Cole slwa. Cole Slaw. COLE SLAW!
Hot boneless wings
Biscuits(come with, I believe)
Mashed potatoes and gravy(my dog in this fight)

Bleu cheese - y'all can work it out.

Dihydrogen oxide encased in thin polyethylene membranes with screw caps - got it.

REMEMBER - the first person there stakes out the spot!

Anything else? Any other side dishes we need to get?

Are the DC folks jealous yet?

[piqaboo]

Boneless hotwings for me too.

Napkins, forks or spoons, wetwipes.

?Dessert?


GC - can you pick up something bluecheesie? Doesnt look like I'll get to the store since I was just there and I forgot. (dadnabit!) I'll pay ya back and keep the leftovers if you can find a jar of Marie's creamy blue or roquefort dressings.
The vinaigrette kind wont work well.


Or smash a couple triangles of danish blue into some mayo ( I can bring mayo if you bring the cheap blue cheese)

KFC used to have chocolate chip cakes that were pretty darn good for a fast food joint.

Anyone know if they still have them?

Organist selected program to show off the abilities of the particular instrument. He played very athletically & I enjoyed most of the selections. He was brave and included a large proportion of quiet pieces. This takes a certain something, given that the venue is in the flightpath for Lindberg Field (commercial airport). The crowd was 2x as large as expected. Its nice to see the concerts well attended. Someone else could publish the program (GC? Selma? OT?)

The Kentucky Fried was good, as were the homegrown tomatoes provided by Selma, and the dessert of dark chocolate provided by GC (also good choice of bluecheese dressings). The weather was perfect.

Altoid was excessively enthusiastic, so the Tenoid fambly wandered off a way to let her run and dance and squeal with delight while not bothering concert go-ers. Interestingly, even tho we were behind and below the ampitheatre, a security guard was asked to check on "the screaming child". From this I conclude its not only her parents who find her voice to be particularly carrying.

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

The organist played a Stravinsky piece, "Circus Polka" or some such which was very good (I could see the elephants), and "Night on Bald Mountain", which he called "Night on Bare Mountain" but I've seen Fantasia and I know what it's called and there's no use arguing with me because Disney is infallible. The evening ended with the first movement from Handel's Fireworks music.

There was also a lot of other selections from composers I didn't know and it was mostly energetic, technically demanding, and dissonant.

[GreatCarouser]

Yes, the 'Circus Polka' (dedicated to Barnum & Bailey as well as one of their 'elephants' who attended the premier) is a wonderful piece that transcribed well and was well served by the instrument. I thought this was also true of the Mussorgsky and the Handel. The pieces written specifically for the organ were more 'sturm und drang' affairs, lots of technical fireworks but not memorable on one listening. He did play a short 'Lied' that was pleasant. A Chopin transcription was scheduled but replaced by the short 'Lied' (in honor of the organist's lrecently deceased grandfather[this was a favorite of grandpa's , apparently]). Part of me was disappointed but another part feels Chopin just isn't 'organ' music.

A pox on churlish concertgoers at free events.

At outdoor, noisy venues, no less.

A Random quorum(no Selma) met for ribs then an outing to the Sandy Eggo Wild Animal Park Thrusday evening.

Equiribrium was acheived...

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

Selma was getting new bolts installed in her head, and was unfit for FatIvorization or WGASA excursions. Poor timing on my part, and I apologize abjectly. I will try to do better in the coming year.

Found the OT and Piq "missed calls" on my cell as I was exiting LinensNThings with my dandy new SpotBot. The next day. Go figure.

The SpotBot is a fine, fine invention. If you have cats, and the cats have hairballs, and your home has light beige carpeting, you too might like to look into acquiring a Spot Bot while they're on sale.

[piqaboo]

What is a spotbot, more precisely?

I have a gift cert to L'nT, light carpet, and a cat. The SB might be a good way to use the cert.

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

The SpotBot is a little Bissel machine that cleans a circular patch of carpet about 8 inches diameter. It comes with dandy preprogrammed "set-in" and "surface" spot cycles and I fill its little solution tank with water and carpetcleaner concentrate, set the business end of the Bot on the hairball memory, push the button, and leave. It vacuums and sprays and scrubs and vacuums and scrubs for about five minutes and then beeps for attention. The former hairball mark has been transformed into a clean damp circle on the carpet and there's dirty water in the other SpotBot tank.

It will do about three spots before I need to refill the "clean" tank and empty the "dirty" tank. There is also a manual mode, should you feel like doing the work yourself, but I somehow think I'm more into automated SpotBotting.

[barfle]

A clean spot on a carpet? Then you have to clean the whole house!

[jamiebk]

A clean spot on a carpet? Then you have to clean the whole house!

Yeah, I kind of agree...unfortunately, our carpets would end up looking polka dotted with "clean" spots accentuating the more uniform drab grunge

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

I'm a very lazy housekeeper. I pay one of the outfits that send out a couple of guys with a truckmounted power setup once or twice a year to reduce the background grunge - the little SpotBot is very nifty to clean up behind the cats in between commercial visits.

I am now up to eleven cleaned cat-astrophies. As the more outstanding ones are erased, I spot fainter ones.

Thomas Edward Peabody Pussycat resents the spotbot. It was sitting, inactive and dormant, too near his catnapping tree, and he whacked it severely, several times, right on the programming panel. Hit a button and turned it on. He hasn't moved so fast in years. I almost died of laughing so hard.
