Hey Amy-What is the deadline to have raffle prizes in?

[Amy Winette]

Good question, I think we launched the actual site sometime last March, once the page is live it's hard to add to it, so I'd say we're shooting for late Feb?

Awww, thanks, Mel! You are so sweet. Guess what? I'm at mom's right now as we speak. Just got through eating a big ole bowl of gumbo and warm, crusty french bread. Mmmmm. Rum cake for dessert. Then I will be laid up like a big ole fat rat.

[ScoopJohnD]

Gawd I need a f$%%ing beer!!! Cooking wears me out. Sweet and sour kraut
courtesy of Paul Prudhomme (see the TH cookbook you luck winners) great with turkey and now a bittersweet eggplant dish from the same PP cookbook.
I'm exhausted. But it sure tastes good!!

[sophisticated sissy]

yoo-hoo!!! Is this place open? Hey, where everybody at?

Sure is dark in here... better light some candles.
That's better! Hmmm... Guess I'll liberate some of that single-barrel rum & put it on my tab.
Cheers!

[rosetree]

Thanks Jim... it's getting worse by the bloody minute so I might take the dinks and run! Cheers.

[grisgris]

Hey gang, just got off work. No turkey for me. The only thing opened was Burger King. Dang, have'nt had Burger King in a couple of years. Wonder why? Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving & have slept off their turkey coma.:p

[Belle]

I'm here....I'm stuffed.....nap soon....

Im here too...i'm stuffed and then went over the edge with pecan pie!!!

No nap but to bed early!!!

[Zydekitten]

Awwwww, I feel really badly for Ozzie and GrisGris (but only slightly less for Ozzie, as they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Oz, that's why she needs to get Festgiving on the Aussie calendar as an Official Aussie Holiday, dagnabit!)!

I hope Mel and Tan are having a great day any how, because we love them lots and lots though!!!!

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o67/Zydekitten/muah.gif

[ozzie]

I feel MUCH better now! Just spent a couple of hours with a few hundred wallabies and gazillions of birds... good for your soul to sit under a shady tree and relax for a while. I mean work.

[Zydekitten]

That sounds VERY cool Tan!! I'd like to do that too . . . only it's too cold for wallies here right now.

[ScoopJohnD]

Hey ZDK, we Pats fans don't want the Niners winning too many games. We have their first round pick next year and would love to land McFadden from Arkansas if he goes eligible. ;)

Well, as a native Bostonian raised in the S.F. Bay Area - color me torn on that one, baby!! Plus, I genuinely don't think that's gonna be a real issue . . . the Niners were lucky to win that one yesterday in OT - to break their EIGHT game losing streak, fer cryin out loud!!!

One thing the Niners ain't in any danger of doing is winning too many games at this point . . . and this comes from someone who loves them. :o

[Amy Winette]

I concur, no risk of the Bay Area teams winning too many games this year ;) Maybe Miami could win a few to catch up!

Drinks For The Upcoming Hurricane Season

CATEGORY 5
1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. tequila
1/2 oz. rum
1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. gin
Sweet-and-sour mix
Splash of fruit juice
Combine vodka, tequila, rum, bourbon and gin in a tall glass. Fill remainder of glass with sweet-and-sour mix and splash of juice. Stir, then garnish with an inverted drink umbrella. Drink during peak storm hours, and vow not to believe anyone who tries to tell you the hurricane that flooded your garage and destroyed your shed was just a Category 1.

CONE OF PROBABILITY
1 oz. cinnamon schnapps
1 sugar cone
Pour the schnapps into the sugar cone. Every time you hear a TV weatherman say, "cone of probability," bite off the end of the cone and down the shot. If you hear Jim Cantore say it, drink two shots consecutively. (They should change this to the "Weatherman Zone"..damn them. Have you ever noticed that, despite all the cone of probability talk, if a weatherman is parked in front of your house your rear en is toast?)

FEEDER BAND
2 oz. Midori
2 oz. rum
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
After your home loses power, combine Midori and rum in a cocktail glass.
Add a scoop of the vanilla ice cream that is melting in your freezer. Stir and drink through a straw.

BEACH EROSION
1 1/2 oz. Goldschläger
1 1/2 oz. apple brandy
1 pack Sugar in the Raw
Combine Goldschläger, apple brandy and sugar in cocktail glass. As you drink, seriously contemplate moving your Yankee rear end back to the north where it belongs!

DOWNED POWER LINE
1 1/2 oz. rum
5 oz. Jolt Cola
Combine ingredients in a cocktail glass. Drink while trying to figure out how the heck you're supposed to go two freakin' weeks without television and AC.

FLOOD ZONE
2 oz. Kahlúa
2 oz. Baileys Irish cream
4 oz. rum
Serve in a 6-ounce glass and laugh-cry deliriously as the mess spills all over the countertop.

COLD SHOWER
2 oz. Blue Aftershock
4 oz. Sprite
Combine in a cocktail glass with crushed ice you received after waiting in line for three hours at a mall parking lot. Take a deep breath, sip and scream like a little girl when the cold beverage hits your tongue. Repeat.

LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT
1 oz. Jack Daniel's
Splash of sarsaparilla
Rock salt
Load both barrels of a shotgun with rock salt. Climb to the roof of your house with gun, bottle of Jack Daniel's and can of sarsaparilla. Fill shot glass with Jack and splash of sarsaparilla. Watch for looters. When you spot one, blast his butt with rock salt. Drink shot. Repeat.

THE CHAIN SAW
1 oz. Goldschläger
1 oz. Rumplemintz
3 oz. Jim Beam
Splash of vermouth
Combine Goldschläger, Rumplemintz and Jim Beam in an empty soup can. Add splash of vermouth. Drink. Remove chain saw from garage and attempt to cut up fallen tree limbs in yard. Ask neighbor to drive you to hospital when it all goes horribly wrong.

FOUR-WAY STOP
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 1/2 oz. vodka and Midori
1 1/2 oz. vodka and Galliano
1 1/2 oz. vodka and grenadine
Pour each ingredient into a separate shot glass. Serve one to yourself and three other people. The person with the clear shot of vodka drinks first. The person to his right drinks the Midori shot, and so on. If somebody drinks out of order, develop a quick case of road rage and beat the living crap out of him.

BLUE TARP
1 1/2 oz. Curacao
2 oz. pineapple juice
Splash of lime
Combine ingredients in a leaky paper cup and serve. Wait six to eight months for someone to repair the cup. If you're impatient, hire an unlicensed, out-of-state contractor to do the job for an exorbitant sum and pray he doesn't hurt himself in the process.

Ohhhhkay now... this goes back over a year... so now I've mentioned Byron posting it, so he may be the "source"... no matter, this was pretty funny stuff... Posted by Festngator, then Delta in the bar, and Crawfishfest in the CFF thread from his pal, Luc... and it looks like the TP may print it just for laughs now...
