The Guild 2-7-2003 Night O' the Freaks

[BigWaveBetty]

That was some Thursday night! Two freak shows in one four hour period.

First up was Michael Jackson, very, very disturbing. If you were fortunate enough to miss it you can read what you missed on Hillary's Lovely Legs Live Michael Jackson thread.

Then later on Larry King Alive we were treated to the other king o' the freaks, William Jefferson Clinton. Read the transcript here.

As usual it was all about him. Me, me, me, I, I, I. Particularly amusing was this quote concerning North Korea:

We had a tough time with them, but we got them to end that program and they kept it ended until apparently today they started again.

Uh no bill, they never shut down their nuke program you unbelievably stupid worm.

Here's one about The Liebary that went right over stupid's head:

KING: We have a little advance here to show you. Kind of a virtual tour, a quick virtual tour of what will be the William Jefferson Clinton Library. Watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CLINTON: Our of Democracy must be not only the envy of the world, but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.

A leader who guided America through a period of great transition. This presidency will forever be captured at the 12th presidential library. The William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center and Park.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: Kind of cooky.

CLINTON: That's easy. That's my DVD. [Whoooosh! Didn't catch that kind of cooky (should be spelled kooky ya stupid CNN kooks!)comment eh bill? Bill was too busy being proud of himself.]

KING: Where's it going to be?

CLINTON: In Little Rock. Right on the Arkansas River.

A night of freaks, that's what Thursday night was!

Pulled pork??!!!

[Endeavor]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I noticed Courtney's absolutely huge and awful hands, too. I do hope, that you will archive this picture because it should prove to be great fodder when the evil spawn of Hillary! runs for office.

[lodwick]

Yikes - dang it's good to see ya CC!

Don't be such a stranger here, hear?

[CheneyChick]

because it should prove to be great fodder when the evil spawn of Hillary! runs for office.

Dang, you're good.... heh heh

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Y'all have pulled pork in Texas.

It's a shredded pork in BBQ sauce that's slow cooked. I serve it on a soft and buttery onion roll. All homemade, of course.

It just melts in your mouth. Delicious.

[lodwick]

OK - I get get it now. Email me some...I'm starving now.

Thanks for the culinary defintions.

Isn't is funny how differently we label things in different parts of the country?

Cheers CC.

[Endeavor]

Oohhhh - From that brief description, I'll bet Vindication bowed a tendon - not a good sign for his future racing career.

Pulled Pork, can be prepared in several ways, depending on the size of the crowd you intend to serve.

I used a 5 lb pork roast tonight. Cooked the roast long and slow,, then "pulled" the meat with the grain for fresh pork sandwiches. The leftovers were thrown in a saucepan w/barbeque sauce and are heating slowly on the stove as I type.

Another method,,, cook the whole hog, as in Hog Roast. When done, you pull the meat off the bone and place in electric roasters, and call in your friends and neighbors. You can add the bbq sauce to one roaster and leave the other roaster plain,, this way your guests can have it the way they like it. Serve with Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, potato chips and 5 kegs of beer.

"jumped the shark..."

Oh, Aggie Mama, you've got your sense of humor back. I'm so glad Aggie Baby is doing so well and appreciates your decaf coffee. GIG 'EM, AGGIE BABY!

I looked for a site where I could steal the Aggie Block T and bring it here in Aggie Baby's honor, but alas, I couldn't figure out how to do it. So anyway, Hullabaloo to Aggie Baby!

Re that photo of x42 with the Stones: seems to me the band members are laughing to themselves, "What a dork."

Have you noticed how he's latched onto his latest catch phrase, that is, calling bombs the "cash crop" of North Korea? Enough, already.

THE answer to the North Korean nuclear standoff was for an East Asian coalition to offer Pyongyang food, energy and the technology to grow food in exchange for an end to its nuclear programs, former US president Bill Clinton has said.

"North Korea is a poor country. They can't grow their own food. It's the most isolated society in the world. Their only cash crops are bombs and missiles," Clinton said on CNN's Larry King Live program.

.... "What we should do is get their neighbours, beginning with the South Koreans and then the Japanese and the Chinese and the Russians and get them all together and say (to Pyongyang): "'Look, here's the deal. If you'll end both nuclear programs we'll make sure you've got enough food and energy, we'll teach you how to grow food and we'll give you a non-aggression pact.'" source

The Koreans don't know how to grow crops? What the heck have they done to survive for the past several thousand years?

