AAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Do not toy with Herr BurgerMeisterMeisterBurger. Flame meat patty is not on table; cannot be bargained for at any price. Your George Clooney and your Brad Pitt will not suffice. All your flame meat patty are belong to us.



You will take Ed Norton, then?

Preciousssssss....come to me my leetle preciousssss. Fear not her barking furball. It's a whiner-reamer...weiner-warmer...winer-wirner...oh shoot...It's one of those German Kraut Dogs
....mmmMMMmmmkrautdog...CRAP!!! Now you guys made me drool on my keyboard. QUIT talkin about good food!

Haha yeah... got pretty old pretty fast... would be just for sport now. LOL But hey, I never did get to ask Shan what her obsession was with this show.

Hey Shan-

Why do you like this show so much? A little latent lesbianism on your own part? I'm just wondering why someone would watch such a show in which they (you) were so diametrically opposed to their lifestyles.

And then on top of all that heap of crapola... why would you find it necessary to post on their BB???

Tell me... how was your relationship with your father? LOL

And your mother??? LMAO

Lia & Ohio-



I LOVE LOLcats.com!!! I have the perfect one for Shan too.

Ok, that's it ...

:::eyes roll back into head:::

... I'm officially, inconsolably famished, and not even a Swenson's burger will do the trick now. The only thing that will smother this hunger is the late-Autumn, Oktoberfest-borne sausage 'n peppers sandwich in all its greasy, foil-wrapped, onion-y glory, and sold only from just-off-the-midway at Aurora's Geauga Lake (yes, I know it's not called that anymore, but it will always be Geauga Lake to me).

And there must be a side of salt and vinegar laden, crisp-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside twisted texas taters, as well as a crispety-crunchety funnel cake smothered in warm strawberry sauce and powdered sugar too.

Accept no substitutes ...

Well, poo.

MH, I'm seeing an image that wants to show up, but all I'm getting is that damned white box with the red "X" of doom. Me wantz 2 C ShanKat!!!

It's the "SUP" kitty. It shows up for me. Guess you can just check out the link.

I kinda wondered that too. I wondered why someone who was so prejudicial, discriminatory and intolerant of anything outside her safe, comfy "norm" would want to venture out into the big, wide world of diversity. Of course, then I remembered that others within her amateur sphere--those well and better versed in fundie-hack--had surely trained her well in the art of deflecting Truth.



Why, because she has a mission, MH. 'Tis her singular purpose, apparently, to show all of us--homo, hetero and anywhere in between--what we're missing out on by not going to the Moral Majority's nightly Bible 'N Bingo game.

Don't you feel seriously shafted (or at the very least, vaguely fisted) at being turned away from that party??? I know I sure do -- I mean, the spiked Kool-Aid alone might be worth sitting through the lecture, geez!



Of course, I could be wrong, but maybe MamaShan isn't especially interested in the intellectual calonic her spawn's in dire need of.

Then again, it isn't MamaShan's call, either, so you know what?

Have at it, Kidz!!!!!

But I don't want crabs!!!

"Swenson's burgers" means hot, juicy, sizzlin' morsels of seasoned beef-almighty-meat sandwiched between your choice of crisp lettuce, crazysweet onion, sweet, hot or fiery peppers, the incomparable and absolute power of cheese, hearty, beefy 'n fresh tomatoes, sweet, salty or garlic pickles, relish and/or whatever else your heart desires as "burger perfection," all on an inconsequential yet somehow equally perfect bun.

Crabs, though? "Crabs" are just ... well ... nasty sex cheez. And ...


Lord woman, did you not ever trade the stuff you didn't want out of your lunch for other kids rejects?
If I'm hopping in my teeny tiny car, driving 15 hours to Jackson Ohio to taste a burger because my board bud says they are the best CHEESE burger ever, and frankly, cheese is enough to get me to go anywhere, and I happen to be passing a fed ex place on the way back from said burgers, would it hurt you to perhaps visit http://www.ordercrabs.com/Maryland-Blue-Crabs.html and check out my obsession? Where's the love? Where's that food freakiness I know you have deep in your food whoore soul? (Yes I know how to spell the other name for prostitute but the word recognition software deleted it. The only time misspelling is an advantage)

Oh shanshan, you wacky silly woman. Me thinks you tell a lie. Bad sin girl, Christ is so sad. He knows you read our responses. Don't lie to God, bad juju. And it makes YOU look the silliest. By the way Happy Pride Weekend, let your inner lesbian out, she needs to breathe.

It might help if you didn't log on so long in your screen name. Not reading. Just saying.

Brought to you by the number 6, the letters S, T, F, U, and fully endorsed by:

Ok, ok, you win. I will immerse myself in creepy crawly crabbiness long enough to nab some of the little fishbugs for you. The burger is simply. that. good.

I guess it would make you cry to know I lived within a mile of the Chessapeake Bay for over 5 years and didn't eat nary a blue crab.

Go Orioles!!

