Ask armati a question

http://www.freybe.com their coarse style is the one, it's not too chunky.

I don't know why I can't remember that spelling thinking it's fresbee?

They make the stuff I like. Probably because it was the most common one here. I like it best on toast with sweet relish or on crackers with gerkins.

That company is one of the Pork Masters. If it were not for them and the Chinese I probably couldn't eat pigs.

Poutine is easy, yet there is too much preparation, it seems like a hotdog.

You would likely never actually make a wiener, though you might cook them at home and have hotdogs. Poutine is typically something you suddenly think. I need one and go get one to eat right away. My wife made some Poutine, it seemed wrong, like a hamburger made with sliced bread.

how do u feel about liver wurst?

I LOVE liverwurst. I love every wurst, and I love every pâté, so liverwurst which is the intersection of Wurst St. and Pâté Ave. is a natural hangout for me.

I used to have a trucking route that took me into downtown Montreal three or four times a year, and it was the high point of my year to go into a deli in downtown Montreal and get Pâté de campagne au foie, which is like meatloaf saturated with liverwurst. Heaven on earth!

Sounds marvelous. I like the coarse herbed liver sausage best. Frebee brand or what ever the spelling is.

I finally tried Haggis in 2013. It's like a thick pate. Quite terrific.

Yeah, I finally got around to trying Haggis last year. Loved it.

Thank you so much for sharing.
If I could be so bold as to ask another question.
Dukasaur, do you think there should be a list of banned words, or is that political correctness gone mad?

I won't give you a direct answer, I'm afraid, but I'll say this.

I remember going with my parents to Citizenship Court and getting sworn in as Canadian citizens. We got a little pamphlet with all the do's and don't of court, what you have to bring, what you should say, not to smoke or chew gum, etc., etc. There was one line about how to dress, and it didn't go into any burdensome detail. It was a simple and straighforward line that said:

• Dress as you do for church.

Now, my parents were atheists and they didn't go to any church. They were also militant nudists. Since they didn't go to church they didn't dress at all to go to church. Taken literally, that line would give them consent to go to Citizenship Court in the nude. Still, I don't think that even for a second they entertained the thought of doing so. We went to court as most other people do: my mother wore a full ankle-length dress, my father wore a business suit and I had a cute little tuxedo. It really isn't difficult to read between the lines, and if the literal meaning of the rules doesn't apply to you, to figure out what behaviour will cause the least distress to others.

I wish we could distill all the rules down to something real simple like "don't be pricks to each other." I think 95% of the people could abide by something like that, and where it didn't literally apply, to figure it out. All the other rules are just there to control the 5% that just can't bring themselves to be nice and must find a way to be pricks. It's a huge amount of time and effort devoted to serving the needs of a very small minority.

I should not do this but I feel the need to ask...

Did your parents ever go to a funeral or wedding?

If so, were they nude?

[Dukasaur]

I don't think they ever went to a funeral. Self-centred narcissistic little pricks didn't really care if anybody died.

We did go to a few weddings. Most of them were clothed, but there was one we went to, good hippie folk, where the ceremony was clothed but the reception afterward was clothing-optional. We went to Letchworth State Park and everybody got ferociously stoned and swam in the river. About half of the guests were nude. One guy almost drowned and needed CPR.

[riskllama]

don't be a prick, 2dimes...

[2dimes]

I can't help myself.

We did go to a few weddings. Most of them were clothed..

None in a Church?

Of course some were in churches. There isn't some magical force field that prevents atheists from entering churches, you know.

Actually, the very first wedding I went to with my parents was in a church. I was six years old at the time, and still very impressionable. I saw a cauldron labelled "Holy Water" and I asked my father, "what is Holy Water?" He said, "When the Pope is in town, he pisses in a jar, and then the believers pay good money to splash it on their face."

Like I said, I was six years old and still very impressionable. I totally believed him. For years I thought "Holy Water" was a euphemism for the Pope's piss, and I would earnestly explain this to all my friends at school. At least some of them believed me, and the story was fairly widespread in my peer group for quite some time. I think I was twelve or thirteen when I finally fact-checked that bit of trivia and found out that it wasn't true.

What is your favorite big rig? Specifically, what do you think of old Petes?

Oh f*ck, I love those!

Good ol' long'n'talls!


Needs a sleeper, though. A low-profile sleeper, preferably.





I've never had the privilege, but they sure are fun to look at.

[2dimes]

Sorry, I had to go full pedantic there.

[warmonger1981]

Tits or ass? Choose wisely.

[KoolBak]

Would you dig this as a daily driver?

There isn't? There should be. A giant moat with a transparent moat bridge should be in front of every Church with the sign, "To enter here you must take a leap (of faith)."

The vacuum cleaner set up under your wallet when you enter a church is enough

Or just on your bottom. (Seriously, Disney in the old days used to have a ride to Mars, that used a vacuum under your ass to give you the feeling of liftoff. It's a cheap and effective effect.)

That would be sad indeed. As a lover of great art and architecture, I visit cathedrals at every opportunity, and I have donated hundreds, if not thousands, to cathedral restoration projects.

One doesn't have to believe in a concept as nonsensical as a personal god to love churches.

This was the example I was thinking of. St. Margaret of Scotland in Selden NY

If you take that bridge over the dry moat to the entrance and make it totally transparent, that would be awesome!

P.S. I think the church is supposed to look like Noah's Ark or something.

[2dimes]

What's on the roof?

[mookiemcgee]

I thought it was a hole in the roof at first, but I'm pretty sure now it's three snipers (or two snipers and a spotter?)

[riskllama]

lol, fastposted...

[2dimes]

I thought it was discarded clothes but you may be right. A couple of snipers to keep the unwashed masses back a bit. Tzor's church is hardcore.

Hope they can get some crocks for that moat.

[Dukasaur]

It's the feces of a gargantuan bird.
