The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is Tiggers are Clemson cats.
Their orange tops are trimmed with purple,
And they all swing their bats.

Visa or MasterCard?

Woodman,

I was thinking about you and playbaseball the other day and son. Have not seen you around much.

Hope all is well!

Well I have been on a modest diet...perhaps that is why you haven't seen as much of me as in the past? I've got a considerable amount left to lose, so if I become harder and harder to detect then you'll know I'm having continued success!

All is reasonably well...thanks for asking.

There is a better way...

You can buy a usb data cable from ebay for most phones for around $10.00.

Then with bitpim and mp3 cutter joiner you can make your own ringtones, wallpaper, and back up your phone, for free!

Look around at howardforums.com to see if this is something you want to try, and is availible for your phone.

When my "Smoke on the Water" ringtone interupted a very serious meeting and I couldn't locate the ignore button I learned the value of vibrate mode which is where it now stays.

02^04Mom:

Will all of that stuff work for onion rings? There may very well be a better way after all!

I think I've got most of what is needed, but some of that cool sounding gear may rev up my otherwise high-powered recipe for award winning onion rings. Won't you please let me know if I've left anything out. Thanks.



Gotwood's Most Excellent Onion Ring Recipe

From my palatial and professionally appointed cooking arena...aka: my modest kitchen...I would like to share with you my recipe for mouth-watering, scrumptious, and down right devilishly good onion rings.

They were a smash at the 1986 Tri-County Amateur Cook-Off and Car Repair Extravaganza!

They received an Honorarable Mention of sorts...I think the judges felt a little sorry for me after the entire heaping platter of greasy brown rings slid unceremoniously...no, no...make that ceremoniously, into an aquarium full of flashy exotic fish that was sitting placidly in the bed of a beautiful, fully restored, sea foam green, '72 Chevy El Camino. It was parked near my cooking station unfortunately. If I recall correctly, the once calm gentleman who owned the fish and the car received an award along with some hastily gathered sedatives.

One of my cohorts north of the border would have been proud of this creative mixture of things that spawned such a muck and a mess. Yes...I wish slobintoronto could have seen this. It would have brought a wide Toronto smile to his face, reaching from Mississauga to Pickering.

I didn't stay around for the awards ceremony, but I read later in the Community Happenings column that there had been some type of commotion bordering on a disturbance at the Extravaganza! In order to restore order it was decided that all contestants on both sides of the aisle would receive awards and ribbons. The best part was the fact that "you need not be present to win an award".

Enough history...let's get started on those rings!

First, heat the fat (this doesn't mean merely laying yourself under an electric blanket set at 10, or for you Spinal Tap fans, 11). Use a deep, cast iron, skillet or deep fat fryer. When it's apparent that the temperature of the oil, if mis-handled, would prove deadly then this is probably the right temperature. And remember...Do not use the microwave to dry clothes.

Next slice the onions (Walla Walla for you West Coast and inter-mountain folks and Vidalia for the rest of us) because the rest only takes a minute...or perhaps a wee longer if you're the really, really sensitive type and just the sight of a knife cutting through anything brings tears to your eyes. That mp3 cutter joiner may well indeed be your best bet for this eye-watering task. Set the sliced onions aside...and while you're at it please remove any exotic or even domestic fish from your household. Perhaps your neighbor would enjoy them for the day?

BATTER INGREDIENTS:

* 3/4 cups flour, sifted, dated, and cabled.
* 1/4 cup cornstarch, USB Grade No.1 Fine.
* 1/4 tsp baking soda, USB Grade "Extra Virgin".
* 1/ 1/2 tsp baking powder, USB Grade Explosive.
* 1 cup water, purified, source: eBay, Houghton, MI
* 1 egg, Howard's Farm brand, USDA Grade Jumbo.

PREPARATION:

This will require your undivided attention, so as a precaution, place your phone in an inaccessible spot for the time being. Trust me, you'll be tempted to answer it...especially when you hear those cool sounding ring tones that are all the rage now. Don't answer it!

Sift first four ingredients together and mix well. No smoking permitted at this point.

Beat egg (or if it will put you at ease, you may merely scold it), add water and mix, then stir into the dry ingredients using your multi-pronged BitPim stainless-steel whisk. Continue until batter thickens or loses his nerve.

Dip rounds of onion in batter and quickly drop into hot fat. Be especially careful to avoid spattering yourself, the electric blanket, or the wallpaper.

Remove the onion rings just as they begin to brown or at the first shrieking of your smoke alarm.

Enjoy.


Oh...by the way...after devouring the onion rings and washing your hands don't forget to put your phone back up on your counter.

I tried to download a song from a website, it never worked and a month later I get three seperate charges for three subscriptions for 9.99 each all from the same company using different names

I'm guessing it was a site offering FREE (or nearly free) ringtones -
I explored several, but I'm one of those odd guys that reads thru the "agreement" before checking the "accept terms" box (esp on free things, because why would an agreement even be necessary) & found similar subscriptions burried in the fine print - - I realized I couldn't afford free.
