(haven't we been here before?)

yes...at least 2 times too often

well let's maintain the status quo, you leave me alone to win here and i don't revisit any unpleasant memories for you...

i'm your worst nightmare, unc! Btw, I've always found my olfactory memories to be very strong. I can still smell many of the people I've known. And naturally it takes 2 nasal openings to optimize my olfactory senses.

how about a nice hawaiian punch? :)

i think i'll have that with rum, thank you

yo-ho-ho...

were you ever a pirate?

no, but i was a cardinal in little league...

where I grew up more than half the Little Leprechaun's little league football were Polish ...I'm of Hungarian ancestry.

shoot, the whole east side of erie, pa was polish, where my father grew up, and i used to spend every summer there playing ball when i was a kid...

wow...that's eerie!!! I go to Erie once in a while since GE manufactures locomotives there and they're one of our best customers, using a gadget we make on each one of those iron horses. Any good Polish food restaurants you can recommend for next time I go? I grew up in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philly...which is sort of like Little Warsaw.

Good night, "on the prowl" Nick.

sleep tight, Jet....glad my wife doesn't log on to my forum prowling or she might misunderstand that

i haven't spent time there in over 40 years, but there used to be a fantastic deli/grocery just a couple blocks around the corner from my aunt and uncle's place on east 6th street...

So now I got my sights on the Polish restaurant near my mom's house ...excellent prepared foods as well as authentic Polish deli and grocery supplies, and Polish beer...will go this week.

/me is hungry for some of my grandmother's kishka...

do you mean the blood sausage kishka? I love that stuff. I'll get some when I visit my mom, fry it up at home and gross out the rest of the family...non hackers!

we'd broil it...

just as good...

does she make it with barley, or rice?

rice...but I've also had it with barley.

The kishka I like is that black blood sausage. But I've seen other sausage type things called kishka that are yellowish, like in our local Jewish deli they sell a "kishka" that looks like this and is not nearly as tasty...to my taste

I'm sure broiling would also work well, though I like to fry it until it starts to pop open and the skin is mostly crispy, like this:

Starts like this

has anyone in this thread said it takes 2 to tango?

has anyone heard?

doesn't taste like cauliflower...

I make a wonderful (not the cd one) baked casserole of cauliflower, eggs, crispy bread crumbs.

sorry, not a veggie kind of guy...

There's a good recipe for banana slugs here:

Rickshaw Unschooling: Wild Food: Killing our Own Meat

poor sluggies :(

Gimme a break, I haven't had a good hoagie,
since I left Hatboro.

I can ship you one via FedEx or UPS next day. I'll be back in Hatboro on Monday and all next week, as usual.

refrigerated, of course...

I've shipped cheesesteaks to Nashville...not to Elvis, btw. I pack 'em with a slab of "dry ice" and bubblewrap. As long as the 'wiches are on the dry side they won't get soggy during transit.

OTOH, if I were to leave a hoagie laying on my kitchen counter overnight and well into the next day, I would have absolutely no reluctance eating it. I rest my case.

for me, gotta be fresh...

I like ripe and fermented.

there's an old joke in there somewhere...

a smelly old joke, probably.

no, nick, you ain't winnin' this one...

i'm starting to wonder about that mice elf

falettin' me?

beeeee buzzzzz

after watching and searching for film clips all day that turned to not even matter, I'll diverge and go back to yesterday's comment about "rat race" and that not-really related doctrination of Hitler, and well...I'm rambling.

we all be ramblin' sometimes...

I'm a ramblin' man...sometimes. Not right now since I'm digesting with my butt planted in this comfy big leather chair with my feet up on my ottoman, I just ate a great cheesesteak from Dakota Pizza, it had plenty of good steak, real good garlicy roasted peppers, and topped off with some damn good aged sharp provolone, on a long lightly toasted sesame crusted roll with just the right amount of crispness.

Later I might be ramblin' again....hopefully about some Maggie Moo's delectable creamy vanilla ice cream with roasted almonds folded into it.

