So shoot me! Yes, it was all my fault. Skip ain’t paying me enough for this. In fact, he ain’t paying me at all.
I’m working on it. I’m working on it.
Could it be? Pork for me? I looked back at the comments on the original post and I was the only one who guessed March 8! Sorry, Skipper, that I thought your site was less popular than the other guessers, but I took into account the weeekend…
I’m snitching your recipe for dinner tonight, Skipper - my husband wasn’t too impressed with the chicken with caramelized onions & orzo last night ...................... it was s’posed to be risotto, rather than orzo, but I couldn’t find the type without heading into Houston yesterday - that’s something I generally try to avoid ................. ‘though, I’ll just have to grin & bear it sometime soon - rodeo’s in town!

So who’s the lucky bastard!
It looks like DaGeneral was the 1,000,000th visitor.
Marty was closest with the date so he wins the prize that Oink will announce later.
Ronnie is correct. Marty wins the prize. I wonder what Oink has in mind.
(now if Ronnie will please get his ass in gear and fix the line breaks in the e-mails I will probably not have to shoot him)
Aye, aye, Captain!
I’m not impatient for the prize or the e-mail fix. I’m sure I’ll cheerish whatever Oink has in mind, at least until dessert. And the e-mails I’m getting are a great improvement already.
Congratulations on 1 Megavisitor. If I could only figure out a way to drive more traffic to my own blog besides shameless name dropping!
Testing 1-2-3.
Testing 4-5-6.
The quick brown fox jumped over the surly pig.
Didn’t work.
Try again.
If at first you don’t succeed ...
Give up.
Try turning your hat around, Dude.
Orzo? Anything like Ouzo? It’s better with lamb.
Apple cider concentrate!, Check.
Might be ok ....
Prize??? Maybe my possum recipe?

I already explained the hat thing a while back. I took that picture of myself by holding the camera out. I had my hat on backwards because the visor was in the way when I was aiming at other stuff. Maybe I’ll put the explanation in my profile. Or get rid of the picture. But I like the picture because it says “Go take a flying leap off the horse you rode in on!”
PS: Can you use the recipe for groundhogs? We’ve got possums here in PA, but the groundhog is the state road bump. And they’ll be coming out of hibernation any day now…
Possum, the other white meat
Marty—My comment referred back to my #4, NOT your hat-- which I know all about. Goober & Gomer agree, it’s tres chic.
RRR is on a roll.

Oink, orzo is the pasta that looks like uncooked rice - it’s different; can’t explain perzactly how it’s different from other pastas, but it’s a good difference ....................
Marty, we’re from Hershey, PA, originally - “Sweetest Place on Earth”

Orzo, couscous, all those weird little pastas. Love ‘em. I’m originally from Buffalo. Spent most of the 80s on the Left Coast. Now I’m esconsed here in JoePaville, Happy Valley, State College, PA. Hershey is a nice town. But, I’ll tell ya. My son ran cross-country in high school. They have the state XC championships in Hershey now. You know that little hill that old man Hershey’s orphanage sits on top of? The course is that hill. My wife and I had to climb that thing to watch the race. Almost rolled down it a couple of times…
My daughter attended that orphanage {her “sperm donor” - HER term - took off on her first birthday} - she started in first grade, through graduation from high school - she has many fond memories of the campus there - and for everyone here - every time you buy a Hershey bar, or San Giorgio pasta, you’re providing for the education of kids - Mr. Hershey established the trust in 1909 - the kids now are each recipients of $40,000.00+ scholarships every year - and we thank you for your support!

My mother is known as “Grandma Kisses” because she always has some Hershey’s Kisses around. Does San Giorgio make orzo?
Hershey PA, recalling Lowell Thomas’ blooper, “Where the people are with & without nuts”.
We have fair sized hills here in lovely West-Central Indiana thanks to the recent (c. 10,000 years ago) Wisconsin Glacier stopping about where the Shell Station is on Hwy. 40. When it melted, it dumped about half of Canada from here southwards. As for Northern Indiana, think Cary Grant and the crop duster in “North by Northwest”.
I have a young friend who refers to her Absent Dad the same way. At the funeral of a contemporary friend, who died of AIDS, I stifled my urge to tell the Sperm Donor, “Maybe if you’d been a Man, this wouldn’t have happened? Whadda ya’ think?”
Onto more pleasant subjects:
1. It was fun there for a while when my emails were about a yard wide, and I got to hold the scroll bar down for 30 seconds to read them.
2. Those ribs and pork chops smell better and better as they get closer to being done, on the grill, don’t they? Too bad it’s Lent, I gotta try them Apple Cider Poke Chops pictured above.

