What did BBM teach you about food + drink?   

 by - yaadpyar (Wed Mar 8 2006 06:18:02 )    

 What do we know about food and BBM (story or movie): -

In cases of extreme grief, offer coffee and cherry cake -

Stud duck is NOT a meal -

Texans don't drink coffee -

Them soup boxes is hard to pack

Others? "

 One should never eat animals that they are being paid to guard, no matter how sick of beans one might be. -Nicole

 When you're truly intimate with someone, eating (and drinking) with them is natural and easy. When you're not, you'd just as soon make a solitary meal of beer and cigarettes.

 Don't let the Fish and Game catch you with an elk out of season.
And nothing tastes as good as barbecued elk when you're eating it with your best buddy!

 No such thing as a non-smoking section anywhere, any time.
Smokes go with everything.

 When you're getting paid to guard the sheep, don't eat 'em.

 I appreciate you starting this thread, yaadpyar, but I can't eat no cake right now.

 Whiskey is best consumed directly from the bottle.

 Awwwww, Elle. Hope you're feeling better soon. Your sparkle adds so much to everything you touch.

 When one is living outdoors, drying elk meat not only produces a tasty snack but can give one an elegant decorative scheme for the camp site.

 Someone on the main board mentioned a BBM-themed party with these drinks: -Cranberry Vodka with a Jack Twist -Ennis del Mar-tinis -Brokeback Mount Gay Rum and Coke (Mount Gay Rum is a real brand!) -Frisky Cowboy Whiskeys
Will report back with recipes when I hear from her!

 Thanksgiving turkey is easier to carve with an electric knife. It will save an argument about who is the stud duck, but it won't guarantee a happy thanksgiving meal if you're away from your loved one.



 by - jscheib (Wed Mar 8 2006 10:28:19 )    

 Brokeback Mount Gay Rum and Coke (Mount Gay Rum is a real brand!) Sounds like an answer for "Before and After" on Jeopardy! 8^D Jeff

 Try not to ridicule a guy with an electric carving knife, even though you wouldn't be caught dead with one.

 Baked beans taste best when heated over a campfire and consumed directly from the can.

 - Never let a turkey carve the turkey. -

 Always feed young children a bowl of goop incase the turkey has not been cooked long enough. Their little stomachs cope less with all the throwing up. -

Empty beer bottles always give that uncluttered surface a touch of character. -

When in Mexico, eat Mexican.

 >> "We could not talk or talk forever." yaadpie, what is your sigline from? It feels like it's ringin a bell. Is it the rich big lipped woman in Best of Show, talkin about her husband?



 by - yaadpyar (Thu Mar 9 2006 06:27:37 )     

 Ellle - you're good! It is from the scene in "Best in Show" where the voluptuous blonde is talking about how great her relationship with her wheel-chair bound, ancient husband is:  Sherri Ann Cabot: Leslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.  As she's saying this, they show him in his wheelchair, essentially unresponsive, and looking about 150 years old, and she's having a hard time coming up with anything to say. I love this scene and movie, and thought I'd put some levity in my on-line life with a different signature. Thanks for asking, ma'am. "We could not talk or talk forever."

 Hi Lucise!!!!!         
 Welcome, welcome, welcome. Was wondering if you'd come. Pull up a chair. Sit and visit with us a spell. Want some coffee, don't ya? Piece a cherry cake? Think you'll really enjoy the company over here - lots of good folks, including you now! Oh - and nice rhyming, by the way. It's hard to do with food.



 by - lucise (Thu Mar 9 2006 12:42:44 )    

 Cheers yaadpyar!! I am here!! Thanks!! Of course I was going to join you all here! A troll-free BBM site is such a wonderfully refreshing idea, it is irresistible! I am glad to be here!!

 Just because you say you are good with a can opener doesn't mean you actually are good with one.

 --Whiskey is preferable to water when you've come upon a bear. -

-Coyotes with big balls may be able to eat camels.

--After your long commute, when you get home, always test the coffee pot with the back of your hand and look under the lid before consuming (and bitch as much as possible while doing the above).

--When drinking with a friend, it's nice to serve your buddy their whiskey in a metal cup so you can keep drinking from the bottle.

