Would a malodorous ochre ogre eat okra with Oprah on Ocracoke? |

The answer to your question is "yes". Most certainly. |

Okay, but is not the correct Monty Pythonesque reply to ask for the clarification of "fried or boiled?" ![: ]](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/proud.gif) |

What is the unladen weight of an Arkansan Okra plant? |

It's Ochra Man!

My favorite form of Okra is pickled. I've even invented a new form of martini using it. Olives are out; okra is in! |

The okratini, one of the best of the self drinking martinis. You get one corner started the rest of it follows that down.
Anyone familiar with the slimy nature of raw okra will understand how it works.
Then there is is oystertini. Yumm!
When I was stationed at Subic Bay Naval Base Tanqueray gin was $1.60 for a imperial quart (40 ounces). I had my father in law sending me bottles of king sized jalapeno stuffed olives and I had a reputation for making one of the best martinis in the area. I cured several people who "couldn' stand the taste of gin".

"Okra-tini"! I like that!
Geez Jack, pickled okra ain't slimy; it's actually kinda fuzzy. Really great stuff!
The okratini is necessarily made using only the best Texas vodka. None of that gin stuff.
Yeah, I said Texas vodka. 
Learned about it down at this back woods Ranchito biker bash down near Brennam, TX. Stuff goes down like mountain spring water. Wakes up like.... J. Howze (HellbuellieJ aka naked Bueller) will have to tell you about that.  |

Since it's a vodka tini, maybe "vokratini" would be appropriate? |

Okay, no slime on pickled okra. But Texas vodka? I had to google that and here it is!
I've never been a vodka drinker. I want them to smell the booze on my breath and know I'm drunk, not stupid. But Texas vodka sounds like it might be worth a try.
I notice that Texas Vodka it made with 100% American grown corn, that might account for its stellar character in comparison to the other world class vodkas.
I'm also a staunch traditionalist on Martinis being made with gin and Vodka Martinis being not made with gin. I've sent Martinis back because the bartender made them with vodka.
