It was a song reference to a classic song by David Crosby, of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

You have The Internet, right?

Obviously I do; however, I'm not at my home computer 24/7.

I still don't understand what that lyric has to do with my back and forth with Ray in a nonsense thread.

I officially take "Let your freak flag fly" back, and instead recommend "Buy a vowel", liz. Or, conversely, "Use a Life-Line". I was wrong, and freely admit it. Some people should never let their freak flags fly. Too freaky.

You said repeatedly and emphatically in several ways and variants that you have absolutely no sense of humor. (We believe you. We believe you.)

I quoted Crosby saying "Let your freak flag fly", meaning "Be who you are proudly and make no excuses about it."

For God's freaking sake, liz. Even though you AREN'T at your computer all the time, and neither is anyone else, before you posted what you just did you had your chance, all the time in the world, actually, to LOOK THE F**KING QUOTE UP, especially after I TOLD you it was a quote from a famous song lyric by David Crosby. Are you completely incurious?

Make yourself look good. You might need to be the Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate someday, and you don't want Katie Couric to make YOU look like a moose in the headlights, do yah?

I have to go take antacids now because something has provoked me to heartburn, perhaps the excess humidity in the crisp Autumn New England air.


Try the veal, everyone! Be sure to tip your servers!

And now, because this is a thread about PETA, post your favorite veal recipes and dishes here!

Who loves Veal Piccata? Veal Fracais? Veal Parmesan? Veal chops? Osso Bucco? Let it all come out. All those liitle baby veal calves tied up in dark pens are there for a REASON, people!

Tell us why you favor the *OTHER* Other White Meat!

Thank you--I guess.



I'd already said, with no excuses.

In a post in another thread, I've said,

Please back off me, Helice.

I'm on the East Coast. Unfortunately, I can't back away any more than I already have. You're on the West Coast... how's the Puget Sound this time of year?

I'm afraid it's on you now. You and your non-existant sense of humor, God help us all.

So how's about that veal, huh?

....and by the way, you swore to us all that you wouldn't post in your sleep any more. Go to bed.

It was lovely again today--my tomatos have a chance at ripening--at least on the counter.

As for being up past my bedtime, yes I am. But I'm not asleep.

Do you stay up past your bedtime, Helice? Or do you just get up early?

I have a lot of recipes for veal. When we were first in Germany, my older brother (along with our family) traveled through Europe. John would never try local cuisine, but would always order breaded veal cutlets--He was comfortable with wiener schnitzel.

But what do veal recipes have to do with the way this thread has disintegrated?

What does that have to do with anything?

Good night and God bless--Don't let the bed bugs bite!

I think it's time we started talking about People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables. How would YOU like to be plucked off a vine like a tomato or yanked out of the ground by your root, like a carrot?

Just because you can't hear a turnip scream doesn't mean it has no feelings.

Word.
