I will try to eat one more burger than she does, all for the good of the party I'm good for at least four at a sitting...as long as they're rare...Sounds like you got a full day ahead of you...
Havin' a friend over for chow tonight...his wife and kids went to Ukraine for two months on a mission...Matthew was there for the first month, but the he didn't have enuff leave to stay the whole time...We're doin red meat on the grill, portobello mushrooms and squash rubbed with olive oil n garlic and grilled...and I might have to grill some brocolli...mmmmmmm...grillin'....Of course, there will be copious homebrew, scotch, and cigars...

My guess is you get to choose what goes on your GOP burger, while on the Demo burger you get told what's best for you... That's a good answer!
If I recall correctly, the Demo burgers are piled on with grilled onions... and the GOP burgers have more standard burger fare on them... lettuce, tomato. and GOP Goop.

Okay I've got fat and greasy with the protein:
And I've got bland:
Or perhaps you prefer your oatmeal like this:

on the Demo burger you get told what's best for you Good one bro... I like this Heinlein quote:
"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."
To: HairOfTheDog
Ohh, ok... I thought maybe the Demo burger was a tofu burger with bean sprouts on it...
To: Corin Stormhands
I hope there is some good barbeque... this is our local town fair, more like a carnival than a fair. Those are later in the year. This has food and carnie booths, rides, that sort of thing. I might win a goldfish!
There will be a parade tomorrow that I am trying to get anyone interested in going to (no one wants to go to the parade!) and there will be fireworks.
To: Overtaxed
One for taste, one for health, and one for... later. :)
Time to go to work here, back at lunchtime!

Not even the democrats eat tofu 'round these parts!
To: g'nad
Your evening sounds good too g'nad! We just had a gathering like that at my brothers birthday at the beach... meat, beer, Wild Turkey, cigars (for the boys) and the potato cannon.

You mean Demo Burgers aren't those wussy PETA veggie-burgers?
To: Overtaxed
No... the democrats served up greasy burgers made from a cow with grilled onions! - Does that make you respect them just a bit?
To: HairOfTheDog
No...it makes me think they're cozying up to the moderates.
To: HairOfTheDog
and the potato cannon. Potato cannon, eh?...I've heard about those...what's your brother's made outta?
To: Overtaxed
hehehehe - Actually, the Demo stand is legit... The GOP stand is fairly new. When I was growing up there were always Demo Burgers, they were standard fare. No boot the the Repos. I wondered about it. Apparently others wondered too, so the GOP stand went up about five years ago.
Of course, now the stand that is missing is the stand for the large local militant anarchy faction. They are our Lesbian/eco-terrorist/Peta types in town. Of course, it is probably too hard for them to get organized... and maybe they know no one buys food from people with face piercings, even at the fair.

I might win a goldfish! Oooh!! Let me know. I know all about caring for goldfish...
Yours sounds more like our County Fair. Same type of stuff. We prefer the State Fair, cause you can pay one price for everything. At the County Fair, you pay per ride. We sorta balked when we figured out it would cost us $13.00 for three of us to ride the Ferris wheel. But they have "wristband days" where you can ride all day long for ten bucks. Much better deal for us.
To: Overtaxed
Okay, I'll take one from column "A" and one (or more) from column "B."
To: HairOfTheDog
and there will be fireworks. Will you have to drug the livestock again?

Potato cannon, eh?...I've heard about those...what's your brother's made outta? Made out of PVC Plumbing stuff...
The spark comes from the striker from a Coleman lantern. Drill a hole and install the lighter inside with the striker sticking out and seal it.
Stuff the potato all the way down with a tamper (little round red potatos work best, must fit tight)
Open the chamber, (Ramius's has an screw-on cap) and pour in the accellerant. Lighter fluid is what we use most often.
Close it up, turn it around slowly to disperse and evaporate the accelerant, point it in a safe direction and flick the starter. (the potatos go 100 yards or more depending on the quality of the load)
Here is Ramius and his potato cannon, photo taken last weekend at his birthday!

BTW, I think the sentence "No boot the the Repos. " is supposed to say "No booth for the Repos" but I am not sure what I was trying to say now.
To: Corin Stormhands
I prefer column "B" myself. Is it 4:00 yet?
