Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

In the time of the French monarchy, non-monarchs created sauces to make otherwise marginal fare edible, I observe. French words for food that entered the modern English language are much more agreeable to the ear than German equivalents.

No idea what you're going on about with tonsils and ice cream. They gave me sherbet. And today ran all over the place for important but non-medical stuff. The root beer float made my day.

Make it A&W and French Vanilla and I'm in!

In the US, 640 calories in a large float (32oz), for comparison 540 calories in a Big Mac. Interesting to note that portions are different, usually smaller, in other countries.

Don't care. I'll take the float any day. No A&W's around here. No Krispy Kremes either.

I'll take a nice Kosher bakery over a Krispy Kreme in a heartbeat.

Sad. The Boomer generation is slipping into history.

We're lucky to have donuts and there's no root beer floats!

True.

Love a good Kosher bakery. Ain't sayin' I'd eat KK every day(or A&W, or McD, or any other fast food), but the nearest 24 hr KK is 130 miles from me. Not real convenient.

People in the old days came down with things ... ague, scrivener's palsy, chilbllains, variola, bad blood, fatty liver, lumbago ....

Consumption!

 

[LBS-bass]

Anyone know anything about this?

​

That's.... odd.

I don't go into that thread because I don't own a T-bird. Were they fighting?

 

[GonePlaid]

Consumption!

Even after looking that up some time ago, it still didn't make a lotta sense.

The only sense I can make of it is that tuberculosis consumes all your energy and, eventually, takes your life.

No. We'd gotten derailed for awhile-like this thread did before we were moved and.....that's all I'd better say at the risk of getting suspended...again. BTW, I have 2 'Birds, you should try one, they're fun.

Shoot. Having never been suspended, I'd better quit while I'm ahead.

Not to worry. I'm treading on much thinner ice than you are.

Looks to have been reckoned with.

I've learned what not to say.

We got several Kosher bakeries around here.
