Never mind. I'd thought better of it and deleted my comment. And its all djturnz' fault.

I wonder if Michael Jackson blew Bubbles?

lekolight re:9561 You're correct on saying they were "practicing fools on Saturday!" I was there all morning and afternoon while they were going through the show. There was disappointment and joy when the awards were given out on Sunday, but they were also PROUD! One of the band members said that next year the first place award was OURS!!! I hope they are right. It has been a long time since they got first place.
They will be playing the show at Delone on Friday. If anyone didn't see the show this past Friday night ot the game, I hope you can come to the game and watch the band preform the show one more time.

When you are in competitions like the Hershey one, you are seeing some really tight bands who seem to always be in step and have their sound balanced throughout the sections. The judges respond with a different level of perfection expectation than local cavalcades. I know Littlestown was working hard and did well. They were practicing fools on Saturday. They have a great deal to be proud of. Of the few players I have met recently, they exude a feeling of pride and fire of being the best in the region.

Congrats!!

Mar: Thanks for the picture of the barn raising in Cumberland, Md for Mr. Helmsteter. I had a chance to go out and help with putting on the first deck but the Mrs had other ideas. She didn't want to drive that far to see me put in a few nails.

Also, the Blue Band got 7th place in Hershey on Sunday! They really played well, and I think it was there BEST performance EVER but, I guess the judges saw otherwise. 90.1 was the score!

While the weather is so nice the Borough crew got the Christmas tree and other decorations up today.

Besides, I don't think flavor is a big deal for him, he sucks on his toes.

If we never had chicken, I guess you'd say it tastes like Alligator.

On a similar note, when my my 1yr old child gets sick, they always give him "Bubblegum" flavored medicine. He is 1 year old, how the heck does he know what bubble gum tastes like?

What would all this strange food taste like if we'd never had chicken?

Ever watch that guy on TV (his name is something like Andrew Zimmer) who eats EVERYTHING? It ALL tastes like chicken to him. I've seen him eat things that were still moving on the way down......and he always goes "ummmm".

I'm not too fond of okra unless it is batter dipped and deep fried, and I actually acquired a taste for collards (referred to as "greens" by the locals) when I worked the ghetto in Prince George's County. A little vinegar and salt with some bacon grease occasionally and they were quite tasty.

The Kentucky Fried Chickens in PGCo offered greens as a side, along with "smashed taters" and the half corn cobs. Like I said - it was pretty good but one must never eat it in the confines of a darkened cruiser - never know what may have crawled into the steam table or the deep frier and got cooked along with your dinner / lunch.

As a matter of survival, never eat Chineese food inside the Capitol Beltway. I got a complaint one time because a citizen had found half a rat - the whiskered end with the ears - in with their moo goo bedpan. Also, if you do decide to eat the fried rice, examine it carefully. The rice is NOT supposed to be able to move on its own, and there are a multitude of meats out there, wild and domestic, that taste like chicken.
