    Swisher has, as he says, a good immune system. Mine
    is pretty okay and can use a little exercise now
    and then. As it was, the sludge smelled more like
    motor oil than anything else.
    Mine is by definition a little hyperactive. The motor oil smell sounds fairly foul.

    Fair is foul, foul is fair, don't get motor
    oil in your hair.

    It wasn't worse than other things that could
    have bubbled up into the sink.

    The simple fact you can get those sounds out,
    by hook or crook, is impressive.
    Only if the allergies and sinuses don't have me hitting bum notes. I don't take any credit for it; vocal range is something you're born with.

    My friends the voice teachers would disagree with
    that. Also Annie's former husband, who made himself
    from a natural baritone into a tenor (with poor
    success, though).

    Peacocks. Sharks. Buzzards. Turkeys.
    Beggars, tramps and thieves?
    Pretty much, but in fancy clothing.
    Oh. Politicians and lobbyists.
    By baton, hook, or crook.
    Or special session.

    There's nothing special about special sessions.

    Many traditions are not especially
    worth honoring.
    Some families have mashed turnips on the Thanksgiving table. Case in
    point.

    Clean Dave wrote about a family that had mashed
    rutabaga at Thanksgiving - it was kind of touching.

    Mashed Rutabaga with Sour Cream and Dill
    categories: vegetable, something to offend everyone
    servings: 6 to 8

    2 lb rutabagas, more as needed
    salt and black pepper
    2 ts butter
    1/4 c full-fat sour cream (more or less to taste)
    2 Tb chopped fresh dill or chives

    Peeled rutabagas and chop into 1" chunks.
    Boil in salted water to cover for 40 min or
    until tender. Drain and return to pot over
    low heat. Cook dry a couple minutes, then
    mash. Add butter and sour cream and season.
    Just before serving, add green herb.

    At least not by accident.

    Organics, shall we say.

    The possibility has to be there. With training you can expand your natural range a bit.

    Other than somebody getting overtime on the taxpayer's dime.

    We have creamed onions; my brother in law thinks we're kind of touched.
