Yep....now...what parts of the human male anatomy just might be likened to 'franks and beans?" And, of that pair, which just might be considered the "beans?" And why might someone ask if "Human Beans" just might be likened to Rocky Mountain Oysters?

I came across this on Instagram. The seasoning could easily be applied to Microwave Popcorn, and would be useful on other things - potato chips, french fries, tater tots, chicken, pork, etc. Dill Pickle Popcorn Ingredients 1/2 cup popcorn kernels 2-3 tablespoons Avocado Oil 2 teaspoons dried dill weed 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 dried mustard powder 2 tsp nutritional yeast 1/2-1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste) 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2-3 tbsp pickle juice (added to a spray bottle) Instructions 1.Heat the avocado oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. 2.Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid.Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping. 3.While the popcorn is popping, mix the dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, dried mustard powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. 4.Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a moment to ensure any remaining kernels pop. 5.Add the pickle juice to a spray bottle and lightly mist the popcorn. Don’t overdo it because it will make the popcorn soggy. (You can also omit this step and mist with Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray) 6.Sprinkle the dill mixture over the popcorn and toss gently, coating it evenly with the seasoning.

Yeah...I worked at a drive-in that played the movie for two weeks. Now....just what might be a human "byproduct" that might just happen to be able to be called "beans?" As in "Franks and Beans." And just might be compared to RMOs?

Thanks!

Arli sells it.

Are you doing the dicker on your own against Big Corporate Insurance? If so, I suggest that you get a professional, even if it's something like The Barnes Firm.

WOW! Impressive.

Are those similar to Rocky Mountain Oysters?

Found on a mil-blog. "U.S. Navy ordnance inspector, Lieutenant W.W. Kimball, an advocate for small bore rifles, and especially the Lee bolt action adopted by the U.S. Navy, wrote this about the Martini-Henry in 1889 shortly after the Brits adopted what we call the .303 caliber Lee-Enfield: "England has lately adopted a small-bore - 0.303 inch calibre – modified Lee magazine rifle - a Lee with most of the strong points of the mechanism modified out - after making a long series of most amusing steps of development in order to reach the conclusion that this arm was suited to her needs. For some years she has been more than content with her famous 0.45 inch calibre single-loading Martini-Henry rifles and Boxer cartridges - guns almost as bad in principle of breech mechanism as our own [trapdoor] Springfields, and cartridges even worse than the United States regulation ones - and in her late “wars with peoples who wear not the trousers,” her soldiers have gallantly fired on the enemy when they knew full well what a horrible punishment they were to receive from the brutal recoil of their weapons, and have borne their torture with true English grit. An English officer informed the writer that the practice was a great aid to gallantry in battle in South Africa, for “when a fellow has been so brutally pounded by his own rifle half a hundred times, he don't so much mind having an assegai as big as a shovel stuck through him; it's rather a relief, don't you know.”"

It's hit and miss.

I spent half an hour trying to find this on YouTube and gave up. If you don't "do Facebook," oh well, your loss. https://www.facebook.com/reel/654813376800630?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

When you melt butter to put on your popcorn add some Vegemite! Really...it's pretty good. Or try Better Than Bouillon Soup Base or Seasoning. I also like sprinkling Nutritional Yeast for a cheesy flavor.

