In reply to Badtux.

The thing about eating meat pies is that the crust is like shrinkwrap, if you bite through it you can’t return it, not matter how disgusting it is. That is ‘pork’ as in ‘well, there is some meat in there and it could be pork … or not…’ Stray dogs and cats are your friends – see if they will eat it, before you try it. If there are no strays around, I would avoid the street food.

Somehow, Bryan, I doubt that alcohol would kill one of CMOT Dibbler’s “pork” pies :). Just make it a bit inebriated, mostly.

One should always ensure that they are thoroughly inebriated before ingesting anything from a street vendor. The alcohol kills any possible contamination. It’s a well known fact. Of course, it is also a well known fact that most people wouldn’t even consider buying most things from street vendors unless they were totally sloshed.

Just make sure that the pie isn’t one of C.M.O.T. Dibbler’s if you’re interested in keeping it down with the sherry, otherwise it is likely to get drunk and walk back out :).

In reply to Kryten42. Some people are paid a lot of money just to annoy other people on talk shows, but in the spirit of the Solstice we should reinforce their delusions so they have something to fume about. They need to big checks to pay for their blood pressure meds, seeing that they overreact to just about everything. Have a Happy Hogwatch, and don't forget the pork pie and sherry.

Don’t forget, if you encounter O’Reilly or DonoWho this festive season the proper way of greeting them is “Happy Holidays”.

Oh, really? Hmmm… And here I’ve been thinking the proper greeting is “Drop dead ya scummy b*st*rd!” Or something similarly appropriate. *shrug* What do I know? 😉 :p 😆

Ahem! You is interrupting my packing posting stuff like this ya know! 😐 (Actually, I’m on my lunch break.) 😉 😀

I’m repacking a box of mugs I acquired during the 80’s & 90’s from several IT companies (many of which no linger exist, such as Island Graphics (very colorful mug, as you’d expect), VisionWare (great company sadly acquired by SCO who totally mismanaged and screwed their excellent products, which is expected of SCO of course!) A couple rare Tektronix, Pyramid, ICL, Acorn and others. 🙂 I’m thinking of getting rid of them. I’m sure there are collectors that would pay a decent price for them.

ANYwayyyy… Happy (seasons greeting of choice) to everyone! (Me, I prefer Hogwatch, not just because I love all things Pratchett, It do think Hogwatch is appropriate these days. 😉
