Begs the question; "How is egg nog related to the Easter Bunny?"

Which reminds me of a famous quote by Mrs (Elmer) Fudd concerning Bugs Bunny; "Let 'im eat carrot cake!"

Interestingly succotash was invented by the Pilgrims and served at the first Thanksgiving which was celebrated on August 9th rather then in November as was ordered by George Washington who invented the four day weekend and cherry pie!!!!!

Johnny Appleseed invented apple pie which is one of the most American things there is and he didn't even get elected president or win the Nobel prize, go figure! :)

Interesting. I feel cherry pie is better than apple pie any day, so I can understand the people choosing George over Johnnie. Now if Johnnie had invented candy apples, his campaign might have gone better. :crazy:

Johnny did win an oscar though, somewhere in Ohio, he didn't have a fish tank to put it in, so he ate it for supper.

Jimmie Rogers invented Georgia Peaches and he didn't even get nominated. :angry:

My grandad had a big peach orchard and the gate hinges were all rusted up and it wouldn't open, so we called it a "climb it gate."

Mmmm... southern fried oscar. I had an oscar in a fish tank once. He ate all of the other fish in the tank.

I've known several cute Georgia peaches in my lifetime. Unfortunately, none of them found me to be very cute. I married a Florida girl instead, and she thinks I'm the best man on the planet, at least until I rip one.

I kinda enjoy this free form banter...

Regular cherry pie or cobbler??

There used to be a couple of places in San Antonio, Texas call 'big hips' and 'little hips'.

Big hips was a dance hall with lots of women with hips of all sizes. Little hips was more of a stag bar unless you had a girl friend who would go in for cheap entertainment.

The entertainment was furnished by piranha in a fish tank near one wall and a rattlesnake in another dry fish tank with a mesh wire top on the bar.

Some times you could get everybody watching the piranha and get hip to sneak the snake out of his cage and yell; "snakes out" and if any of the girls jumped on the table clap and say; "take it all off."

Anyway the big entertainment came on feeding nights which happend once each week, hip would give the snake a white mouse and the piranha a gold fish.

The snake would take it's time stalking the mouse until finally it would strike, then coil up and wait til the mouse quit quivering, then slither over and swallow it whole.

The piranha wouldn't waste any effort though, he would just pretend to be a rock and whenever the gold fish would swim by he would snip off part of a fin, until about Thursday night the little fish could wiggle all he wanted, he just barely would move through the water very slowly because of the lack of any fins, that's when (I think we called him 'Oscar) would swim over and finish off the feckless, finless fish with one big gulp.

I had a banter rooster one time who could whip 10 times his weight in red leghorns. :p

Homemade cherry pie.

(My son made the apple on top with crust trimmings, said it made it an apple/cherry pie, lol.)

Very creative. Whether apple or cherry, you still need either Bluebell or Mayfield vanilla ice cream to top it off.

I used to love chess pie until I chipped a tooth on a knight.

What's your favorite pie??

And something else that turned me off to algebra, they keep saying pie are squared, pie are squared, they had to be talking about cobbler.

Gee, it doesn't take two guesses to decide which side of the bed you got uo on this morning. :eek:k:

In trying to sidestep climate gate Barbi Boxer said; "We are facing global warming are we not?"

Hell no you moron, personally I always try to face away from global warming and if I am the source of that global warming it is just a natural fact to automatically be facing away, as it should be for anyone with their head on straight, realizing of course that you, Al, Nancy, John, Harry and Barry all have your heads on backwards.

Here's what the smartest woman in the world has to offer on the topic.

Just last Friday after Beecher said the check was in the mail I posted a proposal to you to invest in my Grinder's Switch frog gig factory, you must have missed that, the offer is still open though and if you decide not to invest then I just happen to have a few weather rocks left at the amazingly low price of $5 each! :)

Gotta' love free enterprise!!!!
