Good night Ms.Pooh!
Sweet dreams and God Bless!
Ms.B
Yuppers.
Currently having fun watching an idiot on a snowmobile play chicken with a pickup truck/plow.
Also got to hear two county plows on the scanner discuss a guy who sped past 'plow 1'.. and then lose control to slam into 'plow 2'.
The conversation?
"Watch out for this idiot SUV, he's speeding and won't slow down."
"Who, this guy OMG! *static*"
"Uh.. I'd like to report an accident, car versus snowplow.."
YES!!!! Even had the record when records were COOL!
Star, we do that here, but we don't do the pecans/coconut. We call it "Mexican Pile-on". We use green pepper, too. Very similar!
L0L your a nut!
I do fritos onion and cheese occasionally when Im feelin like a Texan!
Ive had it with rice in the Navy
Never considered putting salad in there...
And coconut and PecanS??
You forgot the chocolate! L0L
Goddnight Poohbear
Rest Well
That sounds so good. Ms. B- you sent me a recipe a while back.. is this the recipe. I deleted the message by mistake and forgot to ask you about it until now.
that trucks a 4X4 of course?
You should give him a shout
Oh my gosh unc - just WOW!!!
Sounds like justice to me. I hope his SUV is totalled and he got hurt (not really bad, but enough to remind him of how stupid he was).
We could get 30 INCHES of snow with wind gusts to 75 mph! I can't imagine the snow drifts from that, and really don't want to see it first hand, either.
I would really have liked to see a JATO takeoff. Even with earplugs it would've sounded impressive. Has it been a long time since it has been flown?
You really put coconut and pecans in there?
I spect it could work actually.
Ive just never thought of it in mexican food L0L
Like I said - don't knock it til you try it!! The pecans and coconut are AWESOME!!!! The first time I had it was at a friend's house who is FROM TX and she learned it there. I was going to skip the wierd stuff and she insisted that I try one bowl her way. Like I said, I skip black olives cause they'll ruin anything for me, but the rest is AWESOME!!!
Report # 2
FReepers Inauguration Ball
MudBoy Slim picked me up at 4:30 and we talked shop and listened to jams before we boarded the Metro. In no time it seemed it was 6:30 and we arrived in DC 4 short blocks from the Washington Plaza. The wind was whipping and the icy chill pierced the skin like a thousand tiny needles. Folks all around and the city is alive, buzzing with sound and aromas from baked bread to fine perfumes were noted then dropped for the next round to come.
We entered though the doors guarded by two statuesque women without tops. I mean they had bare bosoms. That wouldn't fly down home. No way. I had to go back a few steps for a little closer examination. Dang Mudboy, then reminded me of our mission, so we entered to find a line longer than the ones at a Fling the Cow Patty at Al Franken booth.
The line is very long and slowly moves and we are informed, that to make it easier, we'd be given wrist bands and to come back later and pick up our nametags. Being with MUD was a treat as he is recognized immediately and we both are in! We go directly to the bar, strictly for medicinal purposes and swallow hard.
The area is covered with crisp clean good looking men and women in uniform. Some of the largest guys I have seen, ever. Little uncleshag felt mighty safe with all this and security to boot!
Then comes the buffet and more meet and greets. Old friends and new coming together like a big ol' family reunion with the ocassional crazy aunt and uncle on hand for a laugh.
The buffet is all encompassing, cheeses, meats, stuff in hot dishes, bread rolls so hard you'd have to beat it with your patent leather dance shoes to get a bite. I guess the baker sent the day old stuff. Southern biscuits are light fluffy and are layered with butter oozing out the sides. Perhaps if we elect a Southerner in 08, maybe BBQ and biscuits will be the order of the day.
We sit and eat and chat as folks go by the table. Then it's off to really find out what's happening so we go back to the bar. Another round and the women and men get livelier,
Oh and FReeper women are the best looking group of gals I have ever seen. You know how these Canteen ladies look in their gowns, these were like that but bigger.
wOO hOO, big time.
There were poster boards displayed for all to see, I saw some of the photo's Kathy in Alaska had presented over the years and that was so cool and BUFORD P gave MUD and Uncleshag a personal showing of his work, even the ones hidden inside the larger posters.
That guy BUFORD P is a talker, dontcha know. One fella comes up wanting info on what is going on here and the check in crew, to which I say, bravo! sikked ol' BUFORD P on him. I felt sorry for the guy as BP began grilling him as to who he was, shaking him down, up against the wall, rifling through the poor minds pockets and mind... at the same time!
what a FReeper BP is! Oh Yeah!
Then we walk by doug from uplands table and he's spitting and sputtering cause some FReeper tried to kill him with a salmon bone and doug is gagging and talking on the radio simultaneously! Really, some of his best work ever! He was interviewing Jim Rob earlier and now he's tied up again. We leave and - yep - go back to the bar area and on to the presentations. You all had the opportunity to hear the live thread and it was just as awesome in person. One thing about it though, if the stage had been three feet higher, or we had all sat on the floor, it would have made for easier viewing. So doug's radio feed might have
been what I heard. We did muscle our way up close as buckhead spoke. The Sparticus line was great, I tell you what!
JimRob's special gift announcement was super and I have to say that Jim Rob was a gracious host smiling, being photographed with FReepers and such. As I introduced myself he smiled and said, "Uncleshag! Glad you made it!" It was like having a word from 'W' himself.
The music got louder, the folks started dancing and uncleSHAG showed off the steps that gave him his name, dancing with quite a few of the lovely ladies I know had to be imported ringers. These young Ladies knew the steps, wOOhOO!!
I guess I wore 'em out because suddenly it was bright lights and last call. I head to the coat check and the goodbye's begin. I pick up my overcoat, as does MUD.
That's when we talk to the Viet POW and it all comes back into focus, that we have many to thank yet, and many unknown stories yet to hear.
Folks, the ball is fine for what it is. I think the work we do here in the Canteen and outside these walls is the real Ball and whether or not you ever put a face with a name, it will be ok.
Truth and purpose have but one face, and she sure is pretty. FReedom is her name.
Carry on!
- unc.
Glad to hear that you are getting a generator. A must in the "winter weather" you can have. Hopefully Mike will "phone home" soon to let you know he's on his way from a successful mission.
Mike says "Howdy!"
he just got home!
(smiling)
4 x 4?
No...
Mike says he's from Nebraska..
He knows from snowstorms!
LOL
I'll be back later!
Ms.B
One night hubby and I were awakened to the sound of screeching tires and a loud thud. It took a second to realize what had happened. The STREET CLEANER was going down our street and was rear ended. I just about laughed my butt off at that one. The Ms. Cravitz in me opened the window a crack and listened to the cops talking in front of our house. Apparently the guy was stone cold sober - he just fell asleep at the wheel.
