    Our interests may differ a bit. I'd never heard
    of footwear by that name.
    Tony Lama boots, Tony Romo football player, Tony Roma rib joint.
    Okay, maybe I'll remember that. Probably not, as it's
    hard enough to remember stuff I'm interested in, much
    less other stuff.
    I know, hard to keep the various Tonys straight. I verified thru the

    Considering that none of the Tonys offers anything
    that I have even a faint interest in. I went to Tony
    Roma's once at a friend's request - he was a little
    down and out at the time and sang the praises of the
    place like a person who hadn't eaten in weeks, to the
    degree that my mouth was quite literally full of drool
    by the time we got there. Well. Oversweet, fruity, mushy
    ribs, previously parboiled to get rid of fat, not my
    thing at all. I've never been back.

    internet before I listed each, tho I was 99.5% sure of which Tony went
    with which association.

    I did a very cursory look and found sufficient
    references to Tony Roma doing ribs and boots that
    I figured that there might be a connection there.

    I forgot. (G)
    Welcome to the club.
    Had something to do with memory loss; I couldn't resist that line as
    it > fit the discussion so well.
    No doubt.
    We all have our moments...........

    Which moments are that ... ?

    They used to sell these devices that would take a
    section down to the core, and the seller would give
    the potential buyer a taste, and if it was good,
    the purchaser would be honor bound to take the fruit.
    Those were the days.
    I never saw that done. Steve buys watermelon from time to time when

    It was called plugging, as I recall.

    we're cooking for a small group--usually has a good bit left over that
    comes home with us. He'll eat most of it; I might have a small piece but
    it's not my favorite melon. I'd rather have a cantalope.

    We have others here for whom the opposite obtains.

    Quite so; I've got a bunch of them but probably not even 50.
    This guy apparently has the 1909 svdb coin, quite a
    plum find. He trusted me to hang out in his barn, but
    I guess to let me know he had this kind of collection,
    that's pretty big confidence.
    Or figured you weren't the type to either go after it or blab to others
    who might go after it.

    Which is a relatively high form of trust.

    Some may be worth it, as in some of the medical use of herbs,
    etc. A > ML> > couple of months ago if I'd said that I was going to

    Eh, I've heard of worse. It's not as if you were
    letting the shaman chew up some stuff and put that
    on your knee.
    Doubt that would ever happen.
    No opportunity for future missionary activity
    in the Amazon? Probably not.
    Maybe at one time but that time has long since passed. Maybe a short
    term mission trip somewhere other than VT but don't have any on the
    radar at the moment.

    Hi Michael,

    Tony Lama boots, Tony Romo football player, Tony Roma rib
    joint. > ML> Okay, maybe I'll remember that. Probably not, as it's

    thing at all. I've never been back.

    I thinnk I've been a total of twice--back when we were in HI. A friend
    took me there for lunch once, then for my birthday a few weeks later.
    That was while Steve was not eating pork so it was a chance for me to
    get some. He's since resumed eating pork, and makes much better ribs.

    We've driven thru TX enough times and seen signs for Tony Lama boots
    that I had no trouble remembering that. Tony Romo, OTOH, I know he's a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but beyond that, don't know anything
    about him.

    True.

    Quite so; I've got a bunch of them but probably not even 50.
    This guy apparently has the 1909 svdb coin, quite a
    plum find. He trusted me to hang out in his barn, but

    Very much so.

    Some may be worth it, as in some of the medical use of
    herbs, > ML> etc. A > ML> > couple of months ago if I'd said that I

    Just looking at the list of ingredients, I can see that it's too sweet
    for me. Ketchup, brown sugar and molasses--enough to make my teeth itch!
