The Original O'l Farts Club.

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Someone gifted me this 'erb called Gorilla Skittles - that was purchased at The Green Merchant - it looked quite dry and old - when being rolled - Just toked maybe one quarter of a spliff of it - and I've now got the giggles - which is nice -

The whole world, Gypsy, at least our small part of it (OF's), is dying to know what in the heck Crocodile sticks taste like. Is it burning hot like a lot of Thai food, or is it too breaded to know? I have had frog legs, even spicy frog legs, so I know what some reptile tastes like (yum). I might get there one day, and want to know if it is worth the adventure, or not..

There useta be a small diner by the tracks in Deerfield Beach (south Floriduh) that served fried cooter and alligator. It was really good -- to the point I went and got seconds. TINS.

Gator is bland like chicken or frogs legs. Not an "edgy" flavor like liver or oysters. I never had crocodile, but then crocodile/gavial/alligator are just different kinds of chickens.

But I haven't a clue as to what spices they put on them in the Pacific Rim.

Sorry mate - I didn't partake - but I'm thinking about it - will be over there again later on this week - and might - just might try and eat a bit of crocodile -

There was so much food there - but I'd just had a big breakfast - from this huge hotel buffet - so wasn't hungry - was thirsty though - so found a guy with some coconuts - and he extracted the white meat and juice within it perfectly - from the husk -

- fresh coconut juice when chilled - is particularly good at quenching the thirst -

He shells the coconut - and sells the meat and juice of the fruit - which are both very healthy to drink and eat -

I would give my left nut and a year in Hell to be able to shuck coconuts like that guy. Bloody amazing.

Coconuts are available to me to the point of, "Awshit, gotta go gather them up and throw them in the woods again."

There are a couple of dozen coconut trees growing either on the lot across the street, or in my jungle front yard as a result of me tossing yet another round of coconuts into the bushes.

They have so much - so many spices - sauces and flavours even I am yet to discover - after being a keen and regular visitor to Thailand - for over 4 decades now - wow - does time fly - alot of Thai cuisine/sauces are based around fish and soy sauces - alot of Tamarind is used too - often with coconut - and 🌶 chilli's - Kafir Lime Leaves - and Lemon Grass - Galangal too - and many others -

There were some foods - that didn't look so appetising -

Yuck - Durian is a very popular and expensive fruit here - but it smells like someone who fell in a septic tank - and died - a very long-long time ago -

Some huge Jackfruit was to be seen - makes me wonder who the Jack was - that had a fruit named after him -

DURIAN!!! <-- YIKES -- In public? I was introduced to durian a half-century ago (ohshit... more than a half-century!) I can still smell the burned vomit odor.

It stunk so bad, there was a law you could not have one in a hotel lobby or on a bus. <-- TINS Dunno if this still obtains. But if somebody dropped one on the floor, the smell would last for days.

The smell is very strong and has been described as a combination of sulfur, sewage, fruit, honey, and roasted and rotting onions. A study on the aromatic compounds in durian found 44 active compounds, including some that contribute to scents of skunk, caramel, rotten egg, fruit, and soup seasoning.

To me, it smelled like a leper with diarrhea. Oh... Another thing: Durian is sorta poisonous with a texture of baby shit. The little that I (had to) eat gave me cramps and the quick-step for two days.

how many of you old farts busted a thermometer and played with the mercury?…

many times for me…..I know , that may explain a lot of things about my state of being

One time in High School, I put my hand in a big jar of mercury. What a weird feeling!

I have seen a video of my friend who owned A fishing stop for over over 30 years.
He stays in Fla for the winter. He was with a friend visiting him . A teacher and a terminator concerning fishing.
In a small boat fishing the friend says "Hey Stan ! whats that?" The friend was recording scenery. Stan says "Dont know". Minute later I hear the stress in the friends voice " Hey Stan Stan".
They recognized it to be a saltwater croc and charged the boat.
It was all on camera .video and voice .
After that Stan got a bigger boat.

Awright. Unca's Fess-Up To Cowardice Time. I have been on CNN hand-feeding sharks. I even have the video.

BUT -- I wuz alone down in the Keys to explore the jungly part (if you go left instead of right toward Key West) to see if it would be worth trying to go crabbing there. Using scuba.

So... I got in, and decided not to think about the fact that these backwaters had crocodiles in them. Sure.

I wasn't in the water for two minutes before the humongous manatee/crocodile/minisub/I dunno whathefuckitwas/ came whipping by from behind me to duck under my view in a cloud of silty mud.

Curdled my sperm.

Super short dive. Lasted only as long as it took to get the hell outa there.

 

[Boo]

mmm...snacks...

Ya - I steer clear of Durian too - like you - it gave me the trots - for a coupla days also - as if I'd eaten something that had died and rotted - just like the fruit smells -

in the hands of someone who knows the way.

Wanna know what is even better? If neither knows the way, and both contribute to finding out way(s).

 

[Unca Walt]

Actually it might take Admin to do it...depending on if the mods are given access to the Admin Control Panel. Gypsy can change it at any rate.

Yabbut... you fuck with my his vacation over there, I'll get D.B. to whack you so hard that anyone that even looks like you will get hurt.

Good Morning All (OF's):

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today's Monday: "Can't Trust That Day". And the work week begins. One day closer to a weekend!

See you all tomorrow (again)!

 

[cola]

Another oldie I always liked when it came on. The melody on this one is alluring. Enjoy your morning cuppas, OF's.

A week into Pon Farr for Bubba and he is nearly insane at this point.
Only thing saving me is his virginity cuz if he KNEW what his instincts were actually telling him he would be in it.......hopefully distract him with some steaks.
Poor fellas not eating much.

Dear me... That rang a bell. Horny Vulcans, Batman!!

IIRC, All lady Vulcans are... well... HOT. And when they go into heat with that hotness, they become awfully naughty.

I remember thinking at the time that segment broadcasted:

If the Vulcans are so logical, and they knew this was gonna happen from time to time... Why did they not organize it?

When a Vulcan guy has a Vulcan need for a Vulcan hottie for a Vulcan good afternoon... and vice-versa -- Just check into the famous Vulcan No-Tell Motel.

Roll it up

Mark it: "Botanical Specimen -- DO NOT DELAY" on a box and send it to me.

Now now - that sounds suspiciously like someone talking to a sperm donor -

* or is it this Gorilla Skittles 'erb - warping my judgement - and making me silly ?

Yabbut... you fuck with my his vacation over there, I'll get D.B. to whack you so hard that anyone that even looks like you will get hurt.

Now you've got me curious - Hmmm - must have missed something - hard to keep up with this thread - it's so busy - which is good - but hard to keep up with -

 

[Yarddog]

Morning.

 

[Gray Wolf]

I bet you have another pair just like that in the drawer!

I do that as well. Don't care!

I buy my socks two or three dozen at a time so they are all identical and no sorting required. When I find a hole in them, I tie a knot in them and throw them away.

When I find a hole in my skivvies, I do like Subbie and stick a finger in the hole and rip so that they don't get mixed with the good ones. Skivvies and tee shirts make good rags. Socks, not so much....

Good morning brothers and sisters!

More rain starting at 39F and predicted to reach 46F.

Organized my office desk and file cabinet yesterday and finished harvesting the herb garden yesterday. I will take out the tomato plants today between rain showers.

Made reservations at Huber's for their famous "Thanksgiving" turkey dinner on the 23rd with friends and have invited family to eat Thanksgiving dinner with us on the 28th.

Gym first thing this morning, followed by a nice walk with Miss Layla.
