lol! Why do I suddenly have this mental image of you and Chan heading West and then Northwards.. and leaving a trail of coronary victims in your wake... the Heart and Stroke foundation hot on your trail :D

If you are able to make it, that would be much fun ;)
LOL......For a bit of irony here....my uncle is the ceo of the Texas branch of the American Heart Association.

But that does not stop him from hosting one of the best yearly Bar-B-Ques in Dallas. :D ......My heart surgeon friends say "It's good for business " :D

LMAO! :D Now that is funny! :D

You are of course aware that providing radical sorts like myself with this type of information will only confirm all of those conspiracy theories we've long held dear? :D :D

*sigh* I think this thread has corrupted me :D In need of food and a break from reading I just headed to the local burger shack where I consumed some real onion rings and an enormous hot & spicy chicken strip burger :D

Oddly enough, I noticed while there that the house special is an open- faced sandwhich heaped with monstrous meat patties, double cheese, double fried onions and double dollops of chili! :eek:
Since I usually eat a fairly healthy diet I opted for the chicken burger... but lol! It is a good thing we are probably having Japanese food tonight :D

So would I--if my wife weren't around.

If she were, I'd act very virtuous, and ask them to hold the cheese. :D ;)

You know....this is making me very hungry....
I think we need to plan a SYM Bar-B-Que in a fairly central location..if there is such a thing for SYM.....and make it like a family reunion....everybody bring their favorite family recipe, and carve great slabs off a whole roasted calf on an open spit :D

BS can provide the music, and fable can call the dance :D

You know, when my wife and I got married in Raleigh, North Carolina, we decided to have a pig picking. Our guests were treated to a meal heated overnight in the traditional underground pit. It was delicious. :D

Although I'll frankly admit that if we were to do it again, I strongly suspect chicken tandoori would be our food du jour. ;)

Heh! Not likely. :D Oh, but that was a glorious pig, for a wonderful wedding. And we had it in a large nature park in NC, so the atmosphere was right. :)

Have you ever tasted chicken tandoori, though? Great barbeque dish.

If you're ever up our way, we'll take you out to a great Indian buffet nearby: magnificent tandoori, silky smooth ma'lai kebab, and a chettinad that drives the ice right out of the winter. :D

WITCHES! All of them Witches!

I can't speak for anybody else, here, but I've been a witch for twenty-five years, now, and a Wiccan, as well. We had quite a nice discussion on the subject while you were gone. Maybe I should bump that pagan thread, again.

EDIT: Bumped, it is. :)

Just a little joke, my friend. That was always my favorite line in the movie.

No offense taken. :)

And it's very mild compared to some of the things I've been called. :rolleyes: ;)

In the interests of continuing ecumenical harmony, I thought I'd post this amusing "ritual" found on a pagan website. Seems that one of my religious brethren as a sense of humor. I'm glad he hasn't gotten that knocked out of him, at least, not yet:

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Mother-in-Law -by James Lin

In the double current of Maat/Horus, the disbanding of Nirvana and the age of the new Goddess, Alanis Morrissett, do I type these words, 'tis true, without a word of lie, 'tis very true. That which is on the z-list is online, and that which is online, is on the z-list, to work boredom from. And just as all things have been, and are come from, Shub internet, so are all e-mails born of this one thing. And so it goes.....

As I lay in my chamber, exausted from another day, my Ladywife and child beside me, I did hear a stirring coming from yonder.

"Hark!", I said, I usually don't say "Hark," but it makes for a better story, "Hark!", I said, "What is that noise from kitchen yonder?"

I crawled from the safety of my warm nest and reached for my weapon. I spoke the secret words as taught to me by my mentor, Mr. Rogers.

"Oh mighty Mjollnir, basher of burglars, at any other time thy name be golfclub, defend me now in your grandest "hole in one" style. I invoke thee Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas, and Lee Trevino. Lee, you're not that great of a golfer, but you were struck by lightning."

I felt the powerglow of Mjollnir creep through my body, or it might have just been heartburn from too much pizza before bed, I'm not sure. Feeling bold, I took four antacid tablets with extra calcium and crept down the stairs to the cavern we call the kitchen.

There before me hunched over a pot of some incongruent mass, was, to my horror, the Mother-in-law!

I quickly said my silent invocation to the God "Nike Adidas" and the silent incantation "Feets don't fail me now" but she turned and saw me before I could run away.

The stench of too much Opium and Morning Dew perfume assaulted my senses, I almost passed out from the smell. I shook my head to clear my throbbing brain, and saw her moving toward me, a spoon in one hand and the pot in the other.

Thinking as quickly as I could I shouted "Get thee behind me Mother-in-law. Oh yea, forcer of unwanted food, pincher of my young son's cheeks. Take your pots of alcohol chicken and your silly folk superstitions and begone."

And she that moved spake, "We are the Mother-in-laws and we are many, we move into your home in the well-meaning guise of nutritional needs, but in reality we come to cause strife. Our famous curse Support the baby's head! will ring in your ears till the day you die."

The odor of garlic and Polident was almost too much to bear. I was frozen in place, forced to listen to her complaining diatribe.

She continued "I hurl upon ye, parents that love your children and would keep them. We the Mother-in-laws manifest in many forms, one of those forms being 'The well meaning friend'."

I had had enough, I knew if I didn't stop this horror now, it would be too late. I rose up and spoke the revered names of Gods and Goddesses most hated by the Mother-in-law.

"I invoke thee Led Zeppelin, fall upon this Legion and take it from my site. In through the out door, if you will. And also the curse called 'The well-meaning friend'. Those vile childless beings that somehow know everything about how to rear my child. Jimi Hendricks wail upon your guitar with extra feedback and distortion, Janis Joplin rip one out and sonically banish this blot on human kind."

Then I spoke my best and most sacred barbarous name incantation, that of Cheech and Chong "Oh Feely me bony belly e probiscus e Billy selly all of his dominoes."

And with that the Mother-in-law packed her bags and left my dwelling, vowing never to return.

Somehow, I doubted it.

There's no mother-in-law who isn't special, nicht wahr? I'm still looking around for a great script I posted quite a while ago about a football match between the forces of Good and Evil (Christian style, of course) that was a lot of fun. Might make a good repost. :)

...And in another hour we'll be leaving for the IDB (Incredibly Decadent Buffet) I referred to, above. I'll post the menu when I return, assuming I can reach far enough forward to hit the keyboard after consuming everything in sight. It's disgusting, I admit, but I am a product of my filthy culture. What can I do? ;)