Gold Country Adventure and Exploration · Join Suggested for you · Donald Swanson · · Battle of Pine Tree Mine Today in Mariposa County, John Fremont is revered as a hero to some, great explorer, and founder, but in the eyes of many of the early gold miners who settled the region in the 1850’s, Fremont was their worst nightmare, a land grabber and claim jumper who was bent on having the wealth of the Sierra Nevada foothills to himself and to himself only. On July 9, 1858, a group of approximately 100 rightfully angry miners gathered together. They eventually named themselves the Hornitos League, and came up with a plan to attack and take over a well known gold mine owned by Fremont, the Pine Tree Mine. The ideal target, the entrance into the mine, was known as the Black Drift Tunnel. The Pine Tree Mine was only one of countless mines located along a gold bearing quartz vein some thought to be the mother lode. Although the Pine Tree Mine was first opened by a large company called the Merced Mining Co., many of the region's hard rock mines, and hundreds of placer claims, were operated by independent miners and small scale prospectors. The Merced Mining Co., which grew to a fairly large consortium funded with foreign investments, had one very important thing in common with the lone prospectors working small claims in Mariposa County. All of their claims were located within the boundaries of Fremont's Las Mariposas. Fremont believed that he alone had the right to mine the deposits located under his grant. Up to this point, however, he had been unable to keep the Merced Mining Co. and independent miners from prospecting on his land. He had opened the Black Drift Tunnel in order to compete in a race to take gold out of this rich deposit before someone else could do so first. There is no way to know for certain who the men were who formed the Hornitos League. It is likely that some were employees of the Merced Mining Co., which had a practical interest in keeping Fremont from removing gold from a mine that he had claimed earlier. It was just as likely that other members were independent miners, whose dreams and livelihood were jeopardized by what they viewed as Fremont's intentions to claim ownership of just about every strike in Mariposa County. In any case, the attack on the Black Drift Tunnel came to symbolize the miners support for the traditional mining law based on the principles of discovery and capture, as well as their opposition to Fremont and the threat he posed to that tradition. On the night of the attack, The Hornitos League armed themselves heavily, that way they were ready for any potential strong opposition. They also had hopes of easily accessing the inside of the mine and then defend their position. Due to this, they made their move at a time when the Black Drift Tunnel would likely be deserted. When they arrived at the entrance they found, to their surprise, that a small group of Fremont's employees, also well armed, were inside and were well aware of the incoming armed force. Inside of the mine was multiple miles of tunnels that could easily be defended from within. Faced with a very complicated resistance, the Hornitos men decided to lay a siege to the mine and starve out the defenders. As soon as Fremont learned about the siege at the Black Drift Tunnel, he set out to defend the mine with another small group of his men. When he arrived, the siege was settled into an extremely tense stalemate with Fremont's men in the mine, the Hornitos men at the entrance, more of Fremont’s men surrounding them, and even more Hornitos sympathizers blocking the roads out of the direct area. Tension increased even more so when the wife of one of Fremont's miners boldly forced her way into the tunnel with food and ammunition. The Hornitos League did nothing to stop her. Tensions within the mine rose even higher when rumors spread that the Hornitos men had found a back way into the tunnel. Everyone at the mine waited for the opposing side to kick off the fight, but no one did, causing the stalemate to carry on for several more days. "Fremont’s men were well fortified in their tunnels," reported the San Francisco Evening Bulletin, "and if attacked by the party which has surrounded them, there will be a terrible slaughter." Though tensions were high, the highly anticipated slaughter never occurred. On July 12, a group of men, calling themselves a committee on behalf of the citizens of Mariposa County, sent written terms to Fremont. If Fremont would withdraw his forces and quit mining the shaft, they would also withdraw, placing the mine in the hands of two neutral individuals until the California Supreme Court could finally decide who owned the mineral rights in the area. Fremont, calling the demands a flagrant violation of common right, would hear nothing of it. "I hold this property by law, by occupation, and even by mining regulations," he replied. "This demand you make upon me is contrary to all my sense of justice, and what is due to my own honor." Although the roads were blocked, young Englishman staying with the Fremont’s at that time managed to slip through the back country with a message to the governor. Time, along with rumors that the state militia was moving in the direction of Mariposa, weakened the Hornitos miners' resolve. The siege quietly dissipated, leaving Fremont in control of the mine. The siege of the Black Drift Tunnel was an event tinged with impending violence. It was a minor episode in a much larger conflict over how the land and minerals of California would be distributed and exploited. Incredible wealth, wild dreams, hope, and individual livelihood were a large part of the mix. The broader conflict was played out in a setting in which the stabilizing force of government was at best unsettled. In all, it provided an ideal recipe for violence. It is not surprising that violent outreaches over land and mineral rights did occur in the 1850’s and 1860’s in California. Given the circumstances, what may be more surprising is how relatively few incidents there were, and how quickly the violence dissipated. The siege at Black Drift Tunnel was more typical than not. Neither the siege nor the conflict that spawned it would be settled by force of arms, nor even by legislation. The conflict was ultimately settled by the judiciary system in courts of law and it was settled by judges playing fast and loose with formalities of law and principles of equity. -The Battle of Pine Tree

I fell into that gap being born between 29 March of 1957 to 31 Dec. 1959 that didn't have to register for selective service.

I like the sandbags on the arresting wires. Kudos to Eugene. SIERRA HOTEL AERONAUTICS 33m · January 19th, 1911; Eugene Burton Ely performed the first successful landing and take-off from a naval vessel. Pictured: Ely in the Groove after calling the ball with his Curtiss Model D biplane about to trap on board the USS Pennsylvania, anchored in San Francisco Bay, CA. Shortly after this record setting flight, Eugene broke regulations, with a history of high speed passes over five aerodromes, and one admiral's daughter! After writing checks his body could not cash, Eugene reportedly was forced to move to the South Pacific now employed by Imperial Airways transporting rubber K-9 excrement out of Hong Kong www.Sierrahotel.net

I've found that they are pretty much the same. Orville gets you a few less unpopped, but I don't think it's worth the extra cost over Jolly Time or house brand. Or .. Put about 1/3 to 1/2 cup kernels in a glass bowl, add salt, cover with a microwave safe plate and cook on high until the popping stops. Bowl and plate will be very hot so use hot pads to pull them out. Transfer to a cool bowl and add whatever toppings you like. You can do the same in a brown paper lunch sack. For between $10 and $20 you can buy a popper made for the microwave.

. But there were single shot pistols still around.

On this day in 1915, a spontaneous wedding took place at Mena Camp in Egypt. Private Philip de Quetteville Robin and Miss Nellie Irene Honeywill had known each other in Australia. Phil was an accountant before he enlisted in the AIF and joined the 10th Battalion. He was well known for his Australian Rules football skills and represented South Australia in interstate games. Nellie was living in London at the time of the First World War, although she had formerly resided in Adelaide. Their plans of reuniting in England were disrupted when the AIF was redirected to Egypt while en route to Europe. A couple of weeks later, Nellie turned up in Cairo, and the two made a spontaneous decision to get married. Special permission was granted for the wedding by the commanding officer of the 10th Battalion and the necessary preparations were quickly made. The officers’ mess tent was handed over for the event, with the mess servants converting it so that it had the appearance of a church. Cake, wine, and the obligatory showering of rice were all provided by the officers of the 10th Battalion. After a short honeymoon, Nellie returned to England. A few months later Phil was among the men who landed on Gallipoli on 25 April. Phil was killed in action three days after the landing. Seven months later, in London on 19 November 1915, Nellie and her infant son died soon after she had given birth. Image: Courtesy of the State Library of New South Wales.

Is it? On my phone it looks galvanized. I guess I owe Alpo an apology. Sorry, Alpo!

Let me guess, that small one has 10,000 times the storage of the biggest.

Oh boy! I get to nitpick Alpo! That looks more like electric conduit than plumbing.
