So, I was completely wrong!
Sorry about that, Comrade Terry, but sunfolk is the expert  I always thought port was the drink of choice for Stilton - now I'll have to make new demands on my wine/spirit dealer - I gave him ticks the other day asking for Braggot - his answer?  Lancaster? Red Rose Lancaster? Amish? Oh, Lancaster, Pennsylvania - I was in Erie, Pennsylvania this morning; I wasn't aware Pennsylvania had a coast line on Lake Erie  |

Oh, yes, Little Mermaid. I love cheese. Oh, what a friend we have in cheeses!
Returning from Vermont (a source of excellent cheese) last summer, I had quite a bit of cheese in my carry-on bag. To make a long story short, TSA gave my cheese a very careful examination. Apparently, when viewed on the X-Ray machine (or, whatever it is that your bags go through), cheese looks just like plastic explosives. It took a while, but I was able to board the plane with all of my precious cheese.  Stilton and Port works very well. I wonder what Stilton and Amontillado Sherry would be like. The Danes came to New Brunswick after a major crop failure right after the U.S. 'Civil War' - if memory serves, circa 1870. When I was much younger, I know that many of them still spoke Danish as their first language. I don't know what it's like now - that was nearly fifty years ago. There are some pretty good hills in that part of the world, and the ski jumps were made in the side of large hills. I remember when we first went there. There were two jumps - one was (I think) 120 meters, and the other was about 50 meters. I asked, "Where's the smaller jump?" and was told, "That is the smaller jump!" Gulp.... He (Erik Sorensen) was a nice man. I liked him. Milk Stout works, Sunfolk. I'm sitting here enjoying my  |

Oh, that was bad for those Danes - leaving their new home for an even newer one ...
Are you orginally Canadian, Comrade Terry? Did you ever try the long jump? he-he, plastic explosives ... well, yes. Do you call it cheese or marzipan? They should have used the sniffer dogs - they would probably have indicated something was fishy just because they wanted some ... Do you have beer with that stout? Can you get the Lancaster Milk Stout at your liquor store? I wonder if sunfolk would find it acceptable to douse very old cheese (1-2-3 years) in rum? |

Most times we do have some beer left in our glasses when
we get to the cheese after having worked aalllll the way through the Big Cold Table - as beer and akvavit in tandem are the traditional companions for that meal Heavenly bliss |

Hola, RoBerTo_ITaPoliS, amigo brasileiro
----------------------------------------- bom ver você aqui - graças para seus cumprimentos e desejos I also love Google Translate  Good Morning USMC! ski1939, your walking the perimeter will have revealed that the Base Camp camp has been expanded with the tents of yet a cruncher with the funny Campaign Cover - the feathered one Christopher Herr [TeaM] AND WCGland's loveliest, kindest and smartest cruncher - my Facebook sister: oliviathefirst, Livvy, Elaine  What your intelligence has not picked up yet, and has no means of doing, is that the mermaid is back from her AWOL UH-oh ...  Do you really want me to go into that little room with no windows? - and do double time because I played the "get-up-you-slackers" too early on Christmas Morning - and thrice time for it also being on a Sunday Mercy ... please, Captain  I promise, I'll not do it again  Pretty Woman - oh, they played that incessantly at the boat show in Beautiful Worcester, Massachusetts ... I still have a bit of an issue with that song ...  141 times in three days [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 25, 2011 10:21:08 AM] |

Did Christopher Herr and oliviathefirst not show up on your radar, ski1939?
Well, they must have arrived in their stealth means of transportation ... Elaine's Porsche convertible surely ducks under any rays - and Christopher Herr - well, did you take the Lamborghini, Sir? |
