Why not buy an orange?

Only if we can dry the orange and make it taste like a strawberry.

I'm a craisin addict too...they rock in homemade trail mix

[MissEve]

Mmmmm, my favorite salad is butter lettuce, apples, craisins, toasted walnuts, chives and blue cheese crumbles with Briannas Blush Wine Vinagrette.

I eat and love a similar salad, but use romaine lettuce and a homemade honey-dijon mustard vinagrette...

[SykkBoy]

come to think of it,I use craisins in a couple different recipes...

I love to wilt down fresh baby spinach in a little shallot oil, salt and pepper, then whisk together a dressing of craisins, basalmic vinegar, orange zest, a small squirt of lime juice and just a couple crushed red pepper flakes and drizzle the vinagrette over the warm spinach on a plate........in fact, I need to stop by the store and pick up some baby spinach tomorrow

Are they right next to the baby seals?

Thank you, Vick, for getting us back on track!

I don't believe this thread would be on a gay chief's board


Not that there is anything wrong with appreciating food or any sexual preferences or anything

Yeah, but Denis Leary would be slow in responding because he'd be busy combing through all of Bill Hicks' material looking for a good rant to "borrow"

[PornoDoggy]

Since I had never heard of this creation, I mentioned it to my girlfriend.

She tells me she likes them. She also suggested that someone who eats sardines should not criticize other people's taste in food.

Uppity friggin' women ...

You missed a true comedy genius who was taken waaaay before his time
I highly recomend the DVD "Bill Hicks: Satirist, Social Critic, Standup Comedian"

His comedy isn't for the easily offended, but underneath the obscenity is a ton of social criticism and he doesn't just have an issue nailing both the left and the right.

There is an old joke amongst comedians that goes: "Why is Denis Leary a famous successful comedian while Bill Hicks still unknown in the US? Because there's no cure for cancer" (Bill Hicks died of pancreatic cancer and Denis Leary's special that got him his notoriety was called "No Cure For Cancer")

you can grab the DVD from amazon.com at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s=dvd&n=507846

Netflix also has the DVD

[MorganGrayson]

Blockbuster.com has it, too, and I just kicked it up my list.

who are your favorite comedians? i never liked bill hicks much. i love comedy though. some of my favorites...

Dave Attell
Jim Gaffigan
Todd Barry
Mitch Fatell
Jake Johannesen
Dave Chappelle
Jim Florentine (his prank calls are funny anyway)
Lewis Black
Dave Cross


i could go on... and on.

[Newton]

Bill Hicks was excellent from what little exposure he received here in the UK .. thanks for the links SykkBoy, I didnt know there was a dvd ...

[PornoDoggy]

Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor & George Carlin are among my all time favorites, and Carlin owes a whole lot of his early stuff to things he liberated from Bruce, "Seven Dirty Words" chief among them.. If contemporary comedians are "ground-breaking", it can be measured in inches compared to the yards those guys broke up.

All time favorite is still Red Skelton, though.

some of my favorites are the givens like Hicks, Carlin and Pryor, but it's also hard to beat Eddie Murphy in the 80's
others:
Dane Cook
Jim Norton
Mitch Hedburg
Dave Attell
Jim Gaffigan
Larry The Cable Guy
Ron White
Lewis Black
John Stewart
Eddie Izzard
Robert Schimmel
David Cross
Bobcat Goldthwait (80's version)
Jay Mohr is kind of hit or miss with me...sometimes I find him really funny and other times I don't

I'm generally not a fan of female comedians except Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampinelli, Margaret Smith and Judy Tanuta

There are other comedians I find funny at times but tend to be hit or miss with me...

i like schimmel, jim norton and mitch hedberg a lot as well. i was really bummed when mitch died.

one of the main reasons i got XM radio was for the comedy channel.

Have to agree PD, carlin and pryor were certainly ahead of their time then. at least i think they were... I was just a little kid haha. i can remember listening to richard pryor in grade school. i dont know why i was so obsessed with comedy when i was little. i can remember being in the first grade and having steve martins albums memorized. i was always chanting the 7 words you could never say on TV

Moving boundaries. Breaking down borders...

Without a doubt a few Brits would feature. All the pythons , ( cept the yank , sorry he sucked and still does) , "Derek and Clive".....

no fucking Canadians though that I can think of..

[Newton]

Dave Allen was class too

The story of how he lost his finger was a classic ;-)))

I miss seeing him with his chair and glasses of whisky ... and may your god go with you .. a funny and astute guy ..

i think the crew from Kids in the Hall were definately ahead of their time. i think they are from Montreal? That was some pretty bizarre shit... very funny but funny in a "what the fuck was that all about" kind of way.

The Montey Python Crew was also breaking new ground as well. I was watching them the other day actually. is was The Flying Circus skit where the mafia guys are trying to extort money from the army "well uh,,, you got a lot of lot of nice tanks and stuff around here ya know, be a shame if some of em' got broken"

Hard to believe when i watch some of the Flying Circus stuff and laugh my ass off... that it was made before i was even born.
