Have a safe trip...just realized you changed your location again. That cracks me up! Except the engineer in me had to measure where I am... That would be 24" behind both of my monitors...so I guess it doesn't matter which one I use.

Ooh.. I am so sorry...

Hubby from Iowa...

A good place to be from.FAR from.(Just kidding - I actually like Iowa.)Hey, is it just me or did the Trading Post forum close down?

FAR from.

Trading Post Forum????

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Okay, the Marketplace forum. So sue me.

 

[chefann]

Nope. It's still there. You lookin' for something, KG?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

No, I was just referring to all the stuff for sale that suddenly started showing up in this forum. Maybe we should also think about asking Greg to create a prayer request forum.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Oh, no. I'm not letting this pickle slide to page 2.

I have an update on Potty booking #1!

Potty called me to change her order. Subtracting items. So her daughter's show (booking #1) is now at something like $30, and it's likely that half of that will drop off because the one other order was an outside order, and Potty can't get a hold of that person.

AND- Potty had already gotten a money order before she figured out that she can't afford a $40 order, but they wouldn't take it back at the store. So she's mailing it to me and I'm supposed to mail her change back to her. She's never mentioned the $30 that she still owes me for her order on Booking #2 (the 12-year-old host).

Actually awhile back I saw someone say they did...maybe it is due again to be asked...

You need one large septic tank to house all the crap that is coming out of the potty...

 

[chefann]

The best part? Of the $30 that Booking #1 is at now, $10 is the Salad Chopper host special! So I won't even get paid on it! Luckily, Potty didn't want the booking bonus on booking #2, so there won't be a problem when I combine the shows.

What a total cluster-bleep (as DH would say). (And, yes, that's what he calls cluster meetings, too. Nice supportive guy I've got, huh?)

Okay, I tried to find the orginal story on the Potty Party. . .but I can't find it. You've got my attention -- where can I read about this saga?

 

[chefann]

The original story is in the Thread Killers Thread. June 18.

Be prepared to be grossed out.

Yeah, make sure you are not eating or drinking anything when you read it.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Okay, Cheffers, who can indentify the location of this photo?

 

[chefann]

hmmm.... looks familiar. I know! It looks like every freakin' high school football field in America.

I agree, but I have a feeling it is some sort of trick question... Go ahead, KG, enlighten us!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

High school? Ann, I'm disappointed in you. Here's another hint:

 

[chefann]

OMG! I didn't expect that! OK- so the back of the fitness center does look like a high school. And maybe if they added some logos on the field...

That's Cornell College, my alma mater.


(I recognized the second pic. All together now, "Traaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnnn!")

I'm trying to orient myself now to identify the little bit of roof behind the trees on the right. I think that's Olin Hall - men's (and I use that term loosely) residence, favored by the jocks.

Thanks for posting that!

 

[chefann]

Correct that - I think the roof is Bowman Hall, second or third oldest building on campus, women's residence, supposedly haunted by a ghost who sits in the tree in front of the front door.

Bowman's further up the hill than Olin, and would be more visible above the trees. Not to mention that Olin would also be far enough west of Bowman (toward the camera) that it wouldn't show in this pic.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time at the football field. Or in the fitness building, either.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I'm skipping the all-too-obvious smartass reply to that post so I can bring you this one:Thousands have, from far and near,
Heard our chimes so sweetly ring;
Countless voices here will sing
Praises of our college dear.
Cornell, greater be thy name
Than e'er in the days of yore;
Cornell, brighter be thy fame
In the years that lie before.Here we stand a loyal band,
Firm for all that's good and right.
By the Purple and the White,
May thy students ever stand.
Cornell, greater be thy name
Than e'er in the days of yore
Cornell, brighter be thy fame
In the years that lie before.When from thee we're far away,
Tears of mem'ry dim our eyes
As loved scenes before them rise,
Then we'll sing and then we'll say:
Cornell, greater be thy name
Than e'er in the days of yore;
Cornell, brighter be thy fame
In the years that lie before. (You can hear it sung HERE.) Did you know there is a fight song, too?Cornell Fightsby Claude E. Rose (Class of '33)CORNELL fight for victory
CORNELL fight for fame
Ever show our loyalty
Ever praise her nameLoyal ones of old Cornell
Fight for the
Purple and White
Keep her colors waving high
and FIGHT - FIGHT - FIGHT!

Most high schools have bigger bleachers. You are (obviously) not the only member of the 1200 student body that didn't/doesn't spend much time at the football field.

Cornell College reminds me of the Fred McMurray version of The Absent Minded Professor.

I was there yesterday afternoon, taking photos of the bridge for the bridge hunter website and thought of you when I saw the football field - the red of the track really lit up in the late afternoon sun.

