I don’t remember exactly when it happened (it must be hidden by my subconcious), but I remember the taste it left in my mouth. The metallic taste that reminds of the can enclosing the green beans, the foil that somehow remained attached to your leftovers and contacted your fillings while you were chewing on tomatoes, the battery one of your “friends” in grade school convinced you to touch with your tongue.
Coriander, the spice, adds a wonderful flavor to certain dishes. In its herbal form, it is the herb that Satan himself uses to torture souls in the lower levels of Hell.
I am speaking, of course, of cilantro. It lures you in by disguising itself in a parsley suit until it’s too late.
You think to yourself, “How bad can this be? It’s just a decoration, a garnish.”
That is how vile this herb is. It knows that if you were to know what it is beforehand that you would throw it in the nearest fireplace and kill it with fire.

‘Fast and Furious’ Flashback: Big Sis Brags About Weapons Tracing Program In 2009
Napoletano emphasized how the DOJ will prosecute thwe arms dealers wh were selling the arms to los traficantes. First off, is it the dealers that are arming the narco lords? Nope. Eric Holder, however, seemed content to do so. So prosecute him.

Obligatory: The Mitt Romney lip-reading clip
The video is from badlipreading.com and it’s pretty funny.
That would be Shannon. 😉
#76; how the night turns out is yet to be seen. Rest assured he won’t be drunk. I found the following paragraph to be pretty funny. In 2012, I will be writing breathlessly about how America will be engulfed in flames should Mitt Romney not be elected president. I will write endlessly about his infallibility and his impeccable conservative credentials.… Read more »
Oh, I thought you had a scoop. 😛
Well, he is mortal but I picked that number simply to emphasize my point. But not only is a lack of reading NOT one of them, neither is him posting on a topic without a sound understanding as to what he’s talking about.
Tedtam #61; the lady who had been following her since she told her what she was going through had paid for her items. Sis just hugged her neck, unable to express her gratitude in words. I told Sis that perhaps her check not processing was God’s way of allowing that woman to express her charity, and to give Sis a… Read more »
Texpat has a thousand shortcomings?
How to shuck an ear of corn.

If I had to guess the top one thousand weaknesses and/or shortcomings Texpat had, lack of reading would NOT be one of them

I’m sure that was also true at Reliant Stadium last weekend hosting the Battle of the Piney Woods.
Lets’ see who can solve this one. Whats red, 100 yards long, and has 8 teeth?
Give up?…….
The front row at Razorback Stadium.
He just walked up to me, spoke into the phone Google Camaros and up popped Camaros on Google.
Youngest son has been waiting for the new iphone to come out for months, odered it as soon as they were taking them.

Oh well, Hunnert. Shabbat Shalom, Y’all
where is anybody?
#97 Adee
That’s funny and perfectly believable.
#86 Texpat, Now that tale sounds like something from an Irish wake. Dad’s family are Irish with a dash of English way back. He told of a wake for the brother of a family friend at the family home to which his folks brought him and his older brothers to pay respects. He was only 6 or 7 and was… Read more »

Great, great, funny stuff. I never get tired of listening to it.
Herb from hell.
Later Hamsters. Gotta go tend to my wounds. Nothing a a tall glass of Bourbon can’t help though.

Thanks Katfish. Ditto the Ozark/Hill Country.

#90 HOg: I think the one you are talking about has to do with the Arkansas inbred (but I repeat myself) and a cajun queen from Bayou Lafourche.
#90 – Hey HF ltns! (and as long as your beloved Ozarks remain as gorgeous as our Hill Country……………I’ll make all efforts to restrain myself———————besides all the other posters have used all the jokes I know)

Is that the one about where Gators come from?
#85 HF
One of the first postings here after LST closed down was “Some of us’ns are slidin’ in here on Hammy’s couch.” Someone else, I think it was GJT said “We’re gonna need a bigger couch.”
#86 Texpat, Yup. Being from Alabama, I could/can relate to Lewis Grizzard and Jeff Foxworthy, when they talked about their kin-folk, they were also talking about my people. 😉
Oh, and if anyone doesn’t know they were both from Georgia.
#85 Hogfan: I had one working about reunions and condoms but the impending whack from Grannyamous askeeeered me ofn it.
#84 SD Remember the Grizzard story called “Sittin’ Up With the Dead” when he and his father and friend had to sit up with his dead great uncle in the casket after the wake. Riga mortis had set in before they found him so the undertaker had tied the body down in the casket, but in the middle of the… Read more »
Ding ding ding….Texpat wins today’s obscure quote award.
Too bad the money will have to be used to buy Buck Hamster a new comfy couch.
The old one just broke from all the piling on.

Don’t bend over in the garden Mama because them taters got eyes.
Lewis Grizzard.
I’ve read all of his books. Too bad he died way to young…..45, I think.
It has lots of branches, but they keep weaving back and reconnecting to the trunk.

You must have been a fan of the late Lewis Grizzard.

Splendid, old chap!

Heh In 2011, Republicans are sitting at the end of the bar, and it’s 2 a.m. Ryan and Christie have already gone home, and the GOP is looking for someone to keep it company. As Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You” plays, Mitt winks at them from the other end of the bar. Right now, he’s the best… Read more »
Another use for PVC pipe.
Cool.
#72 Pyro: Limbaugh just did a piece on that. The Lords’s Army is Christian fighting against the oppression of the moooooooooooooooooooooooslim majority. The lying mooooooooooooooslims (but I repeat myself) is accusing the Lord’s Army of raping and looting, etc. This is not the first time that the USA has taken up arms against Christians in support of mooooooooooooooooooslims. It is… Read more »

How do we know the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas?
If it had been invented elsewhere it would have been a teethbrush.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Doing the Snoopy Happy Dance again today in this glorious weather. Bright full Moon and 52 at 6, almost could be described as crisp. Clear blue sky, gentle breeze, absurdly low humidity (20%) and windows wide open at 1 pm makes this a perfect Fall day. Thank you, Lord.
Did you hear about the Razorback that moved to Oklahoma? Increased the average IQ of both states.
