"Tall, " is a relative concept . If you're 5'8" dealing with a tribe of pigmyes , you're tall . If you're 5'8" , on a professional basketball team , you're short . If you're a head taller than the average , you're easier to find in a crowd . If you're laying down , it doesn't really matter .

@Bobby9 Language? Yes I believe I have heard of that and that may be the problem. I speak English and you speak American which not only spells things in a very strange manner but also is part of a rather strange mind set that imparts it's on regional definitions to the world in general. For example: Americans believe that they live in a free and open democracy with an economy based on free markets and capitalism BUT the rest of the world realized a long time ago that after WWII the American system became a Corporatocracy with Fascist overtones. If America is what you want to call a democracy then I can assure you that Canadians and the rest of the free world want nothing to do with it.

Surfpirate replies on Jul 12, 2018:
@Sheannutt I like my garlic fresh and it keeps for the better part of a year if cured and stored properly. If I were to store some in oil then I would put whole cloves in a mason jar with some hot peppers for that extra kick. If you crush garlic in a garlic press, perish the thought as I always use a French Chef's Knife and crush it fresh with the flat of the blade, then the active oils start to oxidize and much of the flavour is lost if you store it after that, even in the freezer. I like garlic a lot and use it in much of my cooking which is strongly Mediterranean influenced or South East Asian, both of which use a lot of garlic.

Those guys were hard working fishermen that dove the reef for fish and that's a hard life and I could see the hard edge in them but I treated them with respect and kindness and they returned it - not exactly a pirate rule but definitely a guideline which works for bikers and mobsters too.

A lot of mixed signals out there: Heinz ketchup takes a hit If you're looking for made-in-Canada...
Surfpirate comments on Jul 9, 2018:
I think I will stick with French's, I find it tastes the same as Heinz. I remember as a kid being on a family trip to Leamington, Ontario and seeing the flat bed trailers piled high with rotten tomatoes at the Heinz plant, I still eat ketchup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiGb31e5ydo
Surfpirate replies on Jul 10, 2018:
@RonWilliam53 This was back in the 70's and the tomatoes were definitely rotting, the smell was really ripe and you could see the juices that had pooled around the truck. Was this a rejected load, tomatoes that were being taken away because they were sub standard? I don't know but I do know exactly what I saw. Thanks for your input, even though you weren't there that day in Leamington in the early 70's.

@BettyColeman The question of this post is should we discriminate against dating people who are psychic/ new age types and my response was to point out that there are many reasons why an Atheist would be interested in dating a person, not just there delusions. I think it is naive to think that people date others based solely upon how they think. Physical appearance, shared interests, intelligence, charm, sense of humour, wealth, etc. are all factors in the dating game. That's why many people won't even respond to people without a pic on a dating site. As for FOFF, well I am still left wondering.

What's the best BBQ pit in Arizona? I'm trying to find some place good so that MissKathleen can have her first taste of real BBQ and I'm not having any luck in the Yuma area. Surely there has to be at least one decent BBQ shack in Arizona.

@MissKathleen Big Ribs Smokehouse might be a better option, also in Mexicali and only open on the weekends. La Ahumadera only opens for the dinner crowd and is a stall on wheels with a few picnic tables out front. Habla Espanol?

@MissKathleen Barbecue comes from the Spanish word Barbacoa and the Spaniards took the idea from the native peoples of Mexico so technically all Spanish BBQ is the real BBQ but yes it does taste a little different. A torta or a curillo would be closest and can usually be found on mexican food trucks, delicious and affordable.

@MissKathleen I looked for you and there is no decent BBQ in Yuma that I could find, just diners and grills that call themselves BBQ but they aren't the real deal. Phoenix seems to be the closest place to get real BBQ and I can't tell how good it is from the pics, looks good but it is really all about the taste. There is a place in Mexacali called La Ahumadora that looks good but it would be Mexican style.

Maybe if the Germans had more of these lucky pigs they might have won the war and we would all be goose stepping to some German guy instead of Trump, although Trump is a German American isn't he? Okay maybe it wouldn't have made any difference to the end result after all. Fly you lucky little pigs, fly!
