They have gumbo in our cafeteria today and you all know what THAT means!! OKRA!! | ||
| Road_thing |
It ain't gumbo without okra... rt | ||
| Djkaplan |
I can't believe this: I just modeled this in SolidWorks because I needed a representation of a 12-pack container that wouldn't upset Pepsi, Coke, Budweiser, and Miller distributors that we send proposals to...  What the heck made me think of okra earlier today? | ||
| Teeps |
WINFREY? | ||
| Court |
I'd drink it . . . but, as with all Okra, ya gonna have to fry it. My carefully balanced fully homeostatic bionic system will reject anything not rolled in flour and bread crumbs and boiled in liqui-fried pig fat for about 10 minutes. . . Any wonder I am roughly the shape of Venus?  | ||

I'm assuming you mean the planet, not the goddess? | ||

It's not OKRA Winfrey, it's ORCA. | ||
| CJXB |
Me too !! I'm assuming you mean the planet, not the goddess? | ||

>>>>Then you must miss the Wisconsin fish frys this time of year There are times, having lived in Waukesha for a mere two years, that I cry out for the land of fried foods and cheese. If I were being launched into space for an extended mission . . I would totally due my shopping where beer and brats are considered a diet while you are cutting down on fried foods. Look the folks in Wisconsin shuttle about with perhaps a bit more girth than the Jersey girls but have you ever met a gal in Wisconsin who was not an absolute delight and happy as hell? It speaks highly to the effect that fish fry, beer and brats impute on the human psyche. . . | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Yes, but living in Waukesha for 2 years, did you ever have a Ponza Rotta from Jimmy's Grotto? You haven't lived until you have one! | ||
| CJXB |
Look the folks in Wisconsin shuttle about with perhaps a bit more girth than the Jersey girls but have you ever met a gal in Wisconsin who was not an absolute delight and happy as hell?  I'd "prefer" to be a size 4 than and absolute delight and happy as hell, good grief !! | ||
| Court |
>>>I'd "prefer" to be a size 4 than and absolute delight and happy as hell, good grief !! You change one bit and I'll personally put you in a head lock and give you a Buell noogy. . . you are a major moto-fox . . .shine Babe! | ||
| Court |
>>>Ponza Rotta from Jimmy's Grotto? How come I am just now learning of this? . . . I must confess that some of the best, albeit in the wee hours of the morning, Mexican food I have ever had was in Waukesha! | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Court!!! I am majorly disappointed with you! You LIVED IN WAUKESHA, and have never had a Ponza Rotta? Damn! Did you spend all your waking hours in the "Buell compound" or what? We're going to fix that next time you're in the area. Make time during Homecoming this year for sure Court! How about a big "Ponza Run" right after the Homecoming events in East Troy are done? P.S. Next time you speak with Erik, ask if he knows what a Ponza Rotta is. | ||

