Reuben vs. Rachel; Sour Kraut vs. Cole Slaw

sausage biscuit queens would be just the thing to draw out AdamSmith.

You must have caught my drag queen act. Modeled a bit to one side of Shirley Q. Liquor, her name is of course Sausage Pattie.

 

It's odd how we can invest life and personality into what in the end is (are?) no more than some words on a monitor's screen.

Surprised me too at first. Also sometimes surprising to see what aspects of personality get highlighted when refracted thru this medium. Last month I was with an escort for a couple hours who knows this site; some time into it, I mentioned my screen name. He was surprised, eventually observing that content was recognizable on reflection, but demeanor of presentation struck him as entirely different. Go figure.

 

Hell, I'm feeling so warm and fuzzy I'm even going to take minnie off the ignore list.

 

Don't get carried away now.

MsGuy-

 

Are your ponderings a variation of the answer to the question of who are you being what they do for a living? There are any number of semi-thoughtful answers to that question but the quick and socially accepted answer is your job title or description, isn't it?

 

I am a human being, gay, male inhabitant of the planet earth, citizen of the USA and the local community, Libertarian by choice, etc. But, like most people, I just say I fly corporate aircraft. Most responses to that statement are just as inane as it is, such as, oh, that must be fun, exciting, interesting, etc. (It is but it still is just a job, not completely who I am.) or, are you gone a lot? No ma'am, we usually just go out to the airport and fly locally for a few minutes in case we actually need to go somewhere sometime. We want to be ready.

 

It is interesting to see what is revealed by what is said and what is not said. We all have buttons and when one is pushed, accidentally or on purpose, revelations sometimes bound forth.

 

Best regards,

KMEM

 

Next you will tell me you like NC BBQ.

Speaking of buttons!

 

...but haven't we already had this one out before? (Too old to remember, too lazy to search.)

[KMEM]

AS-

 

What? Are you a fan of NC BBQ? Just a flitting remark. Some of my closest friends live in NC and are spending countless hours trying to disabuse others there of their "unusual" taste in BBQ sauce. Like Johnny Appleseed, every where they go, they make converts; either that or it is the free BBQ made on the spot that attracts them.

Groan.

Hmmm. That might vary depending on what part of you was being presented.

I take your point though.

 

Don't get carried away now.

 

Not to worry. After a nap, I recalled why I locked him out in the first place. A very unpleasant fellow is our minnie.

 

EDIT: Obviously I haven't yet got the hang of breaking down a qoute into segments. Foo!

[MsGuy]

KMEM, AdamSmith can be quite touchy about slights to his native land. Tred here at your own risk.

[+ Gar1eth]

Emeril should stick to what he knows. Love his food and have eaten in just about all of his NO restaurants before and after the hurricane but nowhere do I recall a Reuben nor would I order one there. I know there is some controversy as to the origin of the sandwich but if not the original, although it probably is, the best ones are bought in NYC delis, especially the Kosher delis. You don't get a Reuben from Emeril and you don't get Etuffe in a Kosher deli.

 

 

I respectfully need to offer a correction for what Purplekow wrote above. I am sure in a "Jewish"/German/?Russian type Deli as opposed to say an Italian Deli you can order very good Reubens. But if it is an actual KOSHER Deli, no Reubens will you find. In a true Kosher deli you can't mix milk products (eg cheese) with meat (corn beef).

MsGuy and AS-

 

I would be more than pleased to offer a sample of the local fare. Then we can have a few drinks and discuss the attitributes of anyone's local fare or any thing else of drinking import.

A veritably presidential offer! Accepted at yr first convenience.

 

Whatever you think of NC BBQ, at least it will not blind you, unlike our moonshine.

[MsGuy]

I also accept your kind invitation. Health issues permitting, I'm pretty much free to come up any time, so just coordinate to suit your own schedules and let me know. I look forward to it.

 

Fair warning, in person I'm even more opinionated than my posts & away from my edit button somewhat less articulate. I'd bring along some local 'shine to lubricate the conversation but the country boys hereabouts have long since moved on to cooking meth.

Progress! In rural N.C., corn squeezin's are likewise passe except as a novelty; no longer much of a revenue source. But corn continues to be a useful crop, in that it provides great cover for growing marijuana every other row.

 

Of course one has to be in league with local law enforcement, to get them to avert their eyes during their overflights. But that just continues the arrangements settled back when stills were what needed to be protected.

[KMEM]

I actually had some delicious NC corn when I was there a couple weeks ago. I also was told by my flight instructor many years ago to not fly over "blue smoke" that might arise from wooded, off the beaten track areas. The same today is likely true for "other" crops. Little airplanes can't out run bullets; neither can big ones.

Better believe it. And true in spades when you're on the ground. When I go back to the native grounds, I like to ramble around out in the country where my parents' forebears had their farms. But the one thing you take care NEVER to do is drive up a path that could turn out to be a stranger's driveway.

[MsGuy]

Yeah, back in the day we had "no go" zones out in the hill section of my county. Most folks in the trade took privacy issues quite seriously. A friend of mine once encouraged the departure of an ATF informer with the front bumper of his pickup. Repeatedly. For over a mile. Did I forget to mention the informer was on foot? True story.