 

 by - Chanterais (Thu Mar 9 2006 13:07:03 )    

 You don't eat with your eyes.

 Beer makes a very good breakfast.

Screw-top white wine is classy.
Spitting into your coffee cup is not classy.

 A coyote may have balls the size of apples, but they are not apples. They make very bad pie.

And that line about "When in Mexico, eat Mexican" is my single favourite post of the last week. Sheer brilliance.

    

 by - ray-390 (Thu Mar 9 2006 13:13:50 )    

 Always follow accusations of Rodeo Cowboys being all F kk ups with a loud slurp from your tin cup. This will garentee a raucous clown dance and YeeHaw from your drinking buddy.

 If you're a poor shot with a rifle, be prepared to stick with beans.

 It might be bad luck to start humming "The Streets of Laredo" when you're on your way home from getting the weekly groceries.

 Pie is a poor substitute for true love.

 Very sad cowboys eat apple pie.

 Hey Jenny - what's this about?  It might be bad luck to start humming "The Streets of Laredo" when you're on your way home from getting the weekly groceries.



 by - TheStudDuck (Thu Mar 9 2006 13:49:11 )    

 I think that is the song he is humming right before he comes upon the bear.   



 by - newyearsday (Thu Mar 9 2006 13:51:52 )       

 Yeah, David's right. Or so they say...I don't know the song well and can only hear a few notes. Something to look/listen for next time!

 - When you're pitching a pup tent on the QT, groceries come once a week via a Basque shepherd. -

On you're way back from getting your groceries from a Basque shepherd, don't let the horses get spooked by a bear, or it's nothing but beans 'till next week. -

 If you don't get all the groceries on your list, indicate your displeasure by mumbling slightly and handing over next week's list. That'll show 'em!

     

 by - lnicoll (Sat Mar 11 2006 05:20:31 )       

 7-Up is the preferred beverage on July 4th; white wine at Thanksgiving (and to celebrate engagements); whiskey while camping; and beer any other time.

 by - EnnisLovesJack (Mon Mar 13 2006 12:05:35 )    

 Apple pie will make girls cry.

Beans make good courtin' food.

 Elk is a delicacy best consumed on the QT with a soon-to-be lover.

Peeling spuds may or may not ease sexual frustration.

 Pies are reserved for moments of serious reflection and soul searching; cakes are for times of mourning, when they are offered but not consumed.

Coffee is appropriate for mourning as well as for wedding announcements.

 Coffee pots are good for traveling around, and percussion.



 by - amy7769 (Mon Mar 13 2006 12:10:40 )    

 If your husband is expecting a visit from his long-lost "fishing buddy" that you never heard about before in your life, make sure you get that babysitter and make dinner reservations FOR THREE PEOPLE at the "Knife and Fork" restaurant well in advance, so as to thwart any attempt on the part of your husband to "go off drinkin' and get to talkin" with said fishing buddy.

 by - RingerFanatic (Mon Mar 13 2006 19:41:53 )       

 I tried to locate those threads by looking in my response outbox, but it's not there. I saw those threads in the main BBM board. It's pretty old, so you'd have to go through a whole bunch of messages to get it them. The "Giving up your Life" thread was pretty goofy. Everyone basically responded with "Um..no". LOL. The Elk thread was pretty interesting though. A couple people made funny comments about how elk meat is good for decorating ideas. But then some posters went waaaay into the symbolism of the elk meat and how the raw meat hanging out in the wind was like their love...or something funny like that. It just made me laugh.

 Ray - these are so fantastic!! Perpahs you'd just start a new thread with a link to this. It's too funny. You're so talented, and of course, I love the subject matter.    And, by the way, you look very cute in your picture.

...as YaadPyar reads, Barbara Striesand's song "The Way We Were" begins to swell in the background, reminding her of the heady intoxication and innocence of our PT days at IMDb, when we thought the world was ours forever.


Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were Lyrics

Memories,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...

The way we were...
The way we were...
"Vice, Virtue. It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much life. Aim above morality. If you apply that to life, then you're bound to live life fully." (Harold & Maude - 1971)
