Do tell...

Holy Crow, enough, already!

Some day soon, I hope, you will show greater tolerance for people with tastes that differ from your own and stop insulting those of us who regard Irish steak sauce as a staple of everyday dining.

That includes putting it on a hot dog, as I do (with sauerkraut).

Come on now, you don't want to be thought of as another self-appointed arbiter of good taste who feels compelled to decide what's the right way to eat a freakin' frank or burger, do you?

You...the rebel who stands tallest among rebels...The Lone Ogre himself....of all people, I would expect you to get that. Yeesh.

Along the same lines...I keep hearing about this little eatery in (How's this for irony?) New Haven, CT that claims to have invented the hamburger around the turn of the last century. Well, while I love burgers AND history, I've refused to make the trip.

Why? Because this place also makes it known that the use of ketchup is banned from the premises, so don't dare ask for it.

To which I say: WTF? I like my burger cooked well done, served with two pickle slices and a slice of tomato atop the patty, to which I add, as a finishing touch, a dab of...(gasp) ketchup.

And to which I also say: "De gustibus non est disputandum."

I'll leave it to others to debate the slicing of pizza. I just want it sliced somehow, recalling ones I've had delivered that arrived uncut.

BANNED?

Wow. What a bunch of granola crunching, touchy feely, sprouty, hippie, puss-wads.

Wait. What was the forum for?

The National Sausage Council says 18.

I remember a teacher telling me all this in the cafeteria when I was in Junior High and thinking he had no idea what he was talking about and at 17 I worked at a Portillo's and found out he'd been right all along.

Somewhere in between, I stopped being a cretin. When, exactly, I don't know.

But I've loved lobster for as far back as I can remember. My parents didn't deny me good taste just because I was young and they wouldn't let me use good seafood as a vehicle for consuming lots of melted butter, so you have to ask yourself "Why would I deny my child enlightenment based on their age?"

Unsliced pizza? Consider owning this object!

COMMANDERCOOL STORY TIME CONTINUES:

If I recall it was for a group of people who hosted a server or servers for video games. This was a few years ago and I joined with a few friends because at the time they were the only server in the world that hosted Air Buccaneers and we wanted to arrange a tournament. If I'm not mistaken the tournament did take place and was the highest number of people playing that game simultaneously ever, but I missed it.

Grilled sausages of any kind are often ruined by adding anything, including a bun!

If I took a well-grilled hot dog and "dragged it through the garden" I hope one of you would be there to smack me in the back of the head.

I'll but a little mustard and maybe some onions on grilled sausages, but that's IT!

Man, I haven't had a cigar in FOREVER!!!

That'd be sweet.

Avengers The Colonel...

It was kinda a joke in the first place, man.

Everyone was posting bragging posts and in an effort to not post something that had anything to do with bragging I started waxing philosophical about llamas and that's where it took me.

No one seems to be grasping the subtlety of my humor today.






But that place that says they invented the burger is wrong. If memory serves, it was actually invented before they could have existed, but more important is the fact that Ketchup DOES belong on burgers! If they don't know that ketchup is meant to enhance the taste of red meats and mustard is meant to enhance the taste of white meats, then I wouldn't trust anything they have to say.

Well said, Sox. I happen to think ketchup on hot dogs is disgusting, but I won't tell anybody that they shouldn't do it if they happen to like it. Even my own daughter. On her 19th birthday.

Holy Crow...I LOVE it! But strictly as a gift idea --- most definitely NOT as a purchase for this household.

I'm still trying to decide which I've lost more of during my lifetime: umbrellas that were left on buses or pizza cutters that were left in boxes put out for trash.

Just the same...thank you, commander!

My mistake...