Marty, their website offers recipes for orzo, so I’m thinking they do - also, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest pastas are apparently under the San Giorgio banner now - no orzo, though ....................
Oink, I make a kick-butt confection called Baked Fudge {it’s on AllRecipes website} - I’ll make it with and without nuts - I just tell folks they’re male & female “brownies” ............................ are you a mackeral-snapper too? We only can’t eat meat on Fridays, ya know - AND, were you aware, the fish on Fridays came about ‘cause the Church wasn’t getting enough ‘contributions’ from fishermen? Sooooooooo, to subsidize the fishermen, so they would have more disposable income, ergo, more donations to the Church, we were ordered to eat fish on Fridays ......................... PA Dutch have a great recipe, toasted sesame seed crusted trout, called ‘It Makes Fish Friday’ ..........................

the only roasting oink would get http://www.doubletongued.org/index.php/dictionary/comments/5118/
This thread is making me hungry. My wife just called me from Wegmans (if you don’t have Wegmans near you, its only the best grocery chain in the US). We’re bound to have something great for dinner tonight.
bulldog: That’s a great word site! Back in the pre-WWW days, I used to be a regular on usenet at a newsgroup called alt.usage.english. Great group. Lots of interesting etymologies. Some of the the better English usage / word origins web sites out there now were put together by AUE correspondents.
the oink being roasted must have put you off your dinner marty?
Dear Mr. Shit-For-Brains OINK,
Fuck you and the horse you rode up on. I’ve rolled all the changes back. You can now have your fucking plain text e-mails. If you want something else fix it your fucking self!
SHEESH WHAT A SENSITIVE BOY! I loved the new format. WHAT A GROUCH.

Oink, we need to have a long talk about knowing when to STFU. You have just managed to run off the only web guy I could trust to help me maintain this site.
He has been busting his butt all morning trying to debug the PHP code and the site templates and your badgering (yes, that’s what it was) only added to the stress. Someday I may have to sit you down and show you just how complex this crap is and how easy it is to totally destroy something if you’re not careful.
Now me? I know better. I just flip a switch and Oink’s output is no longer my input. He doesn’t know you that well though. I only hope I can convince him to come back and help out around here.
Damn! Here I go herding cats again. I’m getting too old for this shit.
oink gets a real roasting from the skipper
Good looking chops, and congrats on 1,000,000. Oink is overrated.

oink just being himself http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/profundusmaximus.htm dont worry oink everybodys there.
OINK: Settle down, pig. Ain’t nobody barbecued or ripped you a new one here yet today that I know of. I picked at you a little in one post (this one).
The point I was trying to make (and this goes for the lot of ya) is that no matter where you are on the internet (here or somewhere else) never get reckless with someone unless you know them and are sure they can take a joke.
Ronnie doesn’t get by here too often. He just doesn’t know you all that well. He is a busy young man. He does contract consulting at businesses all over the country. I met him a few years ago in my travels. He is about half my age and has the energy to stay on the road all the time (which I no longer can handle). He is very hyperactive and has very little patience (typical for youngsters). Besides, he charges over $125 per hour to his business clients and they’re glad to pay it. The boy knows what he’s doing.
So Oink, don’t get yer feathers ruffled too. I already got one “pouty-poot” on my hands. All I meant to tell you was to remember The Philosophy Of Stin: read before you think before you write before you preview before you submit and you will live in the lotus garden of blogs forever.
Stin was a great philosopher, wasn’t he, grasshopper?
Thanks for posting that recipe Skipper. I see an evening of fine eating on the way. Always looking for something different and tasty to serve for dinner. This is probably the reason I will never be less than 200 pounds and the weight watchers group my wife and I just joined will probably kick us out after 2 months. Oh well.
I am

Oink, thank you for the top pic in #69.
A nice memory!!!
5 years ago (if you drop the tattoo!) the girl really looks like my tiny bride from that angle when we’d just got married and I got her to put on her first thong.
She’s put on about 20 lbs (she’s 4’11” and was 95 lbs back then) since then unfortunately, although the gain moved her up from being a senior member of the “ity bity titty committee” so I guess its all good.
WHEW!! Thought I was gonna have to jump in with my size 4 combat boots, to take up for Oink - RRGhost, when I looked at the link he provided, to let “us” see what you were doing, I took it as “hey, look how RRGhost is working to get it together for ‘us’” - with some goodnatured kibbitzing to you ........................ if there was eMail exchanged, that the rest of “us” weren’t privy to, then, my bad ............................
Marty, I would kill for a Wegman’s or a Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill {main store is now in Lititz} - even just a roadside produce stand, or better yet, a Farmer’s Market like the Green Dragon in Ephrata {note to BMEWSers - it’s only open on Fridays - DO NOT go to Green Dragon on Good Friday, ‘less you enjoy busloads of “city folk” who find their entertainment in putting down the Amish & Mennonites, for their “primitive lifestyles” - some of the finest folks I’ve ever known, and the BEST farmers in this country {not too much “corporate farming” there, either} ..........................
