    The bridge in the background is what I walked across every day... Like an undocumented worker.

    **** it I really don't care anymore. It at least has the virtue of showing your true colors.
    'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity.

    It could have been worse. You might have had to wade and swim your way across the canal.

    And if he had to do that, his back would get wet.
    And when your back is wet, we delete a post!

    I said something something about Hex having a back that was wet. You know the term that refers to Hispanics that cross the Rio Grande while entering the US illegally...
    Comic got his panties twisted and asked for my post to be deleted.
    I now know why he isn't a big name comedian. I'm guessing knock knock jokes don't get you very far in that biz.

    So, the hot new food trend in London is Mexican. Everybody wanted to go out on Friday for lunch for burritos.
    Now, why the %$#@ would I want Mexican food in a place with no Mexicans?

    It's too far to swim and many drown while trying to cross the Atlantic in the trunk of the car.
    Last time I was in London (12 years ago) there was no Mexican food to be found. Plenty of Indian food, so I got my spice fix.

    My first night I did curry.
    Second night was shepherd's pie and third night was fish and chips (which wasn't that good).
    Eggplant ravioli and salmon tagliatelle in Milan. Viener schnitzel in both Frankfurt and Vienna.

    This annual trip is hell (4 cities, 5 days) in which I'm taking sleeping pills at night offset by endless cups of coffee during the day, but I do eat well.

    Who do you think is cooking at Cracker Barrel?

    References to "crackers" is highly offensive to an Anglo like myself!

    How was that? Do my panties seem twisted enough?
    Knock knock...

    So wait a barrel full of crackers is offensive? How so?

    No but you do seem bigoted enough.

    I wonder if you posted what you posted on facebook with everyone seeing your name associated with it, how long you would be allowed to teach children.

    hi comic!

    Obviously you missed the "First Lady" thread.:)

    Perhaps you also confuse Tex-Mex and Americanized "Mexican" food with good Mexican cooking. Taco Bell doesn't serve stuff like oxtails braised in red wine and unsweetened chocolate served with a real Caesar salad and a good red from Baja.