[Endeavor]

Awe, BWB. I love your "responsible-ness." Sure, I can wait 2 yrs to go to NZ, but I think we should get the rest of The Guild to promise to come, too. That would be fun - dinner and drinks with everybody, overlooking the Auckland harbor. I think it's the South Island that has the mountains and glaciers and stuff that is cold. Maybe you should do the cold while I sail - I get more than enough cold here in the midwest. I know you Floridians ache for a day when you can put a log on the fire. Me, I just ache for days to sail.

Augghhhh. Some more info on x42's Rolling Stones gig.

The former US president, speaking at the city's Staples Centre, said it was the responsibility of average citizens to, "stop the planet from burning up". He explained: "The reason this concert is important, is that the old energy economy that's cheating us as a planet is very well organised, highly centralised, rich as can be and very politically connected. [Can someone tell me what the #%$* he's talking about??? What economy is that? He's certainly in no position to object to political connections!]

"And the new energy future is decentralised, entrepreneurial and needs people like you to say, 'Give me a clean car, give me solar shingles to put on my roof - give me a clean future." source

Today I was in Chicago - a friend is visiting from MPLS so we went to the Art Institute - it was wonderful to see works by Monet and Pissarro. I'm not much of a fan of the other European impressionists but I also got to see several of Childe Hassam's works - he's my very favorite American impressionist. Can you tell I'm an impressionist nut? Had a great time until the drive home:

Brian Dennehey was being interviewed on the big afternoon drive time radio show. He said he believes in the death penalty: "What's the difference, philosophically, from sending young men off to war and using the death penalty?" Can you believe that idiocy???

He's doing some play at the Shubert w/Marlo Thomas which tells the story of several people who were on death row and wrongly convicted. He's a buffoon -- I couldn't believe the wacko things coming out of his mouth. Another Hollyweird flake I won't be paying money to see.

He thinks we need to create some kind of "Ombudsman Group" who, after a trial and sentencing, takes the cases and pours over them to make sure that the person wasn't wrongly convic ted. He thinks the ombudsman people could come from retired cops and private investigators - He says they wouldn't have any political axe to grind and could be "fair" to the convicted felons. He feels that the "poor and the minorities" are so unfairly treated by our justice system - that they take the brunt of our justice system. He actually said that our system of justice is "not fair." Excuse me, we have the best system in the world - it isn't perfect - nothing of man ever is, but it is damn good. Who is this guy to worry about "fair?"

Mr. Dennehy strikes me as nothing more than another clueless Hollywood celebrity without two synapses to rub together. Oh, that, and he has a microphone to the world. Amazing what passes for inspired thought these days.

OK, rant off. Sorry guys. Back to New Zealand!

Hey Lady! Where've you been? Great to see you here.

[Endeavor]

"Oohhhh - From that brief description, I'll bet Vindication bowed a tendon - not a good sign for his future racing career."

Or maybe damaged his suspensory ligament - either way, it's a real bummer.

"Y'all have pulled pork in Texas."

I think that's more of a Tennessee and North Carolina thing. We Texans love our bbq - usually brisket, beef and pork ribs.

[Timeout]

Growing up in Alabama, I wouldn't have had any idea what you were talking about..."pulled pork".

But during my years in California I came to love the Mexican pulled pork, "carnitas". Brisket slo-o-o-o-w cooked with onions, peppers and oranges. M-m-m goood!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I had a pork tenderloin, cubed it, stuck it in my pressure cooker with a bottle of BBQ sauce and dried chopped onions. Put it on for an hour and when it was done, I mashed it around a bit until it was all pulled. It just falls apart when you put it in the pressure cooker.

[Iowa Granny]

Yes, there are many ways to prepare it,, almost as many ways as there are cooks in the country.

[BigWaveBetty]

[Can someone tell me what the #%$* he's talking about??? What economy is that? He's certainly in no position to object to political connections!]

I told you so! When you hear him speaking you think to yourself, did I just hear that? But he talks so fast it doesn't have time to sink in. Then when you read it, it makes absolutely no sense.

Slick Willie's the name obfuscatin' is the game! (either that or he's just plain stooopid)
