Doghead's Cosmic Bar

There was one with Bush when he was first elected, but I can't find it.

Hee hee to be honest, Prob123, I wouldn't know what a "Poutine" is either, and I probably wouldn't correct a reporter if he told me your PM was Mr. T because a mic and a camera give the speaker assumed authority-- like a white lab coat and a "doctor" used to do. Funny all the same.

Well, here is one for anyone that didn't think Sarah Palin was the feminist choice.

Well, as the great Robespierre Burns put it:

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the poutine-race!"

I can't help wondering if "poutine" isn't in some way related to "butty" (both vowel sounds are identical - we don't pronounce it "bUti", but more like "bOOtee".) The archetype is, of course, the chip butty (anything else is a mere sandwich. Even the next-noblest bacon only constitutes a sarnie.)
The chippies round here always offer gravy and grated cheese, so it does make me think there might be a connection.

There would have to be a connection what are the odds of the recipe and name being the same!
There has to be a love of cholesterol that has been passed down though out the generations. I rather picture Homer Simpson going "Yummm..gravy and cheese...on french fries.."

For really eye-watering cholesterol consumption you have to go to Scotland of course. Not content with deep frying battered mars bars and whole takeaway pizzas, I gather they're now deep frying entire Indian takeaway meals (like an average chicken tikka doesn't already have enough fat in it to clog your arteries in less time than it takes to eat!)

I wonder if deep-fried poutine would catch on?

Psi, now that you have committed such words to the Net, I do think it probable that deep fried poutine will be sold next year at Milwaukee fest (a US party in a US city known for cheese soup and butter burgers).

Last comment for today: Prob I do have to give props to this quote (as I remember it): "Fellas, a gal likes to pick out her own skirt. The ones you pick are always too tarty and much too tight."

Bev, that was my favorite line in the whole skit!

So what's the deal with the fat guy i the red suite? Mom said this Santa guy can tell if you have been good, and if you pass you get presents, but dad said that's an 'invasion of privacy". Are we going to be invaded by elves? If so, do kids get presents because we look like little people?

<+2> MERRY CHRISTMAS!
