Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005summertiiiime and the trolling is easy
Sorry for the earworm everyone :^) Seems to me that there are one or two folks who are delighting in stirring up trouble in the group by alternately preying our collective insecurities and trying to get a reaction with offensive posts. I've been sooo tempted to say something snippy and have managed to catch myself, just in time, with the reasoning that a reaction is just what they're after. We, as a group, have done really well getting rid of pests like this in the past with a combination of the wonderful Troll-B-Q and ignoring them. Admittedly, these trolls are a bit more persistent than previously and are having a *fabulous* time stirring up trouble in The Other Group, but if we're as persistent as they are, maybe they will get bored and leave (or disappear when school starts again).

Jill??? ;> Hugs, CatNipped I finally just figured out why I've been seeing all the recipes when it doesn't seem there's a reason! DUH! But instead of that and wasting bandwidth, why not just ignore them. I'll see something and when I click on it, discover it's a troll. But there will still be 10+ replies, responding to the troll. But whatever...

DUH! Shirley, It is part of the tradition of this group to post recipes for a Troll BBQ. See section 6.4.6 of the FAQ. It is pretty entertaining reading. http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm Enjoy, Diane >> Sorry for the earworm everyone :^) >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > CatNipped Crustacean "Cocktail" (a chilled appetizer) from Jarret's Restaurant, Memphis, TN 1-1/2 c.

I never thought about that before, but you're right. Hmmmm, I'll have to think on it a bit. Hugs, CatNipped Karen C asked: > Why do spicy things come from hot climates? Nipper replied ;o): I never thought about that before, but you're right. Hmmmm, I'll have to think on it a bit. Hugs, CatNipped ================================== I think its because it makes you sweat and evaporating sweat cools you down. I read this in a book about India. The food in Southern India is a lot spicier than Northern India. Suz > I think its because it makes you sweat and evaporating sweat cools you > down. I read this in a book about India.

The various kinds of capsicum peppers are all of New World origin. I suspect that the spicy-food traditions probably predate the introduction of peppers, using various other hot spices.

I make a thai dish using only black pepper as a condiment. Very hot! SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com >Why do spicy things come from hot climates? The theory I heard growing up in Southern California was that the hot stuff helped you start sweating, and encouraaged you to take drink, which in turn helped you cool off.

Lobster meat into dessert or parfait glasses. Pour the chilled liquid over the seafood. Garnish with cilantro and slices of lemon or lime. May add a spoon of Avocado Tomato Salsa on top. (sorry, I don't have that recipe) Jill >>>> Sorry for the earworm everyone :^) >>>> [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > CatNipped NOTE: I didn't paste the entire recipe (my mistake) so see my other post for the complete picture. CN, you can't stand wine so you might not like the addition of Sambal (a liquer) - just leave it out. Jill >>>>> Sorry for the earworm everyone :^) >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > Jill Correction (stupid me, I must have still been asleep). Sambal Oelek is not a liquer, it's a pure pepper paste. Jill It's 1 O-Clock In the morning I wondering what to do to save the sun The space that I take Is more than I can give And Mary's last song has just begun Everybody's pretty My brother won't rest till he knows I'm home > I've been sooo tempted to say something snippy and have managed to > catch myself, just in time, with the reasoning that a reaction is just > what they're after. In these days of changing ways So called liberated days A story comes to mind of a friend of mine Whitershade was trollish I guess Nothin' more or nothin' less The kindest guy I ever knew His mother's tears fell in vain The afternoon he tried to explain That he needed love like all the rest Pa said there must be a mistake How can my son talk that way After all I've said and done for him Leavin' home in a pickup truck Cast out by the ones he loves A victim of these trollish days it seems Whitershade went to Nashville town Where he quickly settled down And soon became the toast of his own way Never heard by Music Rows elite or any places that were chic No party was complete without Whitershade Along middle suburbia he'd rule And all the old trolls blew a fuse Everybody loved Whitershade The last time I saw him thrive Was in the summer of 95 He said he was in love I said I'm pleased He found himself at a cross roads there But I ask who really cares He once said to me and I quote "Riding in my spaceship How do ya'll know what it feels like What makes you think you can navigate When you don't know where I'm flying Telling me the facts about what I say When you don't know if I'm lying" Whitershade was a friend of mine Oh Whitershade stay, don't go away Whitershade please stay you take our breath away ~~Stewart, Connick, LPF At least its a quality earworm (Gershwin). How's your winter going? You guys don't get to freeze your butts off like we do up here in New England USA. Suz&Spicey Why, thank you ma'am! Winter is going OK, now that we've had a bit of rain. Funny, Sydneysiders whinge (complain) that it's *freezing* when the daily maximum is anything below 15C, although the nighttime minimum rarely gets much below 5C, which is a blissfully warm winter for anyone from the northern hemisphere.

Is there something else I should know? Something hidden down below the level of your conversation? *and so it went as we put out, I was left in constant doubt everything I asked about seemed private *The OP strolled the bridge one night I stopped her in the evening light To ask her if it'd be alright to join her <snickering> But she stood there like some idol And she listened like some temple And then she turned away All along the faithful posts we moved silent like a ghost The timeless words of tireless host posessed us The flames came blowing from the hot southwest and soon the posts began to crest crashing cross the big usenet All thoughts lost I alone survived the sinking I alone posessed the tools On this ship of fools Seger + LPF |
