Probably, but everyone needs an ass chewing, ass kicking or head slapping every now and then, keeps you in check....my grandpa told me one time, " no one is above getting an ass kicking, when I'm 90 and in a wheelchair push me down a flight of stairs if I deserve it". I thought it was funny, but haven't had to roll him down the stairs....yet!
Random note to the Internet. The hostess brands are for sale, that doesn't mean they are dead. Twinkies are not going anywhere except for the shortage caused by hoarding
They'll likely be gone for six months or so though. Could even be a year or two depending on how complex the bankruptcy is.
we are frying one and smoking another along with a ham. we built a smoker in my brother in law back yard and it is bitching. could fit 2 pigs in it easily.
Does anyone have one of those home mosquito systems? The one's that run some kinda tube along the top of your house or fence and they fog mosquito's and various times of day......if so do they work as well as advertised?
Nationwide? About 330,000,000 people in the US. Assume an average of 10 people per Thanksgivng meal, so that works about to about 33,000,000 Thanksgiving meals. Let's set a conservative estimate of 10% of the Thanksgiving meals involving a fried turkey that's done on site (as opposed to being bought from somewhere). So that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,300,000 homes where turkeys are going to be fried. If we accept that rednecks* are not definied by gender, race or region but rather, as in the words of Jeff Foxworthy, possess "a glorious lack of sophistication" and set the proportion of rednecks at, oh let's be non-cynical and say, 20% of the population. That means that 660,000 redneck households are going to be frying turkeys. Then, in the best possible scenario, let's say only 1% of those households will hear the words "Here, hold my beer. Hey, y'all. Watch this." right before the turkey hits the oil. That puts us at 6,600 households that are in significant danger of personal injury and/or property loss. Let's give the benefit of the doubt to 99% of those unfortunate households that they may avert disaster through either Divine intervention or lack of handy beer holders. So the number of Thanksgiving Day Fried Turkey Fires is at 66. I got the over. Here, hold my beer while I go calculate some other risk scenarios. ============================ * Redneck is certainly not meant to be a pejorative. In fact, on most days and in most situtations I count myself in that gloriously unsophisticated number.
