I've grilled Boudin, but my local source for it is out on business.

[Ex Finn.]

My Cajun co worker hooks me up with stuff that I do not usually see here.

[Parallax]

Did you boil them first?

[rod_grant]

It's nice seeing this guy here again.

Yep. We missed him.
(even though I have been weaning myself off this useless thread!! - It has done nothing for my photography, just chewed up a lot of time.)

I'd say they probably work better when no-one is blowing into them.
In fact, they probably work best when left alone in the back of a dark cupboard!

But have you heard the failing record sound they make while the bag is going down.


Must be an engineer. Have you noticed how engineers spend most of their time thinking and calculating what happens while stuff is breaking?

Long ago, Mother Nature decided that mice, though adequately fulfilling their role in the overall scheme of things, weren't quite what she had originally had in mind so She held a contest for the redesign that would incorporate some very slight changes.
She adopted two of the contest entries, and both species are still around to this day.
The one submitted by a group of commoners from the village is the rat.
The one submitted by a group of engineers is the elephant.

The pork and rice is already fully cooked before stuffing the casing. They just need to be re-heated.

And now we know why elephants are afraid of mice.

I thought the elephant was designed by committee

As well as the platypus

Anything worth engineering is worth over engineering.
Then the bean counters get involved and we end up with Walmart grade junk instead of durable goods.

Years ago one of our bosses, a civil engineer, was out in the field with us "helping out"
It was a windy day and he was having trouble getting the transit set up over a point due to a swaying plumb bob.
Rather than stand and block the wind from the string, he got down on his knees and cupped his hands around it.
It being a 16 oz. brass plumb bob.

I knowd I are a eengineer, cos I coud spel it.






















It.




















{Did ya see that?}

[Parallax]

We shouldn't be disparaging engineers here.
Without them we'd be at the mercy of administrators and bureaucrats.

I prefer the engineers' result.


Who would want a rat.

I know the variation of that: "six munce ago I couldn't spell enjuneer, now I are one".


Guess what, I misspelled engineering on the front cover of my last exam paper. It was one of the words in the name of the subject.
