[Conspiracy Guy]

I still have this picture of your house.

[JustAmy]

Yesterday seemed an apropriate time for those two songs. :)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'm still laughing.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Mud is too messy

THAT'S NOT MY HOUSE!, I DON'T HAVE A YELLOW TRUCK, but I know who does! (They won't let us have a mobile home in our yard either, or my hubby probably would drag one home. And the broken down car in the yard is red!)

TO THE MASTER!

Everyone has a favorite Alfred Hitchcock tale
From "Lifeboat" to "North By Northwest"
One could include "The Birds" and "Psycho"
If you enjoy scary goose bumped flesh
Though the tale I remember the best
Dates back to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"
Where a harried housewife clubs her angry mate
With a frozen leg of lamb, such an ironic fate
While the detectives blissfully dine on the delicious evidence.

That was based on an O'Henry story, I think. "Lamb to the Slaughter"

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is a yellow SUV.

Mud Pie
Mama Dip's Kitchen - Mildred Council
University of North Carolina Press

Author's Note: This recipe makes two pies, but I don't think you'll have any problem getting rid of them at a family gathering.
1 box (18 1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
1 stick margarine or butter, cut into pieces (4 ounces)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cut into pieces
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 can (3 1/2 ounces) flaked coconut
Grease two 9-inch pie pans. Prepare the cake batter according to package directions and spread evenly in the pans. In a saucepan over low heat, soften the cream cheese and margarine and combine well. Remove from heat and add the brown sugar, mixing well. Add the walnuts and coconut, stirring to mix. Using a spoon, place the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes.
Each pie serves 8.

I was trying to find it on Google. There is some confusion. It may be that both O'Henry and Roald Dahl wrote stories with this title, as perhaps did Ray Bradbury.

But the Hitchcock show may have come from the Roald Dahl piece. Here's a link.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Why did you send me the picture then?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I didn't send you that pitcher, and it ain't mah house!

I bet you HAVE been eatin' those ant and potted meat casseroles an' you jes' don wanna tell us!
