Theme and Variation

Ladies and gentlemen:
gpod talk
Also, a good line:
When [Joe] Hipp Fought Tommy Morrison in a Major Heavyweight Fight in Reno on June 27, 1992, Morrison, a "White Hope," Was on Steroids. They Didn't Start Testing for Steroids Until a Few Years Later. Hipp Would Have Tested Positive for Gravy.

Well, gravy contains sodium, which is an electrolyte...

Gotta market "sport gravy".

Gonna make millions.

Substance McGravitas said...

You could have one for each sport.

Hoops fans could have Ball Gravy.

Smut Clyde said...

Brawndo Sports Gravy!

Substance McGravitas said...

Is gravy a euphemism for some kind or performance enhancing drugs

Euphemism no, performance-enhancing drug for offensive linemen and perhaps sumo wrestlers.

MagicBee said...

Are comments supposed to be remarkably terse and sporty? Am I oerstepping these boundaries. New and confused.

Smut Clyde said...

"Sumo wrestlers" is a trigger for some of your readers, S.McG.

Sue more wrestlers?

Tart reform, that's what we need in this country!

I don't care about the fight, the fighters, or steroids really, but Telepathic Ed does, and he made a funny.

mikey said...

I gotta get me one of those gPods...

MagicBee said...

How do I find Telepathic Ed?

Follow the gpod talk link.

Gravy mightily improves the performance of biscuits.

And "trained in a cake factory".

mikey said...

I've got a chicken I'm going to roast tomorrow. I'll let you know how the gravy turns out. In honor of the olympics I'll mash a couple Yukon Golds.

I'm roasting the chicken because it's auspicious for new year. You see, it would be challenging to roast a tiger. The casualty rate would be, well, inauspicious....

Substance McGravitas said...

You can pretend to eat a tiger...

Hamish Mack said...

Hey hey, no more Tiger Woodie jokes. Man, you guys...

mikey said...

Huh.

I've done something similar with deer and rabbit. I've never killed a cow. Well, there was this water buff once, but I was making a point, not dinner.

Setting aside all the mystical crap, there is something pretty satisfying about eating something freshly killed. It kinda makes sense - you can't lose a quarter million years of evolution in a few hundred years of industrial revolution.

Of course, my doc wants me to eat less meat, so I'm going meatless two days a week. But it's conditional. Either I can figure out how to make it work for me, or I'm dropping the entire concept. I don't care THAT much about living forever...

Substance McGravitas said...

I don't care THAT much about living forever...

Agreed.

Steak Tartare used to make me nervous when I saw Frogs munching a whole plate of it, but now I don't mind a bite or two of raw beef when fixing some.

Not as a whole damn entree though.

tigris said...

I didn't think E. coli was related to the freshness of the meat so much as whether it came in contact with P00P at some point in its preparation?

fish said...

I think I could take Toni Morrison in a fight. Not sure though.

Another Kiwi said...

Tigris is correct. E.coli and POOP go together

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

as Sadly, No has proven time and time again, POOP goes with EVERYTHING....

Smut Clyde said...

A universal condiment.

Smut Clyde said...

Hipp Would Have Tested Positive for Gravy.

He would at least have admitted it, because these Hipps don't lie.
