calling the snowplows back in because the roads are too dangerous for them. Perhaps I should take a hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've never actually lived in a place that got lots of snow, but i always wondered why folks who do don't use flame throwers on their driveways Tradition. Don't mess with tradition. Also it's a source of employment. When I was in high school and the snows hit, my mother would call the school and say I was sick Then I would go out and shovel driveways for cash. I never once had anyone ask me why I wasn't in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Why do they slice it so thin :P Am I the only one who would enjoy a big block of it to gnaw on? Perhaps a few chunks resting peacefully in some cleverly flavored vodka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 yeah well they slice it so thin because then you eat the same ammount but much more slowly, so kinda get more for the same price. My mother couldn't stand eating it unless it was so thin that you could see behind (transparent) they also sell the full leg for you to slice manually, it is fun at the start, but it is very hard to eat it quick enough before it dries. Althou even a bit dry it is still good. We normally get one for christmas when all family meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 well i understand tradition, but seriously - don't you think it would be wayyyy easier to just crank up the flame thrower and melt that crap?It's a balance. The bad news is that I can't get to the Y, which no doubt is closed anyway, for my exercise, the good news is that nature provides an alternative form. But at some point I may be in the market for a flame thrower. The University of Maryland has now been closed for a full week, last Friday through today. I came in 1967 and nothing remotely like that has happened before. The street in front of my house has been plowed several times, it needs it again. Suvs with four wheel drive could make it, perhaps, but my Accord would refuse I am sure. Nowhere to go anyway. I think Congress is closed. I wonder what will happen if no one notices the difference, or maybe folks notice a distinct improvement in the way things work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOut Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 When I lived in Atlanta, the rare snowstorm would close the city for a day or so until it melted. During one such event, a local radio station called an announcer in northern Alaska to ask about the snow there. The announcer said, "Well, I'm speaking to you now from the second story of our building, and the snow is about half-way up the window pane." The next question was, "How many snow days do your kids get every year?" "None," the Alaskan guy said. The peninsula where I now live in Upper Michigan juts far into Lake Superior, so we get lake effect snow in addition to the normal stuff. Average yearly snowfall here is about 6 meters, give or take. The school kids do get one or two snow days a year during whiteout driving conditions when the buses can't drive safely. Of course our taxes here pay for a lot of show removal equipment and labor. And I have two snowthrowers to clear our long driveway through the woods to the road nearest the shoreline, plus assorted shovels and scoops to keep things passable around the house. Many families here hire guys with snowplows on trucks to keep their driveways clear, but after awhile there is little room left to push the snow. Fortunately for me, I love to get out in snow (otherwise I guess I wouldn't live here), and sometimes I just have to stop clearing the driveway for a few minutes to admire how beautifully it sparkles on the trees.

FBI profilers will be interested in this. Why do 80% of Canadians live within a hundred miles of the U.S. border? We huddle together to stay warm.
