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.

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

    Gotta market "sport gravy".

  2. You could have one for each sport.

    Hoops fans could have Ball Gravy.

  3. Is gravy a euphemism for some kind or performance enhancing drugs

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

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

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

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

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

  10. 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....

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

  12. 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...

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

    Agreed.

  14. 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.

  15. 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?

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

  17. Tigris is correct. E.coli and POOP go together

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

  19. Hipp Would Have Tested Positive for Gravy.

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