> A guy who worked with Connie used to yell out "Fire Brewed!".

Better fire brewed than fire in the hole.

It really meant that his children were distant, in the 
south, and he was grateful for not having to see them.

I was a few years behind Molly Ivins in Houston at the 
same high school. I think I win.

> But then again I know a guy who said he had a crush on Sarah
> Palin when they were in high school.

As with many high school girls, she was probably fine
if she didn't speak when she opened her mouth.

My father used to claim he had a crush on Maggie 
Thatcher when he was going for his fud and she was 
an undergraduette in the same lab.

Uh huh.

      Title: Flea Buster Orgasmic
      1 oz Tincture of damiana
      1 oz Tincture of Muira Puama
 Said to increase libido.

I looked up those nonculinary ingredients: they are 
supposed to improve female response. Of course, white 
wine and triple sec by themselves should do that.

      Title: Cajun Spice Mix #2
 Categories: Spices/etc.
      Yield: 1 servings

      2 Tb Red Pepper
      1 Tb Black Pepper
      1 Tb White Pepper
      1 Tb Thyme
  1 1/2 ts Garlic Powder
  1 1/2 ts Onion Powder
  1 1/2 ts Seasoned salt

  Mix peppers, herbs and spices, store in an air tight container.

  Spice is great on most all meats; including pork chops and steaks;
chicken
  and seafoods.  The food to be blackened should be moistened on both sides
  with butter or margarine.  Then coated with the spice mix.  The coated
meat
  should then be cooked in a white hot cast iron skillet on both sides
until
  degree of wellness is reached and spice looks like a black crust.  Shrimp
  should be peeled, leaving only the tails on.  Foods my also be cooked on
  very hot grill.  Always cook in well ventilated area, as mixture may
smoke
  alot.  Amount of coating is to taste.  This is a very spicy mix.  Start
  lite and work your way up.

  Blackened shrimp makes for great appetizer along with a good cocktail
  sauce.  Shrimp need to be attened continually while cooking as it only
  requires a couple minutes each side.
