;;;;
I've been to Louisianna & I've been to Texas & had awesome Bar-b-Q there, There's also a great blues & Bar-b-Q joint on Navy pier in Chicago... they have about 5 different styles of bar-b-Q going on there, unbelievabley good.
Not like out west Canadian Bar-b-Q...where it's landed on a red hot flame, you count to 10 or so flip it, do the same & then walk it over to your plate
But I was talking about pie.
But that pie was the best, some kind of chocolate confection/crumb crust, a multi chocolate and ...I don't know filling, but it was to die for, covered in some kind of whipped different choclate with lumps of sweet chocolate (I think there were a couple of kinds) & topped with drizelled chocolate caramel & other stuff...lumps & flakes . ! ! !

Just think of a chocolate explosion in your mouth & brain at the same time >>>>>>P O P<<<<<<<<
Calling it awesome, just isn't a good enough description.

All of a sudden I feel old.

SCARY

I feel old because I don't mind how early they start Christmas anymore. I promised myself if they just waited for Halloween to be over I'd be cool with it. They gave us Sunday as a bonus so now I have nothing to complain about. Christmas!

It's still too early for me.

I went out last night and everythihng was decorated for Christmas, Christmas music playing everywhere....and Im just not ready yet.

thats 2 months away!

December 1st I will be ready.

On the topic of Missisippi mud pie and any related sexual positions....yes.

I've you beat.

When my store opened two years ago, they had all the christmas stuff on the shelves ready for sale... in the middle of September. I don't remember how early we put it out last year, but the Christmas set has already been out in our store now for the last few weeks, right next to the halloween stuff.

I don't care what religious holiday people like to celebrate, as long as they enjoy themselves...but (there's that damn word 'but' again)
I personally would perfer to see all the decorations, & christmas type stuff not come out until after Rememberence Day. All the commercialism, I personally find distasteful at a time we should remember those who've died in armed conflicts... so that Governments of today can continue to water down or outright remove our rights & freedoms. While they continue to over pay themselves & accept whatever lobbying funds & plum positions from huge business interests that they serve while in office !

Yes I'm bitter & all the Mud Pie in the world can't sweeten the mess governments continue to make.

I've always thought the commercialization of Christmas was a bit over the top, especially in light of how early we put out Christmas stuff where we work. But you raise an excellent point about how all this overshadows Veteran's day.

I helped one of my coworkers load out a hot water heater for a customer the other day, and while talking to the guy, I found out that he was a retired veteran of three wars; WW2, Korea, and Vietnam with 101st Airborne Division. I asked him what business he had being among the living... thanked him for his service to our country... and bid him God Bless. It made his day. :-D

The devil's got a 10 pound pineapple with your name on it, bub.

Seven, why didn't you tell us your latest game was out? I saw it the other night in submissions, but didn't get a chance to play. Think I might go do that now.

I'm tits-deep in a final project. Might go to the lab tomorrow to use some software. Can't do it here since it's proprietary to the university. However, Windows Vista did give me a major advantage on one part of the project. With the Snipping Tool, I didn't have to waste time cropping screenshots or anything. I just took what I wanted, pasted it into my project, and boom, I was done.

Of course I'll need to go to the lab on the day I need to clean my apartment. Figures.

What degree are you working on now?

At 11/7/09 01:07 AM, SevenSeize wrote: What degree are you working on now?

Applied intelligence. Analyst work, mostly I've been studying Paraguay all trimester, and now everything's coming together. Part of it is compiling previous work, but a lot of this is new, too. I wouldn't have to spend so much time doing one thing if I hadn't got a lousy grade on it before. Bleh. The software I need to do one part of the project is proprietary, so I need to head to the lab tomorrow to use it...but I also need to fit in grocery shopping and cleaning. Double bleh.

I also need to prepare a presentation. It'll be on Thursday. I don't even wanna think of it until I get the written project part done. I think if I get that done the presentation will come easily.

Paraguay?

Oh yeah. Been doing it all trimester. Of course, right before I hand everything in is when Lino Oviedo decides to start causing trouble...

I just got my military map of Paraguay back in my inbox not too long ago and got a really good grade on it. There are a few things I don't agree with in the grade, but when I only lost two points, maybe I shouldn't beleaguer the point.

Since my Spanish is not too good, I've been reading Google Translate versions of all the newspapers and sometimes the translations are funny, like "ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING IN YOUR NIECE." The only issue with the newspaper is that every country seems to have a "La Nacion" and I need to remember which is the right one.

Overall though, if we have to pick world regions, I'd like to stay with Latin America.

Here you go, folks, my new pupdog.

Before I post this, let me just point out that this dog is at his racing weight. Nobody starved him or anything - this is an ideal weight for a current racer. We will probably allow him to gain 3-5 lbs, so that only the last two ribs show, in his new lifestyle as a couch potato. So please don't tell me I need to feed my dog.

He is in his crate right now with the door open, sitting quietly. He was panting some earlier, and he seems much more nervous inside the house than in the yard. Overall, though, I think he is adjusting well.

Congratulations! I'm glad that dog has found a happy home.

Now comes the fun part, training it......

Not too concerned about that. He already has excellent leash manners, took an epic piss in the yard and has had no problems in the house so far, and has ignored the cat.

At 11/7/09 05:20 PM, SkunkyFluffy wrote: Here you go, folks, my new pupdog.

He looks like he's just waiting for something to chase.

Nice looking dog Skunky.
You say he's fine with the cat...how's the cat feel about the dog ?

That's a very nice looking dog, skunky! Glad he's adjusting well. Lets hope the cat doesn't think of him as a new walking scratching post

Charlie is definitely less upset than he was when we brought my sister's hyper 4-month-old puppy to visit, that's for sure.

He seems more affronted that the dog won't pay attention to him, as though it should be petting him like any other visitor to the house.

How wrong is it that the second I read this I thought up funny captions for the picture?

Husker has decided that pizza and chicken wings are much more appealing than kibble and boiled rice.

We joked about calling him George, but I dated a guy named George in college and we're still friends, so Steve and I thought that might not be a good idea ;)

biiiiiiig dog...

One of the rescue volunteers has a boy named General who is 92 lbs. He is the biggest greyhound anyone will probably ever see.

Husker was the second-largest of the dogs that went to new homes today. I don't have his exact weight, but I'd say he's probably 75 lbs or so.

I don't have to bend down to pet him ;)

Oh, so he is that big. I thought you were... uhm... short.

Never assume, people. NEVER.

It's still a pretty big dog if it's head can read around between you hips or belly button.
Today, there were some pit bull puppies that were just adorable. God, how I wanted one... but-- I wouldn't buy a dog like that because I would be too busy to tame it.
