There are a lot of clever folks in the packaged food biz. Many duds also, for sure. Give Oscar Meyer Fast Franks! a try. Certainly not a Ted's char-broiled, but if you have the urge for a quick hot dog, they easily surpass something like boiled stadium fare. You have to explicitly follow the directions. Absolutely amazing that the bun survives intact and soft. Nice job by Oscar Inc. They run about 3 bucks for a package of three. Like any hot dog, they are nutritional bombs. I seldom cook up much of the ready-to-eat stuff, but these are well worth giving a shot. Also, give Bob Evans' Original Mashed Potatoes a try. They are deep in the "sinfully good" category.

You raise key points. Yesterday, I stopped into a local convenience store, and this poor schmuck was busy re-loading his 3 kids into his van and strapping them into their state-mandated kiddie cocoons, because it's a crime here, to walk 15 feet into a store and leave the darling whelp in the vehicle for one second...

Not so fast. It would give the dogs being walked by, by their non-respectful owners, something else to urinate on besides my lawn, corner garden, and trees. I've pretty much won the feces battle, though. A combination of repellent capsaicin spray and diazinon-like pesticide around the lawn periphery and on the planting strip is effective. The occasional plop is dealt with as usual - scooped up and placed in the middle of the sidewalk...does send the desired message. What a civil society it would be, if 40 years ago, a bunch of Age of Aquarius self-serving nipsh*ts didn't wring their hands and sob over a man's urban fencing.

Maurice Wells, RB OSU. Not a bad RB, but fumbles were a problem.

Dawgg: a species. Specifically, b. dorkus amongus.

Try an inexpensive one and see how it works out. The one I have takes a cup of water and a cup of rice in an aluminum bowl. Plug it in, and it heats and water evaporates out of a hole in the glass lid. underneath the bowl is a disc/switch arrangement with a spring providing upward pressure. As the weight in the bowl diminishes via the evaporation, the bowl is pushed upward so that the switch shuts off the heat. An indicator light goes out - then you let it set 15 minutes. The brand was Salton. It was, best as I recall, something like 25 bucks. It does a good job. Haven't used it in quite a while, though. I've been using the "Success" brand boil-in-a-bag brown rice. Simple as can be: drop it in the pan turn the heat on. When it starts to boil, let it continue for nine minutes. Pick it up with tongs and hold it against the side of the pan to allow for drainage. Perfect rice. The box says you can let it sit for up to 1/2 hour in the water after removed from the heat. They are right. http://www.successrice.com/en-us/products/40/BrownRice.aspx

EZC - for folks attending only one event...induction or game, I mention that there are a pair of fine races at Mid Ohio racetrack that weekend. A LeMans GT race and an Indy car race. Mid-Ohio is a road course, not an oval. It's about an hour away from Canton. http://www.midohio.com/Schedule/Acura-Spor...da-200-at-Mid-O

Not bad at all. If you like to make rice dishes, I recommend getting a rice cooker. Search around for features.

Yep!

:doh:

But you have said that you can't/won't/don't cook. Right...or am I being harsh and snotty?

Sounds like he can do it all!

I thought the same. It's Fez...he earns his living extracting, hunting for data about everything and everybody. Bad Fez.

The Two Fat Ladies. What a nice tv show that was. Cooked, drank, smoked, waxed eloquent, rode motorcycles in old age.

You buying?

Shhh.

That was a fun one. I seem to recall words to the effect, by one of our posters "...after Artest sucker punched Harry Potter (a kid in the stands) he then went after..."

No clues that I have.

I own Zinc, same as Al G.

With the NFL ST changes about the "wedge (no more than 2 now), will they maintain their favorable positions to begin drives?

Actually...they don't. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. They still passionately buy into Comrade Obama, for example.

My guess is that he got a message. He F'd around, well out of his circle of knowledge and with the usual snottiness of young experience about life. All in all, a poor decision unless you have the chops and the power. IIRC, he threatened to hunt down one of their lady lawyers, and named her in hope of popular support.

Not bad...the begging to delete the thread by Stoj because of the mounting threat of legal action against him was memorable.
