What did you learn today?

[shadowtippy]

I learnt that crocodile's on tonight's menu - puts a slightly unnerving slant on the phrase, 'steppin' out for a bite'.

I've never had crocodile. I would guess it would be a lot like alligator, which is very good.

What does alligator taste like? How do you prepare an alligator steak?

Today I learned that singer Jerry LaCroix, who was on the great live album by Edgar Winter & White Trash, Roadwork, passed away a few years ago. I somehow missed that at the time.

RIP
I guess he didn't have news for you.

Alligator tastes somewhere between chicken and turtle. I have had it breaded and fried and also in sauce piquant (sp). Only the tail meat is eaten, which reminds me very little of the old joke:
Have you ever had alligator tail?

I never could figure out how to hold one down long enough.
I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

I've learnt that I lost a great deal of money today. Well, not cash money exactly, but my retirement portfolio took a beating.

NYT magazine crossword puzzle from last Sunday? (I don't know, it comes in the weekly suburban newspaper

Clue for 44 down, 5 letters - "Directed the rowers"
Answer for 44 down - "Coxed"

What I learnt - the existence of this word.

"Kevin coxed the rowers!"

Tee-hee-hee. I'm so infantile.

Estoy aprendiendo Espanol, slowly. Working on a couple phrases here and there.

I learned that all that glitters is not gold. But I already knew that before I learned that today. So one cancels the other out and I'm back to square one.

I learned that I shouldn't have read that post.

Today I learned that even at low speeds, cars are capable of a rollover. There was a nasty rollover in the slowest class at the racetrack tonight. They run sub 40mph.

I learned that my daughter & grand daughter landed safely in Sydney!
We'll hold them again in November!

I learned that there is actually a mom in my world who will sit and stuff her face, while her 2 year old sits beside her with her mouth open like a baby bird as each spoonful heads toward that wench's cavernous pie hole. She did it 4 times before my glare of incredulity shamed her into feeding her own precious baby girl.
3 hours later I'm so pissed off that I can't get that moment out of my head...I can't sleep...

"glare of incredulity"... You're obviously a learned man. I think I recall you're an educator. Good on you. My wife and both her parents were also.

So I'll bet you have the chops to fix this.

Sorry you can't sleep.


The brain-wrinkle I've acquired recently is that my voice is still high enough that I sing baritone better with girls than with guys.
