The nursing school students used to make that joke a lot (I forget what the other bug was that was the followup).

We used to get it here in Seattle - since is it was an import, I drank it before all the microbreweries started to make in-roads into the American beer world (early 70s).

When I was growing up (after I left home) I could go to almost any restaurant and ask for their gizzards - they would give me bags of it for free b/c it had not become a thing yet.

I used to cook beef heart in the 70s; usually roasted - sometimes dry-roasted other times, slow-cooked in liquid.

I am a chicken heart/gizzard fan - my ex liked chicken liver, she mixed it with her rice for ‘dirty rice’.

I noticed the reference to mutton and my mouth began to water. I remember as late as the mid-70s I was still able to get mutton at Seattle’s Public Market. But if you do not know how to prepare it, mutton is NASTY (it’s the fat - coats your mouth like sandpaper).

And vice versa.

New Mexico and other SW states have bubonic deaths every couple years.

This is where I always depart from libertarians - they seem to wave a magic wand at food safety.

Rats have no bladder control; if a rat was there is pissed there. Uric acid fluoresces under black light so you can see where they have been.

A quick side note - years ago a local artist crocheted a coffee cup using butcher paper (her arms were the crochet tools). This was so long ago that Starbucks was not a thing. I used to walk past the store-front that displayed the cup and just stare in awe at a 4 ‘ diameter coffee cup in paper.

I was taught that the rear corner of the front car should be mid-rear passenger door when I start.

But for the other sex there is “red-headed step-child” - fertility clinics in the US have, mostly, stopped accepting donations from male gingers b/c there does not seem to be a demand for their seed. I say this not as a red-head but as a former ‘ginger chaser’ - I have always adored red-heads (and still do) but since…

I used to order scotch neat with a coke back - we were both poor and she had the coke b/c she didn’t want to drink.

I am an old, have been watching SNL since Thanksgiving 1975 and think Jost is mid-range on WU and upper 3rd as head writer.

I just hope no one confuses one Grumpy with another.

I start the explanation with siblings are zeroth cousins and share a parent.

Remember when he was so popular that the Repugs wanted to change the constitution to allow him to run for president? Crap, no one seems to but that was before Obama which changed their tune pretty damned quickly.

Has Celestial Seasonings stopped including those crazy Urantian quotes on their packages? Used to drive me crazy.
