Got some mighty fine BBQ (well, for "up North") here yesterday. Still lickin' the fingers over the leftovers. The guy even threw in HALF a sweet potato pie when I got the family ribs pack (yankees don't eat it, I guess?)
Boston.com blurb says:
TENNESSEE'S 341 Cochituate Rd., (Rte. 30), Framingham, 508-626-7140.

HOMERISM:Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.
Lyric of the day:
Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning 'round
And I still love you
--James Taylor "You Can Close Your Eyes" from the album "Mud Slide Slim And the Blue Horizon"
HOMERISM:Canada? Why would I want to leave America just to visit America, Jr.?
And if she asks you why
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
I want the world to share and castle walls
just lead me to despair.
--Don McLean "Castles In The Air"
Lyric of the day:
Think it over, might not be today
You'll know what to do.
When it all turns around
Think it over might not see the way
Right in front of you
Deer count on the drive back from PA. 11 deer spotted: 7 road kill, 4 live, feeding happily in a group, dangerously close to the road on I-81 in PA.
RAIN RAIN RAIN all weekend. RAIN all week. OH WAIT, I see a ray of sunshine coming in through the sliding glass doors! WAAA HHHHOOOO.
It's freakin' raining this morning and it's supposed to all weekend. I'll have to drive cautiously. Hey, that makes it sound like I only drive with caution on trips in the rain. Sheesh.
Taking off for a few days to travel to PA Dutch Country to see the folks. Going to hit IKEA with my sister on Saturday. I think it's wise to remove the back seat from my minivan so I have plenty of room for goodies! Happy Memorial Day!
Here comes the bride..all dressed in....polyethelene and white....
HOMERISM:Internet. They have that on computers now?
Lyric of the day:
Into the smallness of our deconstruction of love
We thought it was changing but it never was
It's just the same as it ever was
--Emily Saliers "Deconstruction" from the Indigo Girls album "Become You."
HOMERISM: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Lyric of the day:
I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening?
--Jackson Browne "The Pretender" from the album "The Pretender"
HOMERISM: "Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is like another nail."

Lyric of the Day:
I would love to believe .. I believe what you say.
In the drama of the moment, oh, there's no easy way.
--Stevie Nicks "Fireflies" from the album "Fleetwood Mac Live"
Lyric of the Day:
You and I we were captured
We took our souls
and we flew away
We were right
we were giving
That's how we kept
what we gave away.
--Neil Young "Comes A Time" from the album "Comes A Time"
I just love the name of this website! Be sure to check out their slogan, too!
I don't think fig leaves grow like this, in nature, do they?
Lyric of the day:
The closest thing to God that I have heard, is when I knew I did not have the final word.
--Dar Williams "The World's Not Falling Apart" from the album "The Beauty of the Rain"
So you can remind your friends that Jesus loves them while you HIT THEM HARD with a soaker ball!
Lyric of the day:
There's a bone in my ear
Keeps singing your name
Sometimes it's like pleasure
Sometimes it's like pain
--- Bruce Cockburn "Bone In My Ear" from the album "Dart To The Heart"
Lyric of the day:
I would burn the soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again
--From Lucinda Williams "Get Right With God"
But can he use that hoolahoop ELSEWHERE? I think not. And thank GOD for the strategically placed plastic bin in the background.

A sign that there is too much pork fat or perhaps Molson in the Canadian diet?
I'm so sick of these frivolous lawsuits! Has this guy ever heard of MODERATION? I bet he liked "New Coke," too.
Oh Larry, where art thou? (at least Danny's coming back!)
Attention criminals: GET PLASTIC SURGERY if you look like Quasimodo.
Help may be on the way for Trekkies suffering from mental illness. "Multnomah County research has found many people consider Klingon to be a complete language." Uh huh. And so is pig latin!
And could you please spray a little on the windshield while you're at it, Father?
I have now sworn off McDonald's forever. Not only has the food gone down hill, but based on today's experience in particular, so has the service. That Joe Pesci rant in "Lethal Weapon 2" applies: "
They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru, okay? They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru! They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! They know you're not gonna turn around and go back, they don't care."
I pulled up to the impersonal speaker, ordered a hamburger, small fries, and a small diet coke. The friendly almost-English-speaking employee replied, "$3.03 at the first weendow." So, I followed instructions. I handed the girl $3.10 and she gave me .97 in change. I tried to explain to her that she gave me too much change, but she didn't seem to understand. Feeling guilty, I threw the overpayment into the Ronald McDonald house change collection. Then I proceeded to the second window to collect my "food." The smiling woman handed me a bag and a medium soda. Oh well. I wasn't about to get into yet another explanation. I looked in the bag. Medium fries and a wrapped sandwich. FINE. I asked for small, but oh well. Now I get home and get ready to sink my teeth into a burger and unwrap it to find a BURGER WITH A BITE ALREADY TAKEN from it. Joy joy joy. I threw the entire bag away. So, for 3 bucks, I got a medium soda. Sheesh. I am now finished with McDonald's for good! Probably just as well.
NO, but I bet they can write better than Jacqueline Susann!
And this is news BECAUSE?
You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends...and..... you CAN...
Would you like a lugie with that?
In regards to the ziti from last night....the boys ate 1 of the pans of ziti in about 15 minutes, the second pan was about 1/3 consumed before it just sat there on the kitchen island, mocking me. I wrapped it up and will have the neighbors over for a ziti feast tomorrow night. (reminder: GET BEER and they won't notice it's 2-day old ziti.)
No, really, HONEST, it's for charity.
