There are many regional American cuisines.

I think you'll be able to appreciate this, Classic

Harold Stephens attempts to discover true American cuisine.

Progressive liberal, of course.

Actually, my favorite oxymoron is the one which aptly gores whichever blockhead I'm chewing out.

I have more compassion for poor Spexxvet than he'd ever imagine. This doesn't stop me from figuring his stereotyped ideology and viewpoint is by degrees reducing him to a clueless imbecile, but I sorrow for his self-chosen state. From time to time I mention things that would improve him were he to accept them -- they come under the heading of him needing to be broader minded, and to stop looking for evil in all the wrong places. That's as fruitless as looking for love that way. Of course, I congratulate me for having chosen a better course.:cool:

"Of course"

It is the central aspect of your charm.

[UG dimples prettily] (if anyone can tell under the beard)

It's a simple process, and one often repeated here. Been that way for years.

1) Someone spouts an unthought-out or imbecilic remark
2) I torment him for entertaining so low quality a thought or such a paucity of valuable values
3) He tries to tell me I can't think, which is a heck of a note from some guy who was thinking so awfully in the first place
4) It dawns on him that he has now become even less impressive and more pitiable and clueless than earlier
5) I practically never refrain from helping him to this uncomfortable realization and I often tell him it is "liberal" ideology that has sunk him up to his neck
6) He finds he can't lay a glove on me because he does not know what he is at
7) Wrath, sputtering, and face-saving blather on his part may ensue

I must say UG - That was one of your more readable posts.

Australian foreplay :)

A widely told joke has the Australian stacking the furniture to get enough floor space.

Gravdigr 12-06-2010 02:43 AM

"Sickly sweet" always struck me as oxymoronic.