Hmm ... a dozen Maryland Blue Crab "smalls" is $24 without shipping. I think you're gonna have to add at least a few more burgers with lots of extra toppings, some onion rings and a shake or three to that Swenson's order!

Oh, and while you're at it? Could you pick me up a little something from Strickland's too?

Yes, makes me cry bushels of little crab shaped tears.

On the other hand, leaves more for me.
Cal Ripken ROCKS!

Sweetie, darling. Gas = $3.something a gallon, trip = 770 miles one way = way more than a dozen smalls with shipping.
And here I thought you liked these burgers. Still ohiofarmgirl has that unmaxed out credit card. Just imagine the reception her fed ex person is going to get.

Eh. Fuggedaboudit. I've lost 40 lbs over the last year, with only 10 more to go before I've gone back to my fighting weight, so 'sno big, and better that ohiofarmgirl packs on those Swenson-y shaped pounds instead of me, LOL!

Man, and here I just bought two of those heat and go bags. I hear they keep the burger juices hot for quite a while. Cheese would be all melty. You'd have to either re-fry the onion rings to re-crisp but I think it would be worth it. And the smell. HMMMMMMMMMM!

I lived there when Cal broke Lou's record. I was there when the Orioles went wire to wire in 1st place. I was there the first game Cal didn't start a game and there when his Dad, one of the most important persons in his life, died.

They might not be doing as well now, but I still loves my Orioles!

Oh shan.....It's time for your nap, honey. Maybe we should sing to you so you can settle down a bit.

Sing along everyone, it's goes to the tune of The Barney Song:

~I Hate You~
~You Hate Me~
~We're a Dysfunctional Family~
~With a Slap for You and a Kick for ME~
~I Lost Your Dog When You Were Three~

(chorus)

~Yes shanshan Hates me~
~Yes Shanshan Hates me~
~Yes Shanshan Hates me~
~Her scriptures tell her so~

Nighty-nite sweety. When you wake up, all the nice people will still be here and maybe you won't be so grouchy.

Try and catch them when they come into town. Hurts to see how poorly they do. Still they are my team and I love them. Love Camden Yards, love having a crab cake at the game or Boog Powell barbeque. Love the Inner Harbor. Hell, I love the whole damn area. Ah well.

Oh, and while you're at it? Could you pick me up a little something from Strickland's too?
[/quote]


STRICKLANDS! OMG....having mental foodgazm. Oh My...Oh My...OH MY...Oh My GAWD...ICE CREAM!

Oh yeah! Well...if it's true that you are what you eat, I'd rather be a big jucy delectable Swenson's Burger than one of those crappy green protien shakes Jackie Warner makes everyone drink...More people would eat me! :-)

Man I am so happy you said that. Now we can tie the whole thread back into Work Out. So do we think Jackie is a Swenson's/Strickland's fan?

Naw. She didn't have Swenson's, Stricklands or Mary Coyles in her area...poor girl...it would have made her happy in her youth.

Heck, where did Aquariaqueen go? I told her where the box-o-wine was and haven't seen her since...uh-oh, better go check the kitchen. She may have passed out with the wine nozzle in her mouth...I'll save her! I know CPR...give her the Kiss of Life!

Dare I even ask, what is Mary Coyles?

That does sound tantalizingly tasty and tempting indeed, but now that I'm getting all crazymad nostalgic about my beloved Ohio-based foodstuffs, one of the things I think about wistfully nearly every morning, and wish I could have here in Tampa is a Café Voltaire from my all time fave coffeehouse, Arabica. That perfect combination of hot cocoa and espresso, all smothered with a mountainous dollop of delicate whipped cream is something I used to enjoy every morning on the way to work, and now I can only yearn for it every morning.

Combine that Voltaire with a generous portion of their heavenly chicken almond grape salad, and you've got a lunch to die for. Maybe not as greasygood as the Swenson's/Strickland's combo, but it comes damn close!

I know, right? We used to go there every summer weekend when I was a kid. Damn, I miss their custard. Come to think of it, though, I miss custard and custard stands, period. I've never seen one here in Tampa, so maybe custard stands are a uniquely northern experience.

Mary Coyle is yet another excellent ice cream parlor in Akron. Lordy, I have to stop this, or the calories will bind themselves to my thighs from all the way in Ohio!

Well, well, friend of mine,....

Since you're drowning today in Tampa (thank goodness, even I'm getting some rain that we desparately need), you might consider sending me a Cuban sandwich minus pickles!

I miss Ybor City!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, today's breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert were brought to you by OHIO, one of those big middle states.

Please wipe up all drool as you exit the Board. Thank you.

Uh oh...You're bring out the good healthy stuff to battle against the artery-clogging, greasy-infested morsels of goodness.

I feel weak, life passing before my eyes...health-food is kryptonite to my junk-food-craving-fried-food-loving Super Gut...ohhhh the horror....I'm Melting...melting

Good for you on the 40-pounds-less-ness...I'm on the same path, 40 down, 20 to go. AND...i managed to do it the old fashioned way with lots of exercise and sensible eating. I still crave the good stuff and If i get back to my beloved State, you can bet your shiney metal arse my first stop will be Swensons, then Mary Coyles, Then Stricklands...I'll have to get 2 seats for the plane ride home, one for each butt I grew.