Quite delicious.

just desserts...

brunch time

football time...

car show tomorrow...'ll be a nice day around here, too.

I think this is the first year I've ever watched more than 2 college football games in a season. I've watched 3 thus far, I think.

It'd help my easing viewing transition if I had a team, but I don't. I also don't like the whole BCS structure, or the fact that the world ends every weekend if a ranked team loses. What happened to "any given Sunday"? There's also something that irks me when I look at the box score and it displays 56-13 in regular intervals. And it blows my mind to accept the reailty that running backs on a good day, can have upwards of 350+ yards in a game.

Even though they say that the NFL is the "fastest violent sport in the world", I think it's the only football that is exactly my speed. (I also like to watch Australian Rules Football on random Friday nights, but I still don't fully comprehend it).

what happened to temple?

Is that a team?

yup, from near badnick's neighborhood...

and what happened to the igles?

I was at the Dublin Inn belting down a few brewskis when I saw the great dismal ending.

They lost to their rival?

I wouldn't call New Orleans a "rival"...more like a bunch of scum bucket hacks who just happened to get lucky

New Orleans Rascals?

go bills!!!

of Buffalo? They won against my team. :(




My teams are, in this order:

Washington Redskins (1a)
Tampa Bay (1b)

San Diego Chargers (I did a report and lived there during my youth)
Arizona Cardinals (Kurt Warner/Fitzgerald is main reason I follow them... also, I like perennial losers who finally win)

(both team have the same number of syllables if spoken)

Green Bay Packers (they just look fast in those uniforms)
Baltimore Ravens (ever since they were formed from the remnants of the Browns and in memory of the Colts, I liked them. it wasn't until last week that I adopted them as a team I'll always follow)

(I love the defensive side of the ball, and it seems both teams this year will have big plays)

the bills are my #1 team, and have been for many years...

the bucs are my next favorite team, and have been for about 10 years...

it was a tough game to watch, especially with asshole T.O., but still a good game...

about the Bucs:

Yeah, me too. Since the Dungy era, relegated to Jon Gruden and the Super Bowl run with defense.

about the Bills:

So, how'd you like those four consecutive Super Bowl losses?

oh, I forgot to say my "good riddance" to T.O. as the Philly door was slamming his ass outa here :thumbsup:

what team do you know has been to the super bowl four consecutive times?

That's a great reply. :thumbsup:

I'm also bewildered that the Eagles have been in the NFC championship game 5 or 6 times this past decade, yet still the faceless masses of Philadelphia keep calling McNabb a "bum", and to a lesser extent, they want coach Reid gone.


Also, I thought both of you were talking "college football" above, and I got lost fast. It wasn't until an hour or two later did I realize that NO and Philly played each other this past weekend.

I may have derailed your train of thought since unc mentioned "temple" which is a college in Philadelphia, but then I went on mumbling about something else.

I see. You weren't confusing me after all?

Also, I just realized this: the archives of podcasts that I'm rolling through - from summer of '07 up until July of this year - I am currently in the first week of Nov. in 2007 in my listening venture.

The realization: the "guys" will be talking about the tragic death of Sean Taylor soon, and it's the first time I'll be hearing it in its entirety. I'm left silent for a spell today in that ponderance.

I won't tell you the punch line lest I be a spoiler.

no hawaiian punch for you...

how 'bout a punchline?

A man walks into a bar with a duck under his arm.
The bartender asks: "Say, where did you find the pig?"
"It's not a pig, it's a duck," the man answers.
To which the barman replies: "I was talking to the duck."

midget walks under a bar...

Davey killed him a bar when he was only 3!

shouldn't you be out cleaning rooms or something?

oh, hi o. And hi unc, too.

thats housekeeping, ya twerp!

(although , the golf channel says a factor in correcting a nasty slice is adequate ball washing. And I thought "yea, phil just needs to stick his balls in the washer more often")

no charge for the advice. ( I am a giver........)
