Ooooh! Now I want that one. Smallie?

Welcome to the midwest, Joshua. Sounds like a good fit for what you like to do. I had a friend who lived in Woodstock for a few years. Nice area. The beautiful 'Georgia Pines' always stuck with me.

Well, we're breaking new ground on this one.

The lyrics to Spinal Tap songs are pretty dang funny. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/spinal+tap/

I like that.

Fook. I knew there had to be a downside. Now what???

Well, if you're not satisfied then... wait, nobody cares if you're satisfied, wrench! This is Ollie's canoe!!!

Hey, I don't make a move without my new partner Smalliebigs. This is a serious business proposition! By the way OAFers -- if you click 'like' on a post, and change your mind an unlke it, the 'like' still registers. Not naming names, but you know who you are Gavin.

In my humble opinion, there is far, far, too much quibbling about this stuff. Put that canoe in the water, and paddle it. Accept the canoe you own for what it is and don't look back. Adapt!

Smalliebigs -- I think I know enough about you from reading your posts here on OAF to jump in on this with you. Wire me your $250,000 and I'll get the LLC set up and close on the property. If you don't hear anything from me by Saturday, assume it all went as planned. I'll try to get a key under the doormat by then, but if you beat me down there, just fish it and get into the cabin any way you can. I'm assuming it's okay with you that I make keys for all my cousins -- they promised they'd clear it with you and me before they go down. They're legit. Oh -- I've got to have June 6 weekend just for me -- my niece's best friend has a granddaughter who is about to pop. She wants to get married down there. If she can birth in the US she's entitled to a full ride. I can make it up to you by letting you have a weekend of your choice next January. I'm excited about all this! Talk to you soon, pardner!

Probably ought to buy a few extras. You border ruffians are outnumbered there in Douglas County. Too bad about Shane, huh?

Flipping through the channels, and Godfather Part 2 is on. Got in just as mama Corleone's funeral is happening. Michael gives Fredo the hug. He looks over Fredo's shoulder to the dude who knew Michael was bound to let Fredo live until mama was gone. Later, down at the dinghy...

Polenta? Looks more like yellow grits to me

Well, yutz, putz, whatever -- good to have this discussion. As to which side of the state line is 'wrong', well that's for another day!

Andy: I don't have my protractor handy -- is the fish in your avatar being held properly?

That looks like a nice place to BBQ and have grandkids running around.

Yeah -- that site is phenomenal.

Welcome. Tons and tons of good info on here, and a few nice folks too.

That would be cool, but you can't have a Cards/Royals series without Cards fans. Having all them in town -- well, it makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

Nah, this is a good topic.

Eh, go start a Cardinals thread.

I'm a left brainer Can't cipher this stuff The right side of my container Is full of Marshmallow Fluff

Sorry you can never make it. It would have been so wonderful.

Wrench, I've got an extra bedroom at the house. When bidness slows down for you, how about you saddle up and ride on into town for a couple days? I'll show you big city livin' and koo-zeen like you never seen before. Sorry, no bonfires allowed here, and explosives are illegal in case you were wondering. We gotta pee indoors for the most part, especially during the day, especially in the front yard. No dumping either--everything's gotta fit into the two city-issued trash bins. Really, just bring yourself. Seriously. Nothing else but maybe a couple changes of clothes. Please. We've got rules. Don't want to scare you off, but I also don't want to understate the importance of conformity to our suburban statutes, or more importantly, expectations. I just want to introduce you to food made from the prime cuts, cooked on wood fires where creosote isn't an ingredient. Meat that's not from a can. Food that doesn't have to get creative on the ingredients list so people don't vomit just from reading the the label. So the offer is open, though I darn near talked myself out of it while I was in the process of extending it. Please RSVP soon.

I know my favorite thing at my favorite Chinese restaurant is Szechuan chicken. Spicy from dried chiles but not overwhelmingly hot, slightly sweet, lots of garlic. Soy sauce based, and maybe some wine in there too. No sour to it. Probably pretty Americanized, but who cares? Kinda standard Chinese food stuff makes up the rest. I can see how that sauce would really be good on wild game.
