If we took a poll, I think we’d find that most people would be upset by crickets walking around on them, not to mention breeding.
And with that, I depart for my home-away-from-home, the Walmart.
You gotta Walmart Jones!
The trolls over at NeoClownPosse have noticed us.
Wonder how long until they stupidly send morons over to enjoy our Undead Thread Hospitality towards trolls?
[After all, we still are the troll pavers.]
We still have plenty od asphalt left......
That we do.
Heh heh heh.
Howdy, thought it was supposed to be warmer...minus 10 last night the high 23.
Howdy and welcome!
58 here.
Was supposed to be warmer here too.
When today is the 7th and the troll Short Bus ate it on the 2nd, and you only notice it today... you just may have stepped into the Undead Thread.
I thought I was supposed to bring fresh coughee, because the Darksroast blend is suspect. . .
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!
Yeah, Darks coffee is uh......infamous.....
The Darksroast houseblend is always suspect.
];-)
I don’t know what’s up with the coughee, I’m even afraid to ask. And I’ve been here for a few moving days....
It never should have happened, of course.
Seems we got a little over-ambitious that year with our plans for Thanksgiving. Everyone has heard of really enormous turkeys for Turkey-Day, so we thought we’d go one better by acquiring a dinosaur to cook up.
Come on, now, don’t tell me you wouldn’t have been tempted too.
Well, anyway, we climbed into the time machine, and set it for the late Triassic, (but not THAT late, you know?), and the first item on the menu happened to be a Plesiosaur.
Surely that would be enough for our crowd, right?
And you’d think that us geniuses, with access to a time-machine, would have realized that we needed a few days to cook up the beast. I mean DAYS, you know?
So that’s where we went wrong. We got back to the get-together, with our plesiosaur, and only then started making plans to cook it.
By that time, of course, we were out of time, and the time machine was no longer available. (Yeah, I know! But you try getting your hands on a time machine, and then try explaining why you need just a few more minutes! It’s embarrassing, I tell you!)
Well, we ended up just putting the plesiosaur into the moat, and she took to it right off. Turned out to be real gentle as well. Who knew?
Even the swimmers were having fun with her. She seemed to think they were some kind of pool-toy; and they liked sliding down her long neck.
So she fit right in with the rest of our motley assortment, and I didn’t think any more about it.
...
Of course, right about then we headed over to Loch Ness, as a convenient place to park while we stocked up on Guinness for a l-o-n-g trip.
And wouldn’t you know, while we were otherwise diverted, we had a burglar. Bashed in the (at the time) underwater loading hatch, and found its way to the secluded grotto our plesiosaur had discovered/excavated on the outer perimeter of the moat. Luckily we were using inflatable flotation devices for the Flying Castle, so no real harm was done.
Or so we thought. A few months later we found out that our innocent little plesiosaur was pregnant.
There Ain’t No Justice! You know?
Later.

Just DARN!!
Where it all started.
And it started with coffee:
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
You can always use it as a highly secret WMD to be brewed only in certain circumstances...
Or as fertilizer for a well-known-but-illegal-crop in the USosA. It should work quite well on eradicating the poachers.
*silent laughter*
Humble found out that deer will drink the stuff.
Which gave Eaker some entertainment during hunting camp due to deer attack.
And TOL has her own “Nibbly Deer of Doom” yard protection courtesy of the coffee.
I’m told we don’t have enough flour to make pretzels. We haz a sad.
Sheesh! Don't you have any Mormon neighbors?
