OT: Puns n' COSes

[jwhouk]

So. Y'all might be wondering what's up with me.

In 21 more days, I will be (for all intents and purposes) retired from the state of Wisconsin.

In the meantime, I have been doing everything I can to keep from being put in bad situations at work - which include getting ordered into cottages where I'd feel extremely unsafe. (Google "Lincoln Hills School Wisconsin" to find out why I say that.)

I just gotta make it to the 14th of December. Then... vacay in AZ, leading to PERMANENT "vacay" in AZ.

Hang in there. Relief is on the way!

I had wondered where you were but I know things are hectic there right now. I'd seen enough things on FB from you or Mrs. JWH to know you were okay.

I wish pecan pie was popular in the Northern United States.

You mean...it's not? I mean, it's sugar, butter and nuts, what could be tastier?

It's not, at all. I've never actually had pecan pie. I think I'll have to make one at some point because every Thanksgiving I'm reminded of it and I remember how good it looks.

Weird. I get it all the time over here in Ohio, so it's not just a Midwest thing either.

But you have southern relatives, don't you?

If you've ever had chess pie it's basically the same thing with nuts.

It's actually not my favorite pie but I like it. Best pie I ever had was a Derby pie my friend's sister made. It was a combination of pecan pie, chocolate pie, and cheesecake and had a little bourbon in it. My sister makes the best crust ever so if I could combine Dena's crust and Merrili's pie, I'd be a very happy camper.

 

[Viqsi]

True, but that's just how I know of its existence and glory; one can find it independently.

I am surprised that Cracker Barrel, based in Lebanon Tn., does not have Pecan Pie on the menu. I know they are in Wi.

Aren't Edwards Pies available in the frozen foods department?

 

[Adz]

Cracker Barrel does not have Pecan Pie??? I never noticed. That's crazy.

Only time I ever get dessert is if it's included in the meal and even then I rarely eat it. Just not a sweets person, would rather have my limited sugar allotment in the form of a potato or an alcoholic beverage. Ha!

I can't ever recall it being a thing growing up, then again, I hadn't heard of things like Biscuits & Gravy until 10 years ago, after moving.

That was also whenever the word Barbecue was used, I took it as grilling Burgers & Hot Dogs in the backyard, ha.

But after 10 years in God's Country you know now that that is a COOK OUT.
Barbecue involves well, barbecue!

A bit of a confession: I do not like biscuits and gravy nor sweet tea. I know, I should hand in my southern card but I won't because I do have the accent.

Enh. I always heard them interchangably up here. Mostly "cook out", though.

Game changing conversation: 'So, you want to tryout for our sled hockey team?'

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Just going to leave this right here and then we're gonna keep 'er movin'.

De Pere.
Ha ha ha!

I think that guy has to be related to my brother in law, also from Manitowoc.

 

[sparkle twin]

Looking through the Preds calendar, (I'm sure it's just the pose, but) Sissons looks like he gained some guns.

Haha he's from Elm Grove (Milwaukee suburb).

That De Pere joke cracked me up. Mainly because my brother had a roommate in college who didn't know it was pronounced "Da Pier" and he called it "Day Peray" and he was frickin' from Wisconsin. My entire family is from the Manitowoc/Two Rivers area for the most part and I posted the one with the Bedminster video because my uncle lives like 10 minutes from there, so more family connections.

But mainly I posted it for the De Pere joke. I can't tell if it's so stupid it's funny or if it's just legitimately funny.

Also enjoyed the water skiing one.

 

[Adz]

I found it legitimately funny.

So I got a trophy on here saying I migrated to Xenforo. What does that mean? Did they change our forums again or is this just a commemoration of when we did it before?

Xenforo's what we're presently on. Dunno what the heck that's about.

Thanks, I thought it was kind of weird. I'm not up on forum names or anything--I looked it up thinking it was a character in a video game.

WSMV is a clown show now.

Demetria Kalodimos cleaned out her desk overnight (but still works at Channel 4?)

 

[jwhouk]

I am one week from my last day of (real) work, and one month from my formal retirement.

It's not really all that and a bag of chips; essentially I'm resigning and getting a monthly check as a consolation prize for having slaved for the SOWI for 24+ years.

Anyone get to see the Janet concert? Because holy shit...
