The food didn't just land on your plate you moron. Someone worked for
it. Jesus has been dead for 2000 years. I thank myself or my host.

Lord, My soul is ripped with riot
incited by my wicked diet.
"We Are What We Eat," said a wise old man!
and, Lord, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that's plain!
But at my present weight, I'll need a crane.
So grant me strength, that I may not fall
into the clutches of cholesterol.

May my flesh with carrot-curls be sated,
that my soul may be polyunsaturated
And show me the light, that I may bear witness
to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.

And at oleomargarine I'll never mutter,
for the road to Hell is spread with butter.
And cream is cursed; and cake is awful;
and Satan is hiding in every waffle.

Mephistopheles lurks in provolone;
the Devil is in each slice of baloney,
Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,
and Lucifer is a lollipop.

Give me this day my daily slice
but, cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees,
deliver me from jujubees.

And when my days of trial are done,
and my war with malted milk is won,
Let me stand with the Saints in Heaven
In a shining robe--size 37.

I can do it Lord, If You'll show to me,
the virtues of lettuce and celery.
If You'll teach me the evil of mayonnaise,
of pasta a la Milannaise
potatoes a la Lyonnaise
and crisp-fried chicken from the South.

Lord, if you love me, shut my mouth.

I don't know yet, I'm still comparing offers.
Since I live in a country where it's ****ing cold in winter,
the central-heating in hell holds a certain appeal.
Then there's Lucretia Borgia there, who is said to be quite
a handful in bed.
Decisions, decisions ...

And before you touch the food, drink two pints of the local Best
Bitter. Or of your particular beverage - whatever that is.

One should NEVER eat on an empty stomach!

Some hae meat and cannae eat,

But we hae meat
And we can eat
And sae the Lord be thankit!

My college usually asked the Chaplain if he was present to say Grace and
the most usual was the very short "Benedictus Benedictum", which hardly
offends many.

Yep, that's what I love about all those "good Christians" - they're
frequently judgemental, rude and always have to impose their beliefs on
everyone else. They're the same folks who rail against things like drinking
and (Baptists, at least) dancing (OMG! Dancing might lead to fornication!!).
They're also the first to break their own rules when it's not Sunday.

"Perhaps" is right; my understanding is that there are versions of the
Grace going back a bit further than Burns, so it makes sense that there
are different lines.

I'll bet yours is a better version on a basis of rhyme. I did say

Yeah, I noted your "perhaps". Mr Burns was, like all other poets, not
working in a vacuum, and attributions can be funny things.

This is true, but it seems [any] religious proselytizers tend to try to make
converts. It's akin to them knocking on your front door, invading your
privacy and space. At least (most) folks on rfc don't crosspost to other
ngs and demand everyone parboil ribs! LOL

I think Jill has a guilty conscience in that respect. After all, how many
times has someone posted something like this:


"Does anybody have a recipe for ______?"

and had Jill respond with:

"Not me! I think _____ is disgusting!"


She has done that dozens if not hundreds of times, and what's the point?
Just to waste bandwidth? If the OP is asking for a recipe, in what way has
Jill contributed to the discussion?

I'm not a Jill-hater like so many others here, but she definitely sends
pointless and judgmental posts. Of course, she's not the only one: I
remember a recent discussion about wine recommendations to accompany
crab cakes and coconut rice; the conversation was pre-empted by one poster
who kept saying that the suggested wines would be inappropriate (too sweet)
because they didn't meet HER tastes -- even though she was not the original
poster and her tastes were not the ones which needed to be met.

Yeah, that was me, asswipe. How am I supposed to know the "tastes" of the
OP? The OP obviously did not know his "tastes" or he would not have posted
the question. I did grtow up in Maryland, and have eaten much blue crab. And
it was blue crab the OP was using.

What happened was, others posted immediately that they thought a sweet
German wine, such as Alsace or Gewurtztraminer would be very nice. The
thought turns my stomach, still.

Sure, it's a matter of personal taste. Mine did not differ from that of the
OP, who had no opinion or would not have posted the question, right? Mine
differed from that of the dickweeds who thought sweet wine complements crab.

Maybe you meant to say that MY personal tastes differed from that of many of
your widdle fwends, even those who said that "such and such an expert always
said that sweet wine is best with crab."

You need a nice superhero suit with SSM on the front.

Supercilious Sanctimonious Man.

I'd like citations, please. I may think something is disgusting but I
rarely reply to "anyone have a recipe for...." posts if I don't have one or
a site where someone can get one. I may reply to posts suggesting what I
think are weird food combinations as saying they sound disgusting together.
But otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

I contribute by posting recipes in answer to the question. Or links to
recipes. Or opinions when others are also offering theirs... It's a
discussion. If people here want a moderated web "forum" they should skip
Usenet and join some Yahoo or Google Groups

And that wasn't ME. I don't often recommend wines because I don't pretend
to be a wine maven. Having said that, crab tends to be sweet in and of
itself and would be better complimented by a slightly dry white

Growing up in Maryland and eating lots of blue crab does not automatically
confer any knowledge of wine, crab-louse. The question was about wine, and
your tastes are most decidedly NOT those of the general public. Why should
people assume that the OP's guests had tastes which were as off-kilter as
yours?

Yah-shure-what-the-****-ever. Nobody cares now. That's why I didn't mention
you specifically in what I wrote previously.

Did you THINK before you wrote that last sentence? How do you assume that if
someone expresses no opinion, then his or her opinion must agree with yours?
That's stupid. Do you also assume that undecided voters are all going to
vote for the same candidate you favor?

Let's just re-word that more appropriately: Your bizarre and alcohol-centric
tastes differed from those better-informed people who posted the opinions of
acknowledged wine experts, and for some inane reason you took that
personally.

Maybe you meant to say that you are a ****ing idiot who is unable to
recognize the validity of the opinions of others.

Thank you for openly applauding my superiority. You may go now.
