Make That a Huckaburger With Some Global Warming on the Side

It's "Dixville Notch," Debbie. Perhaos you were thinking of either Knoxville or Fort Knox, both located down South? And fried pickles are representative of Southern vernacular cuisine in general, not just of Arkansas.

Analogizing global warming to a fried pickle is an OUTRAGE!

These media types seem to just love primary season. All of them have that giddy (almost crazy) look in their eyes and who wouldn't judging by the fried pickles (or oreos, twinkies, Mars bars, etc.), corn dogs and Huckaburgers.

(Not to mention being away from home for weeks on end.....)

(Oh, and New Jersey, I accept your apology.)

"Prof," the deep-fried Mars bars are much more typical of Scottish cuisine than of America's. But I accept your apology for the misidentification on behalf of Gaelic speakers everywhere. Perhaps you too have been on the road too long?

"cathar," I accept your apology, but I was accepting the apology given yesterday from the Great State of New Jersey......

(I'm sure baristanet will have a post on this subject later today........).

Regardless, I accept! (Now let's "move on.")

Nothing can top fried cheese.

How I love scraping that glorious fried cheddar mess from my cast iron skillet after making a grilled cheese sandwich. I intentionally allow cheese to dribble from the edges of the marbled rye onto the sizzling black surface of the skillet.

Now wash that down with ice cold Coca Cola and you're really living!

The Deep Fried Pickle (political version) became a burning issue to the national press corps at a joint in Little Rock called Doe's Eat Place during Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign. (As I recall, it was on a particularly slow news day.) I am not aware of any connection between DFPs and Orval Faubus, political or otherwise, unless you are referring to the Governor's general dyspepsia, which DFPs will certainly give you if you eat enough of them...

Fried pickles aside, feel free to talk about who you think will win, and what it means for the election ahead.

"cathar," this one is for you via your Scottish peeps:

Deep Fried Pizza

"Fried pickles aside, feel free to talk about who you think will win, and what it means for the election ahead"

Too depressing. I'll stick with the fried pickles and I don't even really like them.

Are you trying to elevate the discussion, Debbie? Is this part of some new resolution?

Why, may I ask, are all of these apologies being tossed around?

For my Memphis peeps:

Elvis Cooks. (And just watch how the King goes to the frying pan.... Wonder bread and Skppy!! Yum....)

(This is as far as I'm willing to go to "elevate" this discussion, because history has showed me that at least here, folks are in their corner and not really listening to one another.)

She'll eventually crush him with oppo research. These are the Clintons after all. (they probably have a video of him snorting coke when he was 20) But she'll tarnish herself in the process. She'll still win the General Election if Huckabee is the nominee.

I heard that Clinton's researchers were going to phone South Carolina voters and ask them if they would be more or less willing to vote for Obama if they heard that he fathered an illegimate child of another race!

Oh, wait a minute. That's what Bush's people did to McCain in 2000! My bad!

And Bush won. So.....

So, he was (or is) then, "tarnished"?

..... Stop with the cryin' and get with the callin'.

I'm on the phone now.

By the way, prof, I hope you enjoy your apology as much as I enjoyed the one Tony Blair offered my folks a couple of years back. Seems they feel bad about the shootings and hangings and the famine and all that.
I know it meant a world of difference to me to know that they really, really cared!

cro- the morning news cycle seems to have left you. Here are your talking points:

1) NJ's apology for Slavery (which is now the Baristatnet lead, so you're up on that)
2) Hillary was (possibly) crying yesterday because she is so (or should be) "committed." Google it and watch the video. So my comment was directed at her to make those calls in South Carolina. Or are you on the Hillary Team and making the calls?

Thanks prof. I'm glad to have you around to point the way. Of course, since my earlier post about South Carolina referred to phone calls, and you then used calls in a later post, I should have been able to follow your Bil Keane-like map to your intention.
My, how I pity those unfortunate students who are forced to try to sort through your mental maze.
No, I'm not a Hillary supporter, but I am amused at the idea that "the Clintons" are the designers and masters of rough and tumble politics, American style.

I'm sure my "students" appreciate your pity.

But considering how you have elevated your writing since I called you out on it, consider yourself one of them. (Remember: a good teacher uses all manner of persuasion to get students to learn.)

So, draw your pity inward, son.

Ah poor prof, still believing that he has "called" me on something. There is no limit to the amount of self-delusion living within the prof.
My teachers, prof, were far different than you are. That is probably why I have the rudiments of grammar and logical thought that seem so lacking in your case. But, and here my teachers may be faulted, they were not able to impart to me the gigantic dose of "self-esteem" which you have taken in, and that enables you to continue to assert that you are a smart guy when all the evidence points to the contrary.
Anyway, boyo, have a wonderful apology day -- and don't you let these tough issues get you down. There's always someone on YouTube to tell you what to think.

(As the prof tries hard to understand the musing of cro, he remembers that students like when teachers attempt to "understand" their sometimes indiscernible statements. Unfortunately though, for cro, the prof is left with a simple statement:

Whatever dude......)

As for YouTube telling me? You do understand it's called "YOU"tube because you control it?

Your computer doesn't talk to you or tell you what to do, does it?

I see, prof. So if "you" control the YouTube, I guess that means that you are the author and producer of the gems you've sent our way? Well, that makes you even more intellectually suspect than I thought.
Of course, you might try to braoden your view somewhat -- perhaps read a book, a newspaper, a magazine. Between bum rushes to the dance floor, that is.
And don't worry about not understanding my "musings", prof. You should probably continue to read at your own level. With that in mind, a quick review of laser mike's posts should be the appropriate material.

(The prof is working hard to "braoden" his view).

cro, you make this all too easy, son.

And really, the "read a paper" argument is funny from the guy who at 10:51 asks why are these "apologies being tossed around?".

As I said, don't just wait for the Barista's to tell you what's news, find it yourself (read a paper, the NYT comes by 6am.... Check cnn.com...)

Wow, the prof is reduced to noting, as he calls them, "typos and little mistakes". Actually, prof, it wasn't a typo. It is part of the "venacular", as you say.
I didn't know why you and cathar were tossing around apologies, not realizing that you were somehow (and here we go back to the clarity issue with you, as always) trying to link to the slavery issue.
Why don't we just call it a day, prof, and just live with the knowledge that you're an idiot? (Don't hate....)

As I've said before cro, you make me sad at how you are so quickly reduced to name calling.

And to think a few weeks ago, I was thinking better of you.

Oh, well. There's always tomorrow.

(And when you use "don't hate" .... it just feels wrong. Kinda like THIS GUY.

One clarification, croiagusanam: I apologized for nothing this morn on this site. But the "prof" in his addlepated way tried to make it sound as if I had. He's himself been at the deep-fried Mars bars again, I'm guessing, and dousing them with malt vinegar.

btw, The prof enjoyed your Pretzel logic detailing why you didn't know what all the apologizing was about.

Again, most funny considering your "read a paper" comment.

Thanks for more of the usual, prof. But, should "Pretzel" be capitalized?
(Don't hate...)

I would be careful about getting between cro and prof during mating season, cathar. And apparently they've both been hitting the Viagra pretty hard. Don't forgot you guys can call the 800 after four hours...

Oh brother, walleroo, I'm in trouble! I thought it was "take four" and then call the 800 number!That's what I did! I won't be able to get in the car for a couple of days now!

Hey, did ya hear the news...I didn't make Mr Blackwell's worst dressed list again.
