VA-Sawyer · March 04, 2004, 08:54:41 AM

I looked back a ways and didn't see one. I think we should start one to make it easier for new members to understand us.
Here are a few samples. Perhaps Jeff could make it a Sticky Topic so it is easier for new readers to find. ;D

Jeff : General Operations Director. Whatever you do, Don't do anything that might make him mad.

Food : A substance common to most threads. What binds the Forum together.

Sawmill : An excuse to go play in the woodpile.

Sawdust : A most addictive substance. Can lead to becoming a Sawyer...

   Grits- don't leave home without em.
   Cheese- goes with grits.
   Eggs- goes with grits.
   Ham- goes with grits. lw

Tom · March 04, 2004, 03:26:13 PM

Grits are good boiled
Grits are good fried
Fish'n-Grits are wonderful.

Mark M · March 04, 2004, 03:29:56 PM

Riiiiiight - what's a grit?

Sumpin you put on sandpaper? ;)

DR Buck · March 04, 2004, 03:35:22 PM

Grew up north of the Mason Dixon Line. I don't do grits.

Now scrapple really goes good with eggs..... 8)

Tom · March 04, 2004, 03:42:38 PM

Ya don't know what yer missin'. It's the staple of the south. Once upon a time, before the demographics of the South lost their Southern heritage, you could order Breakfast with hash-browns and still get Hominy Grits on the plate. Grits just came with everything. They were used to fill up that little niche in the corner of your stomach that the heavier foods couldn't reach.

Now, it seems that the further south you go, the further north you get. Why, even the ever-present bottle of Cane Syrup is gone from the dinner table ... ..and... ......the waitresses have the audacity to ask if you want "Sweet Tea". Is there any other kind? :D

Tagerts_crossing · March 04, 2004, 03:48:57 PM

Just make sure the lumps are in the tea and not your grits. ;D

isawlogs · March 04, 2004, 05:11:31 PM

I don't know where the Mason Dixon line would be , surely south of me cause I don't even know what grits are ???, but maple syrup freshly boiled is good with my eggs.... ;)

DanG · March 04, 2004, 05:46:10 PM

SEE? See there, Tom!? I tole ya he weren't the same Marcel! If'n he'd been a Ledbetter, this talk of grits and cane syrup woulda got him slobberin' an huntin' a CATHEAD biscuit! Ain't no way a Ledbetter could mention aigs and maple syrup at the same time, with a straight face. ;D

Tom · March 04, 2004, 05:48:35 PM

Ashamedly you're right again, DanG. What is Maple serup anyway?

L. Wakefield · March 04, 2004, 06:04:03 PM

Hey, y'all let that mention of scrapple drop by the wayside. Making me hungry for that good taste. It's been too many years since I raised piglets. Still holding out for the right housing though. I won't do it up against the garage. Chickens are bad enough there. Hawgs would be a ruination. lw

DanG · March 04, 2004, 06:05:56 PM

It's tree sap, Tom. Them folks are boilin' tree sap, and then puttin' it on their aigs!
