Funny thing happened on the way to the office...okay, not really funny, but upon entering my office I was smacked in the face with the overwhelming smell of propane (insert Hank Hill joke). Our office shares the same building with a restaraunt (source of the propane leak) and a veteranarian's office, so I've spent the last few hours evacuating cats, dogs and some kinda lizard from the vet and trying to convince English-challenged kitchen staff to evacuate. But that's over, I'm back at home and it's time for a beer. Oh, and the OFST ping list is on a 'puter surrounded by explosive gas so if y'all could ping some of the usual suspects...
One time the wife and I went as the male and female ends of a plug. When we would dance together, we would "plug in" and a flashing light on top of her costume would blink.
My ex and I did that back in '82. We had lights and buzzers. We won 1st place - a trip to New Orleans during Halloween. That was fun.
You plug in often?
Don't you have any work to do today? You are all over the place. TALK about a time waster!!!
Scots throw 'em in, but it's illegal in the US, imagine outlawing brains!
WORLD'S BEST HAGGIS RECIPE! A Prize-Winning Recipe From Scotland!
In several episodes of The Simpsons, Groundskeeper Willie talks about his favorite food: Haggis. In one episode, Willie set up a booth at Bart's school fair with a sign over it that said "Haggis 50¢". Nobody bought any.
Just what is Haggis? Haggis is the national dish of Scotland. "Piping in the Haggis" is the highlight of a Scottish wedding or Christmas dinner. Haggis is traditionally served with "tatties" (potatoes) "neeps" (rutabagas) and a large glass of Scotch whiskey (which in Scotland is spelled "whisky.")
Ingredients: 1 sheep stomach 1 sheep liver 1 sheep heart 2 sheep lungs (called "lights" in Scotland) 1 sheep brain 3-1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal 1 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped suet (cow fat) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (red pepper) 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg Salt & pepper to taste
Note: The U.S. government has declared that sheep lungs are dangerous for human consumption, so tradtional haggis is illegal in the U.S. In addition, many state and local laws ban the sale or consumption of sheep stomachs and/or brains.
There are a number of recipes for "Americanized Haggis" around, haggis that is legal for sale in the U.S. These recipes usually simply substitute lamb shoulder meat for the banned internal sheep organs. To get an good "Americanized Haggis" recipe, go to the Haggis Web Site at Haggis! There you can find out everything you ever wanted to know about haggis.
Hay Max and All!
You think you're late? I have been so busy today I didn't even the OFST ping 'til 5 minutes ago.... ugh!
Happy Friday All!!!!!
I worked all morning! Doesn't that count for something?
Not too sure who he is. Did he invent velcro?

We were discussing Americanized Haggis yesterday. I'd pull up the thread, but it's probably 25 pages back by now.
Dang, no wonder you could afford to buy Southfork.
