Terminalcoffee discussion

I have been waiting all day long to see if anyone mentioned this. Am I the only one who finds this beyond wacky? He has done this before and they found him competent then? Does this convince anyone besides me?

Welcome to Texas.

I can't imagine it being very tasty, but I bet it slid right down.

Everything's better there.

Dammit, that hurts me to even think about that. Mucho props on the intestinal fortitude, Andre Thomas, you little nutjob.

I did notice that in the paper this morning, Kevin. Crazy stuff.

DIDN'T NEED TO READ ABOUT THAT!!!!!!

sorry Montambo, that is the world we live in. Even though the guy is a cruel, sicko murderer and a self-cannibal (did i just coin that phrase?) mostly i could not wrap my mind around how in the world he pulled his own eyeball out with his fingers. later that day i had an itch around my eyelid and when i scratched it a bit i suddenly went "WHOA, easy there big fella, don't dig too hard or your eye could come out"

(maybe he secretly had a red rider in the cell)

I think the fact that this man ate his own eyeball has everything to do with the fact that he is from Texas and nothing to do with anything else.

Whoo! Crazyass news that doesn't come from Wisconsin!

For a while there we in the upper midwest were getting all the whackjob stories, like the one of the woman who returned to high school and pretended to be seventeen so she could be a cheerleader or whatever. Let's spread the craziness around the country, people.

Texas is an equal opportunity executioner at a high frequency rate. The craziness just follows.

OH RA, the shack nasties are just starting to settle in, so who knows what will happen in Wisconsin.

I'm surprised he didn't fry his eyeball, since everything has to be eaten fried in the South.

exactly gus! did he have sweet tea to wash it down? did he use texas style BBQ sauce? what if he dropped it after pulling it out but prior to eating it? how would he find it?

"can i get a little help in here?"

ONCE AGAIN, people... born and bred Southern, and I don't fry everything.

well, you ever had an unfried eyeball? like sushi i imagine

Well, some of us prefer "barbequed" to "fried," thank you very much.




(That was a joke. I don't like "BBQ" much, either.)

I do like fried chicken. Man, it comforts me in a way baked chicken just can't.

And peas and cornbread. And chicken and dumplings. And biscuits and gravy.

Mindy stop. You're making me salivate.

Notice how many syllables all of the southern "comfort" foods have. This eyeball cuisine needs to have more of an extensive name to really fit in.

How about Dug'n'Grub?

The ulitmate finger food.

Oh gawd, those three were my Mamaw's best dishes. (Though she SUCKED at fried chicken, go figure.) They are my holy trinity of comfort foods. (But only as prepared by her, and since she's dead now, I don't get my comfort foods anymore. I try to fill the hole with fried chicken, but it's just not the same.)

(I think you meant to say, "... fill the hole ..." instead of "whole." Unless you want to fill up literally EVERYTHING with fried chicken.)

Haha, check again, Larry, I edited it as soon as I posted it. But you caught me--you are FAST!

In fact, I was gonna post again telling everyone that I had another homophone moment.

Oh sure -- go back and edit.

Though filling everything with fried chicken might be so bad...

*off to Church's for lunch*

Church's has BIG pieces of chicken.

well, at least when the guy gets executed in Texas he won't see it coming

Kevin Kevin Kevin. ::shakes head::

hahahahaha man, that was too easy.

Fried Okra. Now that's a wonderful southern dish.

The best fried chicken in the South is in Charlotte. Price's Chicken Coop's chicken would make even a stone-cold vegan go batty for chicken.

Heidi said: ONCE AGAIN, people... born and bred Southern, and I don't fry everything.

Jeez, Louise...defensive, aren't we?

Well if a certain someone (who's getting the silent treatment from me) were here for most of last week, then said person would know that this has been discussed eleventy billion times already in Terminalcoffee.

Some of us like some stuff fried, but not everything. I take issue with generalizing statements. It's like saying all New Yorkers are rude... because that's sooo untrue. In fact, the New Yorkers I've met are super friendly (including person I'm giving silent treatment to).

BTW, the best fried chicken is in my grandmother's kitchen.

People from Arkansas are touchy.

:)

I love okra. I'd probably love fried okra if someone would fry something here.

Yeah, it's hard to come by around here. I only get to eat it now and then. But that's probably why I love it.

I do love fried okra, though (and sauteed... and pickled and steamed)! YUM! My boss will bring some to work every once in a blue moon. His mother grows okra in her garden and he cooks it himself. It goes quickly around here.

I have to admit I've only had fried and pickled. But I like both. if I knew where to get the others I would try them.

RA, you're being a troublestarter.

I'll put your granny's chicken to the taste test with Price's.

I know what you mean about generalizations. I resent being told New Yorkers are rude. We're just hard-assed, but deep down inside we're hopeful romantics.

Philadelphians, on the other hand...City of Brotherly Love my ass!

For a second there, I thought the title of this thread said "Mindy has another homophobe moment".

Damn my eyes!

Send me some, person-I'm-ignoring! I have to do a taste test or I won't believe it. :)

i used to watch okra winfrey occasionally

Can't do that. Price's needs to be sampled on the spot.

You can't ignore me...I'm like a fungus that'll never go away. Hence, the name "Gus".

not sure i can post here. i am a bit homophonic

La Lalala La Lalala. I'm ignoring yoooouuuu...

Heidi -- doesn't the act of telling someone you're ignoring them kind of defeat the purpose?

Not when I'm singing under my breath to myself...

That Heidi is complicated!
