Joe versus the volcano Apollo 13

Well, at least he's in the fire. It's not like he's out walking around in the living room. Since he's in the fire, you reckon he got sent up from hell?

Something that has astounded me all through this thread is the many repetitions of the term "white gravy". Never heard that before. That stuff is milk gravy.

I first found them at Sam's. Box of 20 for dollars and change. In the frozen food, of course. I've also seen them at Publix. And I assume that if they sell them at Sam's they will sell them at Walmart. They are good. Edit: I like how otto removed the number in front of the word "dollars". 12 dollars and change.

Never heard of doing that - that sounds like sweet corn, "sweet niblets". But I have (her to put in creamed corn in it - damn otto, HEARD OF PUTTING CREAMED CORN IN IT). Ain't never tried it, but then I don't make cornbread all that often.

Never heard them called anything but hush puppies. "Pups". Hush puppy got onion in it. You put onion in your cornbread?

You don't put sugar in pups? Or you don't put pups in cornbread? 🤔

My scoutmaster told me one time -- we were in summer camp and the latest thing to do was come up behind somebody and grab the garter tassel on them long socks and pull it down. Make your sock fall. And we're headed down for breakfast - we ate breakfast and we ate lunch in the mess hall, and we cooked supper in camp - and somebody come up behind him and grab the tassel, and he backhanded him off the trail. Then he picked him up and apologized, and told him "don't come up behind me anymore". He told me that he does not allow people to come up behind him like that. He said he was in a bar one time and somebody come up and tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned around the guy punched him in the mouth. Then he apologized - I'm sorry, you're not who I thought you were. And Bob knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the face. But he said he does not like people to come up behind him anymore. And that poor little Boy Scout paid the price for that man in the bar hitting Bob in the mouth.

I know this when that guy was making his cornbread to dip his rib in, along with the corn meal he put in wheat flour. And that kind of makes me wonder if the people that raise hell about sugar and cornbread also get upset about wheat flour. Because that ain't corn so why is it in cornbread? Of course, if you don't put no wheat flour in it and you don't put no sugar in it, all you got is hoecake.

I see otto has changed some of my words, and added a couple of his own. But he hasn't drastically changed the gist of my post, so I'm not going to correct it.

If I was deleting a newsfeed, I caught a glimpse of the name Kate Jackson. That made me curious to see if she was still around so I did a search. Yes she is. 76 years old. And I was reading the wiki article about her and came across this: Education: University of Mississippi (withdrawn) Birmingham Southern College (withdrawn) American Academy of Dramatic Arts And I just wondered if withdrawn meant dropped out. Yes she's a rich famous important television and movie personality. Not no "no count College dropout", so they probably would not want to use that term. I can't think of anything else that could mean, though.

I have seen Aborigines in two movies. In Quigley they were shorter than Tom Selleck, but most people are shorter than Tom Selleck. And in Crocodile Dundee they were a little shorter than Paul Hogan, but certainly not "pygmy short". The blacks in both of those movies, based solely on their hair, were not African, so I assume they were actual Aborigines.

Ginex is quite cheap at Capital - the small primers anyway. And they they pay hazmat, so that knocks another 45 or $50 off the price.

What y'all reckon the second generation Colt in about 98% condition would go for? On another board, this fellow wants to know anything we can tell him about his gun. It's a second generation Colt in excellent condition. He bought it from a co-worker who had only fired it once. Posted pictures. It's a US Firearms Rodeo. But since his buddy sold it to him as a second generation Colt, I'm just kind of wondering how badly he got scammed. This is a D prefix gun,

Interesting comment by the police. More critically, it can be mistaken as an attempted break-in, potentially prompting dangerous or defensive responses from homeowners." An attempted break in? It can be mistaken as? Somebody kicks in my front door, there is no mistake, and it is not an "attempted" break yet. Maybe if the police would quit being so namby pamby and would say something like, I don't know, "kicking in someone's door will end your butt up in jail, if you're lucky, or in a hole in the ground if you're not!!"

I think Cicero. Something like that. I think I remember him saying "never gamble with a Ciceroan when life is on the line".
