I'm enjoying the show now on video.

(I used to have to go to bed when the theme music started . . . )

that's so weird. I was just thinking of that episode yesterday...how everyone laughed except mary; and when the funereal started, she couldn't stop laughing...how funny that show really was. I loved Mary. I wanted to be her and have her apartment.

Geez, what is with that guy's Dorothy Hamill hair cut. Most in need of a mullet. EVAH!

I couldn't decide where to put this. Then I thought "well, if I saw this late at night I would definitely be thinking WTF?!".

"I'm not dead yet . . ."

Aren't they playing pool? Besides 'rolling dem bones'.

mmmmm, Lamb!
 

Yummy! Looks like inner Mongolia, China. Best lamb I've ever eaten!

Here's one of my pics from Hohhot, the capital:

Yup
 

Yeah, there are outdoor pool tables all over China. They're so cheap I was tempted to get one for a combo dining table/pool table (That was before I was married - I know better than to try that now), until I tried playing on it. The felt is like short fur - the balls barely roll at all.

Thanks, Mayor. Very interesting. But what will they do with the wagon load of bones? Seems to me raw meat and bones would start to spoil very quickly. Not to mention the insect infestation.

Insects add protein to the spare ribs. ;)

hmmm... Well I reckon one can never have enough protein.

As far as I know, they mostly sell them for stew. Mongolian lamb stew is superb! (I'm just eating fruit for breakfast, and now my mouth is watering for lamb!)

P.S. As far as spoilage & insects - most meat in china is sold from non-refrigerated booths. Often there are big markets with tons of tables set up, one area with meat, another with veggies, another with fruit, another with fish (fish usually get ice). We refer to them as "Markets of Death".

I think I'll pass.
