Welcome one and all!


Drinks are on me at the sutlers!

[Eagle Eyes Jefferson]

Lt. Col. Steel Horse,

Why don't we just set up a recruitment table at the sutlers and then we don't have to keep gettin' up and walking over there cause we're already there?? Sure would save on shoe leather.!!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

What a capitol idea. 

If you bring a table, I'll bring a couple comfortable chairs - and some - aaahh ... adult beverages, so we don't have to have our glasses refilled at the counter so often. 

[Eagle Eyes Jefferson]

Yessiree, I love it when a plan comes together!!!!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

OK!

Now - who'll bring the pretzels now and samwiches for later?

[Zouave Officer]

I've got the pretzels covered, do I need to bring some really big pretezels for the Peanut gallery?

Perhaps some erdnuss ...
for the Peanut Gallery.



















Erdnuss means "earth nut" ... peanut in Ger-mer-man.

[Delmonico]

OK!

Now - who'll bring the pretzels now and samwiches for later?

I'll bake some bread if someone will bring some meat and cheese, oh Silver Creek Slim will get the cheese, he knows good cheese.
Ya want wheat, white or rye or all three?

[Zouave Officer]

I'll take Wheat Bread, also whose got the Boiled Peanuts for us Southern Boys?

[Eagle Eyes Jefferson]

I got that. There's a place just about 2-3 miles from my house that sells boiled peanuts. No foolin'!! If you want some let me know and I'll try to send some to ya.

Eagle Eyes Jefferson

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Well - it sounds like a good thing here!

Glen - all 3 breads, please - but bring an extra Rye fer me, please

Zouave buddy, go back and read the fine print of my post after you asked about the Peanut Gallery.    You mighta missed it the 1st time.  Now explain this, please:  what's different about "boiled peanuts"  that makes you Southern Gents favor them?  I'm not from the South (** see below), but I ain't never met a peanut I didn't like.  I had some Peanut Soup in Williamsburg, VA that 'bout knocked my socks off, it was SO good!  'Course - the salt-cured ham with red-eye juice that was the main course was simply heavenly! 

** I DO have my office here (where the confuser is) on the South side of my room, 'tho.   Does that count? 

[Cowtown Scout]

WOW !!!  This is a wonderful milestone.  I was the first member to join this year on News Year Day and my number is 510.  The last number listed here is 603.  That's 93 members this year in less that 3 months.  AWESOME  !!!!!!

This means someone has some more work to do.  The master list of members on the Web site stops at 429 and the site is only set up to list 499.  The master list that US Scout has on this forum stops at 512.

Eagle - Thank's for the offer on the Boiled Peanuts, but were good to go here down in Good Ole' South Carolina, got a store about 5 miles down the road that sells them out front, ha ha. God I love the South, ha ha.

Steel - I saw the fine print on the Original Post, but figured your regular Yankee Peanuts were one thing, while us Southern Boys might prefer something alittle different, and to take alittle pride in it, better, ha ha.  Not sure how to describe boiled peanuts other than to say there just good, not everyone likes them but, take it or leave it, can't beat them in my book. Not sure the Southern part of the Office Counts yet, although if the Southern Half Declares war on the Northern maybe we can talk, which sides the Gun Cabinet on? 


*Note: Anyone else see the Irony in the Southern Statements while my default picture is me in a Federal officers Uniform? Ha Ha.

It's ALL good!    The gun cabinet is at the extreme Southern end of the house! 


By the way, I prefer Planters lightly salted.  Ain't that a good Southern Company?  The name Carter rings a bell, somehow - when I think of Peanuts.

Where do "goober peas" fit into this discussion?

Col Bull

[Steel Horse Bailey]

I don't know.  Have you ever had 'em?


I hear them Southern Boys liked 'em a lot - but maybe boiled p-nuts better. 

I have an old record about the (un) Civil War that is narrated by Ralph Bellamy and has some CW songs from both sides.  Eatin' Goober Peas"  is one of the songs I remember!


Uhhh - ain't Goober Peas peanuts?

[Bull Schmitt]

Never had a chance to eat them, but I remember singing Eatin' Goober Peas :

"Peas, Peas, Peas, Peas, Goodness how delicious eatin' goober peas............"


Col Bull

[Zouave Officer]

Can't forget the greatest line of that song though my friends.

"Just before the Battle the General hears a Row, He says the Yank's are coming I hear their rifles now,
He turn's and around and wonders, and what do you think he see's? The GEORGIA MILITIA, Eatin' Goober Peas."

And yes Colonel Bull, I do believe we have gotten alittle off topic, ha ha. 

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Maybe it's NOT off topic.  Yet.

Perhaps our next member will be known as Goober Peas, the peanut King.



Or not.

Goodness how delicious ... eating ... and so on.


Dang - NOW I'm hungry for a PB & J Sammich!  (Strawberry Jam, of course.  My favorite.)  And a BIG glass of ice-cold milk!
