Miss Piggy was not the most sympathetic
character, after all, but Kermit had got
enough exposure already no doubt, so a change
might have been in order.

Kermit was still a big part of the show but it still lacked a lot.

Too bad. It seems the show did better when it was
self-avowedly corny and not trying to be up to date
and with the times. Same I guess with PDQ Bach.

It was no worse than any other kind of TV host

I appreciated it as much as ever when it aired,
not enough of course to be a regular viewer.

And that's why it went off the air, not enough support.

Possibly. There are lots of reasons why an enterprise
goes under - it's often lack of support (viewer,
sponsor, whatever), but there are lots of others.

Fashions. I've met one male Lynn and one
male Lyn (short for Lyndon, and yes, named
after the Texas politician).

I also know a Linn, properly Linda.

Lindas, and so on. If your Linda was a guy, that
would be quite notable.

Either or. One of our antiques took a big hit coming out of Berlin--the movers did a major number on the top (with a lot of glass) part. But,

Let your kids worry about it!

decorators used that kind of stuff as well.

I know one chain that does it. Some of the stuff is interesting to look

Texas Roadhouses often have that kind of kitchy

Answer: yes. There was a brief vogue for tobacco-smoked
food; and remember too that as with other things, there
are all-natural preservative-free tobacco products.

I'm still not that into it.

Fair enough, and that was clear already.

Shrimp Mosca
categories: Louisiana, shellfish, maine
servings: 4

2 lb shrimp in shells
2 bay leaves
1 pn oregano
1 pn rosemary powder
1 pn fresh ground pepper
1 ts salt
5 or 6 pods garlic
1 1/2 oz olive oil
1 oz sauterne wine

Place all ingredients in a skillet and saute over
hot fire 15 to 20 min, stirring occasionally, until
shrimp are slightly brown. Add sauterne and cook
over lower heat 10 min or untile the sauterne
evaporates. May use peeled shrimp, however, the
shells trap the sauce near the shrimp.

Doesn't much matter to me. Neither of my brothers nor Steve's brothers
had sons so those lines are (to use the geneological term) daughtering
out.

Some forms of corn ball are goofy good, others not worth the time/effort

Possibly. There are lots of reasons why an enterprise

sponsor, whatever), but there are lots of others.

The lack of viewer support is usually the main reason given for pulling
a show. Some should have never made it past the pilot episode.

I also know a Linn, properly Linda.

Lindas, and so on. If your Linda was a guy, that
would be quite notable.

Nothing noteworthy; this Linn is female. Had one Linda in my high school
class but she used the full name, probably to separate from the 3 Lynns.

I will, so far neither of them seem interested tho.

Texas Roadhouses often have that kind of kitchy
decor, and it doesn't detract from the experience,

TR isn't as bad as Cracker Barrel; the latter has way too much junque on
their walls.

There are degrees to everything. In several hundred
years, even the rent check might be museum fodder.

But with curators who actually know what they

Smarts helps. Doesn't pay to keep every single bit of paper but need to
know the importance of a shopping list vs a list of ancestors.

I can make a good GPS; if you want to buy a can of Read's, be my guest
but don't go out of your way to do so.
