I KNOW where the "greasy spoons" are.
:-)
STOP THAT BLOODY BAZOUKI !!
Thanks for the ping!
I really really love cheese.
Pepperjack, SuperSharp Vermont Chedder, Brie, limberger, gouda, mozzarella--
It's a very good food.
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
I know!! I don't smoke (as you know - I've said it before) and I am against any kind of ban on smoking in any business that wants to allow it. The older I get, the more smoke bothers me, BUT I just don't go into a place that allows smoking if I don't want to. There are convenience stores here that do allow smoking by employess and have little tables for people to sit at and do scratch off or eat and allow smoking. When we got out to eat and the seating is limited, I'll just tell the waitress that whatever opens up first (smoking vs non)is what we will take and I certainly don't pitch a fit in bars (not that we get to go out much lately) The people who are whoo hooing over smoking bans are the ones who will be pitching a fit when they come for what they do - and it will come.
When they came for the employees of the oldest profession in the world, I did not speak out, as I had no interest in purchasing sex.
When they came for the purveyors of what was deemed to be "obscene" or "offensive", I did not speak out, as I was not a fan of entertainers like Lenny Bruce or Howard Stern.
When they came to ban the female mammary gland from TV, I did not speak out, because Brian Boitano told me not to.
When they came for the people who don't wear seatbelts, I did not speak out, as I always wore my seatbelt.
When they came for the marijuana smokers, I did not speak out, as I was not a marijuana smoker.
When they came for the steroid users, I did not speak out, as I was not a steroid user.
When they came for the pornographers, I did not speak out, as I was not a pornographer.
When they came for the gun owners, I did not speak out, as I was not a gun owner.
When they came for the gamblers, I did not speak out, as I was not a gambler.
When they came for the cigarette smokers, I did not speak out, as I was not a smoker.
When they came for the overweight and the obese, I did not speak out, as I was not overweight or obese.
When they came for the drinkers (again), I did not speak out, as I was not a drinker.
Then they came for me...and there was nobody left to speak out.
Wha? But chedder is the singular most popular cheese in the world?
Not round these parts...
I just bought a wonderful assortment of cheeses that I won't be able to look at for a week after reading this thread. The nanny-staters don't have to ban all the cheeses. Just put up an ad once a week, showing that picture, with the graphic description in post 34. Nobody would ever eat cheese again.
God almighty,no peanut butter advertising for kids.
Is it me or has the world gone stark,raving mad ????
