Hi Adrianspeeder [8D]

Remember these safety rules for SSLs (Super Speed Lawnmowers)
1. Never race a train
2. Never drink and moe
3. Always wear protective eqiupment
4. Use turn signals
5. Never pass on the right
5. Yield to garden hoses or other objects hiding in the grass
6. No pigpybacking trailors (LPTT Lawnmower Powered Trailor Train)
7. ALWAYS stop for Limited Clear's models (Hobo Joe as I call her)

Have a great day [:D]

If you don't know what it is than you don't want to know. It's made from a pig, everything thats from a pig goes into making scrapple. I know some of you are ready to heave but its taste great. It just helps to take a few years off of your life. In the old days they would take all the stuff from inside the pig - put it into the skull and boil it and some how make it that way - I don't know how it is made in the "modern era" .


This sounds like something we have here in the midwest/great lakes region. Its called "head cheese". All the unused inards of the hog, chopped up and boiled down inside the head "skull". The result , I suspect from all the collagen, comes out in a gelatine like form. I have never had the stomach to try it, but the "old timers" eat it right up. Some of the more exotic things I have sampled: Bear, alligator, rattle snake, sundried squid - kind of like chewing salty rubber, and more common wild game like whitetail deer, elk, carribou, ducks, geese, pheasant, etc. I havn't gotten the guts (pun intended[}:)]) to try it yet, but we have a local restaurant that will serve authentic haggis, if given 24 hour notice. Maybe someday I will have the stomach to "have the stomach" (for those who know what haggis is).

When I went on my NASCAR trip to the race in Homestead I tried alligator. It was like shoe leather. It was so tough and rubbery it was unreal. I have been told the restaurant did a poor job of cooking it or it wouldn't have been they way. I don't know because I have only tried it once so I don't have anything to compare it to.

I've had alligator steaks and yes, if it cooked wrong its like rubber. Its like calamari, cooked right and its tender and tasty, and like calamari (squid) , cook it wrong and its rubber and icky. It also has to be fresh, or it will come out rubber.

HEAD CHEESE IS THE WORST!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRGGH!!!
Smells like the most unholy thing while being cooked down. Cant even look at it.
Just thinking about it makes me want to hug the porcellien, uurgh!

Oh I don't know, I've tried Kim Chi and liked it well enough. My buddy was married to a second generation Korean-American. Her Dad made the stuff and buried it in the back yard. It was good, but oh so hot. I must have gone through a gallon of water. They also made these hot little pickles that kind of fizzed in your mouth. You could actually see the carbonation rising to the top in the jar. They were great with a tuna fish sandwich.

Now HOW could I have forgotten that one. Yes Alex you are right, Adrian (if going faster than 5 mph) should buckle up. I am sure that if he comes across LC"s Hobo Joe he can unbuckle himself and give her a lift. (I'm not going to touch that one with a ten foot pole)

Now about the turn signals, if a lawn mower can have them just give him time and watch out. They just might blind you, or is that the ditch lights?

Now about the turn signals ...

It was confiscated...Woof,Woof.