Yep, Ohio IS for LOVERS of ALL THINGS...'specially FuD.

Turn Right at IL, if you hit PA, you went too far.

Dude, if I hit PA, I'm not stopping until I get to the ocean.

That's so funny--whenever we get stuff catered in for monthly meetings and parties at work, I always take the pickles off the cuban sandwiches too! I like pickles, just not usually on sandwiches.

IMO, the best Cuban sandwich comes from The Silver Ring on 7th Ave in Ybor--delish!!

Here's a great recipe from "Three Guys From Miami" for yummy cubans the true Tampa way (which means adding Genoa salami):

Cuban Sandwich (sandwich mixto):

Ingredients:

Cuban bread
Butter, softened
1 pound ham sliced
1 pound lechón asado (roasted Cuban pork) sliced
1 pound Genoa salami, sliced
1/2 pound Swiss cheese, sliced (Use a mild Swiss -- Baby Swiss is perfect)
Sliced dill pickles
Yellow mustard (optional)

To make four generous sandwiches:

Preheat a pancake griddle or large fry pan. Cut the bread into sections about 8 inches long. Cut these in half and spread butter on both halves (inside). Make each sandwich with the ingredients in this order: pickles, roasted pork, ham, salami and cheese. Be generous!

NOTE: Most people use a sweet cured ham (jamón dulce) or bolo ham for Cuban sandwiches. If you can find these hams in your area, great. Otherwise, look for a slightly sweet, soft textured ham with a mild taste. You don't want the flavor of the ham to overpower the rest of the ingredients! Also, never use shaved ham or pork in a Cuban sandwich!

Place the sandwich on the hot griddle (fry pan) sprayed with a little "Pam" or lightly greased. Place a heavy iron skillet or bacon press on top of the sandwich to flatten. (You really want to smash the sandwich, compressing the bread to about 1/3 its original size!) Grill the sandwiches for two to three minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden. Make sure your griddle or fry pan is not TOO HOT! Otherwise, the crust will burn before the cheese melts. Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve.

Enjoy!

Then, if you go through Maryland on your way, stop at the Crab Barn in Rehobeth Beach. That's where I learned about Crabs. They bring a tray of em to you smothered in Old Bay.

I was a crab-virgin on my first visit. They supply you with a wooden mallet when they bring out the crabs. I thought it was for opening up the suckers, so did what any mechanically-minded person would do...I commensed to whackin my crabs. Hey, give a woman a tool and she'll use it.

The waitress came over to me and politely whispered in my ear "honey, you're not fom here, are you?" She turned one of the non-splattered crabs over and showed me the pull tab the God His/Herself placed there to get to the meat.

Hey, if they didn't want me to whack crabs, they shouldn't have given me the hammer, no?

Way cool! I copied it and will have to try it.

THANKS!!!!!!

The majority of people I know who are gay or bi are very tolerant of other feelings regarding their lifestyles. Everyone has a right to their opinion. It seems the people who are intolerant are those heterosexuals who will not even listen to others opinions about sexual orientation. My mother who is very religious and doesn't approve of my lifestyle is tolerant of other opinions. Even though she doesn't agree with how I live me life she still respects me as a person and never once have I ever felt unloved. I have coworkers who don't approve of my lifestyle but they are able to look past their feelings and see me as a person. Some of these coworkers are my good friends. No one knows what goes on in peoples bedrooms. You shouldn't judge someone just because of that.
What would you do if one of your children was gay or bi?

Ah yes, how I loves me some crab virgins. Too bad you didn't have me to gently pop your crab cherry. You wouldn't haven't even been allowed to TOUCH the mallet with me around. I would have cleaned the first one for you (to get you hooked on sweet meat) then walked you thru the second, then left you to fend for yourself. And if you adapted quickly, bring that woman home to meet Mom, cuz she's a keeper.
Rehoboth is my old stomping grounds. Which beach did you hang at, Poodle Beach or State Park?

LOL! Oh, there's not even any contest there--the greasygood will always beat the healthy stuff hands down. Besides, that Cafe Voltaire probably has enough calories that it may as well be a Swenson's burger!

Now if I could just wrap my lips around a big old bowl of Bob Evans sausage gravy 'n biscuits, a frosty root beer float and a "teen burger" from A&W (I think they stopped naming them after family members a decade or two ago, though), and a side of Arthur Treacher's hush puppies, I'll be all set!



Good on you too--congrats on your weight loss!!! I don't think we'll ever stop craving the good stuff more than the good for us stuff, but as long as we only dream about most of it and treat ourselves in moderation, I'd like to think that makes for a healthy balance of both worlds!

So ... just what is the mallet for, then?

That, my sweet OHIO Milkmaid, would be for the claws.

Snap Snap.

I know the Silver Ring!!! Now you have ME drooling. My great-grandparents lived on Davis Island.

I have found no other place that can do better!!
