Noland does not feel differently. I say New Orleans. I don't know anyone that actually says N'Awlins. And I agree completely with New Orleens. It's awful.
So Pete Seeger's singing it wrong? My nephew turns one today. So much for an outdoor party. It is PISSING rain outside. So all the in-laws are going to be stuck indoors making small talk instead of ignoring each other in various corners of the yard like we planned. Grr.
BBQ this sunday. Making these. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.meatlessmonday.com/sweet-spicy-grilled-fruit-skewers/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.meatlessmonday.com/sweet-spi ... t-skewers/</a> bam.
W N B C... W NNNNNNN B C... W NNNnnnnnnNNNNN B C. I call it New Orlins. Even when the locals call it "Nawlins" or "New Awleahns" I want to karate chop them in the throat. Also noticed New Orleans is doing some advertising. No doubt to counter for all the gang land murders. Best. Tour. Ever. "Now if you direct your gat sideways out the left of the bus, you can pop a cap in some straight foo's grill..."
You know its Friday? And those skewers don't have meat on them. I take back everything I said in the 7 Seconds of Heaven thread. EVERYTHING!
Agreed, vegetarians make me sad. Edit: In her defense she didn't say it wasn't accompanied by a steak.
Easy there, Chuck. We only had four shootings on Tuesday. Only one of those was perpetrated by a 13 year old and only one left a five year old girl dead, so we're doing much better. Seriously, though; just stay the fuck away from here. Go play tourist in Lagos. It's safer.
That's a shame. I love that town. One of the few places I've been in this country where it really feels like it's own insular world. I'd love to move there someday. People were nice as hell too. Never had any real trouble even from the scam artists trolling the quarter.
Everybody can relax, we were specifically told to bring something other than meat and beer to this bbq because they have quite the stock. I will be eating plenty of meat. Don't worry Parker, our internet affair can still happen! Also, it is stupid how hard it was to think of something to bring to a bbq that isn't meat or beer. Also, these are fucking delicious.
7 seconds in heaven is better than...5 seconds in heaven? It's cliche, but fuck it, it's Friday: And my favorite:
In honour of hurricane season, may I humbly suggest that this WDT's theme be "wet"? NSFW NSFW Spoiler
Bullshit. You can never have too much meat at a BBQ (or more accurately, "grilling", since your friends most likely aren't smoking meat low & slow a la real BBQ). Although if your friends are actually breaking out a smoker, make some Atomic Buffalo Turds. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theblackpeppercorn.com/2012/03/atomic-buffalo-turd-jalapeno-poppers-aka-a-b-t/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.theblackpeppercorn.com/2012/ ... aka-a-b-t/</a>
I think New Orleens is how Yankees pronounce it. The only times I've heard "leeeeeeens" has been from a pasty-white kid from above the Mason-Dixon.
Southerners must seek out the pastiest of northerners. I grew up above the Mason-Dixon, and nobody should ever pronounce it "New Orleeeens" unless they're Harry Connick, Jr. and singing it that way to make the rhyme work.
?? R-o-M: Hey dude, what're you doing for lunch? Buddy: I'm swamped - we ordered in. R-o-M: Ah-ite. Buddy: Oh, hey, I'm glad you called. Did Lionel Richie write Brick House? R-o-M: What? Uh, I don't know. He didn't sing it, though. Buddy: What? Lionel Richie was in the Commodores then. R-o-M: Yeah, but the drummer sang that one. Buddy: Really? What's his name? R-o-M: I have no idea. Hang on, I'll google . . . Walter Orange. IK'll send you this link for a YouTu-- uh, wait. Did you know Rob Zombie did a remake of Brick House? . . . which led to this: Rob Zombie is a strange dude. Have you ever thought, "you know what I'd like to see. I'd like to see some movie clips that feature some hot titties in a hot tub, interesting use of what looks like a confessional booth, set to a remake of the Commordores' Brick House?" If so, this is for you! NSFW This video starts out nicely, but then there is a sudden abundance of penis around 2 minutes and a disturbing final 20 seconds.
