I got a tattoo in Wichita Falls, and Shiner is like mecca, I've got to go there for the beer tour.

Born and raised in the northwestern corner of Mississippi right under the Tenn border. It's considered the "Memphis area" and it's just easier to say that's where I'm from. Lived in the D/FW area after college over 10 years before being sentenced to Northern Virginiastan. Waiting on an appeal :-) I much prefer living in the South or Texas.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

What branch?

.

I miss crawdads. The local commissary has the imported ones from Asia, phuck that  ::)



I am ready for crawfish season to start. You are right those Chinese ones are tough and don't taste that good. Made some seafood gumbo with crawfish tails and crabmeat. Some expensive eating but damn good. I am so ready to suck some heads on dem crawdads.

mmm, crawfish.

Yes - he was probably there (not 100%, though - the other base is a lot of miles away), but we were more south of that. I remember him complaining about his drive. I left him a message to see what exact city/town we were in. All I remember is dirt roads and oyster/crawdaddy cookouts  :-)

What branch? They have oyster cookouts here but these people don't know what crawdads are, the f'ers. That's one of the ONLY things I miss about Mississippi.

Grew up in Cuero
Spent some time in San Antonio, Wichita Falls, and Abilene.
Been in Houston since 1986, and I hate it, but it's where I work.

Besides, ,most people do NOT eat the bodies of the crawfish...just the tails.

This seems a good prelude, one of those bands that plays at concerts before the real band appears, to a Friday evening thread--where's everybody from, or at?

Many were acquainted when members of another site, but there's been some new people here, including those sent by P-J Comix of the most-excellent DUmmie FUnnies, and so it might be a good idea to get an idea where members are from, or at.

Personally, that's perhaps why I perhaps possibly maybe "overuse" the term "the Sandhills of Nebraska" in so many comments; it's just a small reminder that I'm posting from a time and place hardly anyone else knows.

I know where Sandhill is...well sort of! One of my favorite places for chickens is Sandhill Preservation Center. They have some rare and amazing breeds and are well-known for their care in breeding for type (those qualities that make each breed "special"). Plus, they are THE place to go for heritage breeds.

Oh, and I live in Oregon...just south of Eugene, the Berkley-lite of the Willamette Valley. We're a red county (actually most counties in this state are, we just get drowned out by the raving moonbats in Portland and Eugene).

I have lived in Ashburn or Sycamore (basically the same town) all my life, with the exception of my stint in the Navy.  I'll never live north of Macon again.  Down here we say anyone north of Macon or south of Valdosta is a Yankee.

Yeah, but i've seen the green shit that comes out of the rest of it.

That's what you get when you have a bunch of inexperienced Georgians trying to cook'em. Here's how you prep crawfish:

1) Purchase one plastic kiddie pool
2) Fill with water
3) Fill with salt
4) pour in live crawfish

The salt water makes the crawfish regurgitate. You can leave'em in there for a while while you're preparing everything else. You need a container to dump the crawfish in once they're cooked (We always used a wheelbarrow lined with plastic bags).

Other things needed:

Sausage cut into thick slices
New potatoes (about 10 Lbs for every 40 Lbs of crawfish, which is usually a bag)
Half Ears of corn
Zatarain's Crab Boil

Also needed is a gas burner like a fish cooker. Fill the pot about 1/2 -3/4s of the way with water and Zatarain's. After that, it's all about maintaining because you'll be cooking for a while. Crawfish, potatoes, corn, and sausage. Once they're done, empty all of it onto the plastic, grab another beer, and repeat the process.

Oh yeah, and make sure the crawfish are alive before you start cooking.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.
