Burning Questions
I've been pondering some questions of burning importance this morning as I was tackling some unpleasant jobs that I've put off too long like cleaning the fish tanks.
1) How could you tell if a Granny Smith apple wasn't ripe?
2) How could you tell if buttermilk had soured?
You thought I was gonna talk about whether or not John Kerry was in Cambodia or sumpin, didn't you? Everyone is all over that like white on rice. I don't particularly care whether he was or wasn't, but it seems to me that's a relatively easy question for him to answer. And the correct answer isn't an ad hominem attack on the SwiftBoat Vets.
Dude, no one's questioning your patriotism, they're questioning whether you're a lying sack of shit. Those are not mutually exclusive you know.
And what's with the hat in the secret compartment thing? That's just too weird for words. I'm beginning to seriously wonder if Kerry doesn't have all these Walter Mitty Rambo fantasies rolling around in his head.
Super freaky.

Not even close to being on-topic, but we watched "Major Payne" on TV last night, so when I read your post, I was reminded of his line, "like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm."

Topic? We don' need no steekin' topic.
My son used to love that movie. We've watched it about a zillion times. But I dunno if he still thinks it's so funny after going through basic training.

I think my sour cream has gone good.

Heh.
Sour cream is easy....just touch a bit to your tongue & if it burns, don't eat it.
Buttermilk, I discovered last night, develops this sludge in the bottom that looks remarkably like unflavored yogurt. (Duh, I wonder why.) Still makes good biscuits though.
