One can get many kinds of sausages (a lot of the
midwest teams train here), but they mostly taste
the same, even the expensive ones such as antelope
or buffalo;

I guess that's not much of a surprise... the spices and such would tend
to cover any nuances of taste from the meat....

That's what they are for, or at least were at some point.

True. :)

also oddities such as fry bread at Salt River
(mediocre) and Iowa tenderloin sandwiches (what most
of the world knows as Illinois tenderloin sandwiches)
(quite good but on the costly and bad for you side).

Why would they be called either Iowa or Illinois... what's different
about them...?

Places that raise pigs. The guys who sell the Iowa ones
truck themselves down from there every season. My
hypothesis is that they did it for a lark once, with the
plan of seeing a game or two and selling enough pig to meet
expenses, then they realized that, hey, there's a pile to
be made here. Maybe they have a double crew, one watching
the game while the other works, then switching off.

Ah... so pork tenderloin sandwiches... Having a double crew, so as to be
able to also enjoy the games, would make the trip more worthwhile to the
crews as well as to the bosses... ;)

I do have some fond memories, especially
of the one year at Scottsdale where at the Don and
Charlie's stall they didn't have any fatty brisket,
but the guy said come back during the game, and I'll
save you some, and he did.

Nice... :)

The next year the guy was gone, and the people running
the booth had no idea how to achieve that result, so
the year after that we were gone too.

No fatty brisket, no deal... (G)

... Beware of the .. Oh, NOOO! Arghhh!!

That's the way I sometimes think the poem should have
ended -
And as in uffish thought he stood
The jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came.
One chew, two chews, and through and through
The roasted boy was then knocked back.
It then belched up the vorpal sword
And went galumphing back.

I remember Daddy declaming that (and other Lewis Carroll poems)... with expression.... (G)

It had problems with leaking water in around the windshield from just about the very day we picked it up from the dealer's... and it was
bought as a brand-new car....

Did the not completely reliable but it's all
we have Consumer's Reports say anything about
the issues?

Not that I recall.... it was a '82 Aries... 4-door sedan, manual transmission...

If one had a handy library that had hard copies of
ancient Buying Guides, that might be an impetus for
another hour's procrastination.

Not here... we might have benn getting CR back then, but I don't know
where, if existing, they'd be around here now... ;)

... I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now

Me too, more or less, just not so blind, weak, forgetful,
and low-capacitated.

Yeah......