 

[chefann]

There was another song, too, that I rediscovered in the stacks in the Library and arranged for band. It was wonderfully cheesy.

Let's see if I can remember any of it.

C-C-C-O-R
N-E-double L
Cornell, Cornell, Cornell, Rah!

Cornell, we truly love you,
There's none above you, Old Cornell.
You are the college royal
And we are loyal, Old Cornell.
We will be ever near you,
Defend and cheer you, Old Cornell.
Here's to your name,
Here's to your fame,
Old Cornell!

now that I think through it, I think the verses you posted as the first song are the verses to this one, and what I posted is the refrain. Yes, it calls for the singer to spell the name of the school. I told you it was cheesy.

Is Pizza Phallus, um... Palace, still there? And the highway marker? The one I specifically recall was near the water tower, closer to "downtown" than the campus.

I really need to take a trip back out there. It's only been 14 years since I matriculated. (There's an SAT word for you. )

 

[chefann]

Oh, yuk! I took a look on their website, and don't like the look of the new theater addition on the fine arts building. Bleah! Has noone heard of blending architecture?!?

Also can't believe that they made Pauley and Rorem halls single-gender again. That's were I lived for 3 years. Our unofficial slogan was "Pauley-Rorem: where the men sleep in the middle." (Floors 2 and 4 were women, floor 3 was men)

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I dunno if Pizza Phal...Palace is there but I guess it is since there's a billboard for it out on Highway 30 with the original slogan, "You've tried the rest, now try the best." I like the fact there's a Green Bay Packer bar on the Lincoln Highway downtown. Speaking of the Lincoln Highway, yes, the marker is still there near the water tower. (There's also one in Lisbon.) There are only a few of them left, Iowa has several still in place. One, in Clarence, is in it's own little phone booth. There were 2,731 of those markers and they were all placed on a Saturday in September of 1928. They were all placed by Boy Scouts. In that tradition, the Iowa Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association has been placing kiosks, like this one in Mount Vernon, with the aid of the Boy Scouts.

 

[chefann]

That's neat.

So did you hum "The Stripper" in honor of Pep Band? And slutty cheerleaders?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I think a lot of people went to the same small college in a different city.

 

[chefann]

I'm sure. Except that Cornell was the first college west of the Mississippi to grant women a full baccalaureate degree. Granted, in the early years it was only in education, but it was still something!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, that was about Normal.Snicker, chortle, giggle guffaw!

 

[chefann]

I'm reaching through the computer and slapping you now.But the big question is, how many people will actually understand that joke?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

You'd have to be a student of obscure American history to get it, I suppose. BTW, Cornell College used that name hoping they might win the hearts of Cornell University and get some money from them. They didn't.The same act that created the Land Grant (Normal) Schools also gave that other Cornell enough money to buy and sell a lot of land out west...they aquired much of the land in northern Wisconsin and then sold it to the timber barons...except they kept the mineral rights. To this day, most of the mineral rights in the northern half of the state are owned by Cornell U - there's even a city named after it.High above Cayuga's waters
There's an awful smell...
Some people say it's Cayuga's waters
We know it's Cornell.

 

[chefann]

They used the Cornell name because some Cornell cousin donated $1200 worth of books. That's what I was told.Mineral rights, huh? Did you know that Cornell College has one of the top undergrad geology programs in the country? At least, that's what they told students when I was there.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

That would be Cornell U that owns the mineral rights. I wonder how far east those rights go - with all the controversy over the Crandon Mine, I doubt Cornell owns those rights because, if they do, they are being very silent about it.The Crandon Mine is a major controversy - on one hand, it is one of the largest copper deposits known in the western hemisphere. On the other hand, it is in the Wolf River drainage area, the Wolf being one of the last pristine waterways left. So you have the people who want the copper on one side and the naturalists on the other and they've been fighting for nearly 50 years. At least one company gave up the fight, sold the mine and moved on.

 

[chefann]

Hey- I talked up the LHA 2013 road trip on the Lincoln forum last night. Someone had a thread about his son's road trip on Route 66 and there was a comment that "wouldn't it be fun to drop everything and do that?" So I mentioned it, said I'd get more info from you if there was interest.

Wouldn't that be cool? A bunch of Lincolns on the Lincoln highway.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

That would be great! We had a couple of Lincolns on the 90th Anniversary trip.I don't know if there's anything about it yet on lincolnhighwayassoc.org but it"s worth checking out.

 

[chefann]

A lot of the Lincoln owners we know are like you - they actually DRIVE their cars. There are plenty of trailer queens in the club, too, but those owners tend to be not much fun to be around. I think having 10 (or more!) of the land barges on the trek would just be cool.
