Louisiana has drive through daiquiri shops.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Dive-through daiquiri shops.

A year ago on this date I was plowing a foot of snow off my driveway. Today I mowed my lawn, raked leaves and washed my car. Life is good when it's warm out.

[Shaggy Hiker]

We just got several more inches of snow on the ski hill. I have to drive back from Portland in a couple days. Hope the passes are clear, cause my tires are not so goodly on snow.

[Gruff]

Portland Oregon or Portland Maine?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I hope it's OR, as the drive back from ME would take a fair amount longer than the one day I have.

[dday9]

I ordered hash browns with my grand slam.

[homer13j]

I ordered hash browns with my grand slam.

Good call.

[Gruff]

I live and work close to the Columbia about an hour Northwest of Portland.
Man I miss the place. The bumpkins out here drain your brain cells through osmosis.

I ordered hash browns with my grand slam.

I had to look up Grand Slam, and i am assuming here that you meant Grand Slam Breakfast

two buttermilk pancakes, two eggs,* two bacon strips and two sausage links

and obviously you added hash browns.


Buttermilk pancakes... seriously what are they doing with the rest of that food?

What is a Sausage Link? why not just say two Sausages? unless they are different?

...and where are my Toast, beans and Garlic mushrooms !!!!?????!!!!!

[Gruff]

What is a Sausage Link? why not just say two Sausages? unless they are different?

Sausage in a casing is linked sausage. Sausage (Spiced meat) can also be served without a casing as in sausage meat patty.

...and where are my Toast, beans and Garlic mushrooms !!!!?????!!!!!

Dude! If I ate beans for breakfast the EPA would shut me down.

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Sausage in a casing is linked sausage.

....or just a Sausage

Sausage (Spiced meat) can also be served without a casing as in sausage meat patty.

... or Sausage meat

Geeez you guys do like to add extra food words for no reason, i thought we (English) had the monopoly on that!

[Gruff]

Thought you Brits called em Bangers. *Grin*

[Shaggy Hiker]

You have to communicate to your audience. In this case, the audience is used to sausage coming in two forms: Link or patty.

[Gruff]

All Champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is Champagne.
All links are sausages, but not all sausages are links.

All Eggo's... Well they are all Eggos I guess.

[FunkyDexter]

Thought you Brits called em Bangers

Not since the 70s.

Links are golf courses. You wouldn't want to play golf on a sausage. You'd just look silly.

[dday9]

Mash and bangers

[Gruff]

You could play golf with a sausage I suppose. Putting would be a bear though.

[homer13j]

A meatball would be better, but you'd have to let it get really, really stale first.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I've had that meatball.

[Gruff]

Me at ball. Probably a wallflower.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Like a ricochet biscuit?

[homer13j]

Like a ricochet biscuit?

Whaddaya want for nothing?

[FunkyDexter]

I find it wonderful that I live in a world where somebody would actually go to the trouble of working out the lyrics for that song.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I remember that from grade school.

[szlamany]

And here I thought you were more my age - I'm guessing you are still on the uphill side of the 5-0...

[homer13j]

And here I thought you were more my age - I'm guessing you are still on the uphill side of the 5-0...

Unless it's the original version he remembers:

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, but by less than two years.

[szlamany]

I'm only that far into now...

[Shaggy Hiker]

Had my credit card number stolen for the third time this year. It's getting old, but is it just a statistical blip?

[Gruff]

I hear it's life-lock and all those security companies that are behind it.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah...but no. After all, it's only an inconvenience for me. Somebody may be out some cash, though I'm not sure whether it is the vendor or the bank, but it's not identity.

[dday9]

I've finished my training in Chicago.

[dday9]

Now I'm scrabbling for my December 1st start date.

[dday9]

In fact, I'm sitting in my office right now.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Scabbling for a start date? Wouldn't it be easier just to throw darts or something? What kind of start date would you come up with if all you had for scrabble pieces was vowels?

[Gruff]

Io/io/io ?

[Gruff]

Odd. I typed that all in caps and the forum proper cased it.

[dclamp]

New job?

[SJWhiteley]

Odd. I typed that all in caps and the forum proper cased it.

To coin a phrase: "You Lie (boy)!"