Courts hankering for me to finally get him that refried bean Kringle..... I need to do this. Say do you want frosting on on it or hot sauce on the side?? | ||
| Steve_mackay |
refried bean Kringle Dana, that is just WRONG! | ||
| Bads1 |
Steve,Hey I know its wrong but its what Court's been asking of me for 5 years now. Ask him where that can of refried beans is that I gave him back in 2002.lol Court still has it adorned on a high shelf in his den/office. | ||
| Jimidan |
I'm assuming you mean the planet, not the goddess? I think I just peed a little! I think I just threw up in my own mouth. | ||
| Court |
Dudes. . . and Ms. Dudette . . I am a culinary slut . . I'd eat kringle with refried beans in a moment and the can of beans, that you folks effectively rendered commerically useless by autographing it, sits proudly among a collection of some great Buell memories. I'd be all over this Panza whatever gig for like Friday night at Homecoming. If this stuff is pig intestines or tripe I'll be major pissed. I'm having a bit of a culinary problem here, on campus all day, among these frickin' kids. Here, in the bowels of academia everything in all the various eateries on campus is "free trade" this, organic that, low soy crap and 7 grain stuff. This bunch of flaming liberals, prancing about in t-shirts bearing a W likeness with a slash on them, I predict will leave this planet early, the resultant peril or a lack of trans fat and fried foods. I just stood in line and, as I stood, there as a conspicuous "non-traditional student" waved my can of Dr. Pepper and my brownie is their faces as they went by. .. you could hear the collective gasp as these trust-fund babies had to deal with me. I'm waiting until these guys start preaching to me about "Green Building". . . I had to sit and listen to a guy named Calatrava espouse "socially responsible building" for 4 hours last Friday. Puke Anyway. . . they push me too far. . . I'm bringing in the "A Team". . . I'll send plane tickets to RT, Bomber, FMJH and JB2, proivide them with 2 bottles of scotch and a case of beer and all you'll see if liberals fleeing through the streets of Harlem! When my take over is complete. . . . I'm having Blake in to teach Politics. Yeah . . . I'd love some kringle and beans about now. Court out . . test at 6:40PM | ||
| Bads1 |
You got it Court. I'm calling in a favor to one of the finest bakery's in Racine,Wisconsin to fill this order for Mexican Kringle. See you at Homecoming my friend. | ||
| Bomber |
WE're there, Court -- not sure it'd be a good idea for me to HALO at this point in my career, but I'm getting really good at scarin chilluns SIGNED, the guy who's daughter brings friends home from college as part of their anthropology course work -- lookee over here -- this is a great example of Development Arrestus in the wild -- note the scent of long-chain hydrocarbons wafting from the enclosure, and the aggressive display at feeding/drinking time -- please pay no attention to the dead monkey in the jar, and whatever you do, do NOT establish eye contact, and move slowly at all times | ||

I can see the letters home . . . . Dear Mom and Dad: Things were going fine, I was maintainly, simultaneously, my 4.0 and virture until last week. An old man in my class brought some friends. They were very scary people. The only funny thing was the one with the mustache who could fart on command. Well, they said they wanted to drink. That was fine with us and we got them some mineral "Smart Water". The one from California began to vomit and speak like dad did the day his pinky got caught in the hedge trimmer. He quickly gave the one with the funny accent a lot of money and sent him off. Before long he returned with intoxicants and they began to drink like Uncle Fred did that year on the 4th of July. But, you remember Fred stopped. . . these guys didn't. One of them from Indiana seemed to think the more they drank the funnier it was and began to dance with the one from CA while the other two, obviously much older, make naught and glip remarks about them. I may be wrong, but I don't think this was the first time they did this. You remember where the library was? Well they went potty in those bushes and as they were walking off the one with the funny accent yeller . . . "I gotta fickin' eat something" After seeing this I broke up with Drake from Stamford and am going to find myself a real man. What is Okra? Your daughter, Tiffanne | ||
| Bomber |
Poor Tiff -- thinks are tough in academe of late MUCH older? yeah, I spose we are -- a success, of sorts ;-} | ||
| Court |
The only relief here was when they closed the library to film Ghostbusters. . . . it's a ugly world. | ||
| Road_thing |
Two fifths and a case? OK, that's a start... Yes, we are older (of course, Bomber is older than me) and No, this would not be our first rodeo. If the snow has thawed up there, feel free to send plane tickets and Scotch. I'm there for you. See ya later--I gotta f**kin' eat somethin! rt | ||
| CJXB |
Yes, we are older (of course, Bomber is older than me) Yea, well you're older than me, so that makes you both older than me !!  Court you're a killin me, too funny this thread !!  | ||
| Bads1 |
How about a good Irish Whiskey Bomber??? | ||
| Road_thing |
CJ, everybody's older than you, but nobody's prettier! Bad, do you like Black Bush? It went down pretty smooth at Homecoming...goes great with okra... rt |
