Cheese

[Sergeant Smokepole]

Smokepole, I'da obviously been better off followin' you around.  Where were ya when I needed ya.

I went there for 5 days of R&R with 3 months pay. It was all a blur but I musta had fun............ Took me 2 days to detox....... My eyes were yellow..... Besides, I figured that I'd be dead within a week after returning to Camp Carroll anyway.........

[St. George]

My first Tour - I went from 230 - 165.

I looked like a Blue-eyed xylophone...

Once in awhile, something returns and while not as "dramatic" - the sense of abject misery is very much alive.

Now if you wanna talk about R&R...


My GG Grandfather who rode with the 2d Iowa Volunteer Cavalry was in the Hospital at Paducah after Shiloh.
He'd lost so much weight from dysentery that they were certain he was going to die and my GGG Grandpa had to come down to take him home and nurse him back to health.
Must've worked wonders - after the War - he went through a couple of wives and had kids by them all.

Diarrhea was a tremendous killer of soldiers - in most of our wars, and everyone else's.
Bad food - bad water - mosquitoes and flies - poor hygiene - all combined to weaken men - some to their eventual death.

Scouts Out!

Wow!  Cheese and Diarrea, what a combination?   I've never learned so much about cheese, thanks Delmonico and St. George.

As for Diarrea, thats the real S#$@%! .  My service was over by the Vietnam War, but my hats off to you all who served and made it back.  As for the protesters they can have the Diarrea.

If any one is interested a historically correct remedy for diarrra is blackberry juice, blackberry wine or blackberry brandy.  This needs to be the real stuff not blackberry flavored wine or brandy.

This shows up in many sources but was passed on ta me be a real doctor and it does work. 

Nuf Said.

Ok just fer fun can one imagine the misery of this devistating malady with out modern bathrooms and toilet paper.  The ol' leaves, Sears Catalog and corn husks could cause quite an irritation.

How did we get from cheese to hershey's squirts? Who is the moderator of this room? 

Slim

I'll tie it together for you Slim.  I often get the sqirts from cheese.  I love it and eat much of it.  I really don't know when it will happen because sometimes it does, sometimes not.

I'll try your remedy of Blackberry juice next time, Delmonico and NO, I really don't want to think about diarrhea without the smooth terlit seat and soft paper.  Not only irritation, but after about thirty minutes, itchy too.

[Delmonico]

I sounds like a slight lactose intolerance, I think they have an OTC pill for that.  Some folks cheese does just the reverse and they need a TNT suppository.


I'm lucky cheese ain't no problem either way.  Corn on the cob, well never mind.  It is on my no no list.   But I would rater give up corn on the cob than cheese.

Here, here. (Being a cheesehead and all.)
Besides, when I eat corn on the cob I smell like rancid butter 'til I wash my beard.

[Delmonico]

I'd think you wouln't use rancid butter or else ya'd wash yer beard more often, takes a long time fer butter ta go rancid.

[El Peludo]

Hee-hee!

I go a wanderin' for a few days, and you'all get off on some real toots.  I can co-miserate with you about the backdoor trots; one of the things I've had that made me think I was going to expire, or at least made me feel like I wanted to.  I picked up some li'l bug on a week long trip down the Colorado River, and the Docs never did figure out what it was; I just got over it, after a few weeks.

Cheese----------; MMMM! Cheese!!!

SCS, the remark about the rancid butter made me laugh; I definitely know the feeling.  I've had some folks ask me just how I can wear a beard like I do, 'cause it just has to be a nasty thing, especially after they see me eat corn-on-the-cob, or bar-b-qued ribs.  And then I go wash up!

[Delmonico]

Hairy Man ya didn't drink the water did ya.  "Remember always drink upstream from the Yuppies."

[Silver Creek Slim]

BBQ ribs would be a real mess. BTW, my beard is about twice as long as it was in the picture.

Ya sure have a thing for the yuppies. 

Slim

[Delmonico]

I thought yuppies were put on the earth for us ta poke fun of.

One of my best friends in High School became one, ain't understood him much since bout 78.

Besides that both of my wives have worked in offices, they're be a lot of them at Christmas parties.

Besides that they eat margerine and soy cheese.   Make their bread in bread machines.  Gotta go, I think my bread upstairs needs my fingers in it.  Probbally crawling round the kitchen.

Actually, Delmonico, I "fer-sure" must'a swallowed some of that river; I was one of about six adults supervising about thirty Boy Scouts in canoes, and them kids was all over the place, and fallin' in the water, and turnin' their canoes over, and havin' a great time.  I though I'd picked up Gardiasis, but the Docs said no, that test came back negative, but then, so did every other test.  Who knows???  But, I did survive.  That was the second of two trips on the Colorado, that year, and I'm surprised that I did not catch something from the first one; or, then again, maybe I did.  Two trips of five days each, about two weeks apart; hmmm.  I spent as much time in the water, as I did on a boat, or ashore.     But, it was fun; 'cept fer the bug that I got.

I have thought about that, but like I said, the bad effects are irregular (no pun intended, but it worked out rather well, huh? ).  Besides... I am NOT going to give up cheese!  Luckily, corn doesn't do that to me.
