how many times did you listen to that choir, Salsa???
Maybe 3 or 4 times--listened to it once when it was first posted here, played it for dinner guests Saturday night, played it once more for someone else...it doesn't take much for me to get the music-in-the-head earworm thing. I think I posted here once about that. I'm always giving Chris the song report---"Now it's "Casey Jones"! Now it's "Tiny Bubbles!". It's often stuff I really hate and wouldn't listen to voluntarily. At least I know the form my madness will take, when it comes (or maybe it already has...).
Thought about posting this in Humor, but realized there really isn't any cycling humor in it. I really have to find out what that accordian player's name was...:D
From the Manitoba Herald, Canada (a very underground paper):
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has
intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop
the illegal immigration.
The actions of President Bush are prompting the exodus among left-leaning
citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with
Bill O'Reilly.
Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology
professors, animal- rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields
at night.
'I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood
producer huddled in the barn,' said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose
acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and
hungry. 'He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.
When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show
him my screenplay, eh?'
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher
fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that
blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. 'Not real effective,' he said. 'The
liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't
give milk.'
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals
near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them
across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.
'A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions,' anOntario
border patrolman said. 'I found one carload without a drop of drinking
water. 'They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.'
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often
wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have
been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps
in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR
races.
In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of
crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to
buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young
vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began
stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como
and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s.
'If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we
get suspicious about their age,' an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating
an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon
movies.
'I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't
support them,' an Ottawa resident said. 'How many art-history majors does
one country need?
that's quite funny. and I'm a liberal!
Shoot, and I was planning on going there too...
Canada has always been my default.
So Salsa.... what do we do now?
I agree...very clever, oh so true and when is the TE-libber ex-pat launch??!!Quote:

I wonder if we could help them along with this.Quote:

where? you making that up?
ha, guess that's why we have both helmets and beanies, eh? hide the evidence...until I'm ready to go au naturel on my head...
I think a TE henna or highlights party might be very interesting!
I doubt that Canada would want to invade the US..Sorry but why waste our resources..:rolleyes:
I would expect the US to invade Canada as we do supply your northern states with water...
C
Noooooo!!! I'm not ready for serious political discussion. Reality is bad enough already in that regard.
Let's get back to the TE highlights party idea. That sounds like fun! When I was in 8th grade and a little hoodlum chick, a bunch of us had one of those "let's put blonde streaks in our hair" parties. Luckily, it didn't work. My parents would have sh*t. Now I get to do it without parental censure. I take my fun wherever I can find it...
Anyone know how to do those little hair wraps with colored thread and beads? I used to love those.
Making this tonight. mmm. We need to make a recipe compilation for TEQuote:

I'm a big fan of crock pot cooking, but I never tried putting the chicken in frozen. Does it get cooked through?
Here was last night's crock pot creation:
Chicken Jambalaya
Cut a pound of chicken into chunks then stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken to crock pot along with three cups of chicken broth (or stock, if you have it) and a can of tomatoes (or chopped fresh if you have them).
Throw in about a cup each of chopped green pepper, onion, and celery (mmm, all that good aromatic stuff). Add a couple of minced garlic cloves, a couple of teaspoonsful of Cajun or Creole seasoning.
Finally, add a half-pound of smoked sausage, and a cup or so of brown rice.
Cook on high for 4-4 1/2 hours. Hot, hearty, healthy.
Uh Kit, please take it easy on the peppercorns. Thanks. :o :)
yeah yeah. I know,or I'll hear you brutzing all night. :rolleyes: ;)
Uh, if you're in Canada that day, you'll be busy at the mall - the 26th is one of the biggest shopping days of the year!Quote:

My blond highlight disappeared with my last haircut and I need to get it done again. I am surprised at how many grey streaks I have now though. They seem to be a nice silvery, not-too-noticeable colour so it's ok for now - I think.
"Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology

Guilty!!!! :D
(grew up within walking distance of the border. I'm guilty of many things... and by Senate Bill 1956 I can be jailed just for thinking the thoughts I think and posting this.)
We need to lobby for some kind of amnesty law for ourselves...
Hmmm, a funny thing happened when Kit tried to cook today... :rolleyes:
Thanks for that wonderful recipe Knot. Unfortunately, Kit didn't follow it too closely. It was... um, er... :eek: :eek: She's choking me now so I'm all done typing. :p She went through a lot of trouble today to make me a great meal. I love her so much. I really do. :) :) :D
G'night TD, OTA, QM 2 and that drift that apparently can not be named... :rolleyes:
I want to do something wholly frivolous. I just haven't figured out what yet.
I've sneezed 5 times in the last couple minutes. Howzat for frivolous?:p
(PS, the "unnamed" thread appears to be "Whats a Thread Drift?")
X its the thought that counts. A+++ for trying kit.
For the record, X's chili was excellent (as always). And she wonders why I don't cook that often! ;) I may be able to salvage the chicken/ginger/garlic/rice brick by adding a bunch of chicken broth and treating what I have as a 'concentrate'. hmm. Kinda forgot that rice sorta doubles in volume as it's cooked. That was a learning experience.
X liked her present. :D
Not much for plans today. Gonna finish my coffee and give Tai his playtime. He's doing better every day. No cysts anymore at all. little white things swimming in the water that I assume are the later stage of the bug, detaching to diversify (and then getting killed by the saline/formalin/malachite--- MUAHAHAHAHA) Full tank change tomorrow. Gotta figure out where to put the gallon of water to settle and age a little...
Heading to the motorcycle shop for parts and to the video rental place to return our strange selection... (Shrek III, Pi-arrrrr-ates of the C-arrrrr-ibbean, Wanda Sykes, Reservoir Dogs) I always get a little thrill picking weird stuff altogether and seeing what the clerks' reactions are.
It's the little things in life...
Where do you get those big giant bows they always show on new cars in the xmas ads? Car dealers?
I want to put one on my ten year old jeep and make the neighbors jealous.
Probly won't be fooling too many people.
