Big Blue Huddle

A guy walks past and sees an older dog with a sign around it's neck - For Sale - Talking Dog - $10.00.

The guy was dubious and said to the dog, "Can you really talk?"

The dog said, "Yes I can. In fact I have been talking for years since I was a puppy. Because of my skills I became a spy and flew all over the world on secret missions. I eventually retired and settled down with the family and kids. Now everyone has moved on and here am I by myself"

The man was amazed and spoke to the owner, "$10.00! Why would you sell a talking dog for just $10?"



The owner replied,"He's a liar, he never did any of that crap."

Joey Chestnut once again blew away the competition in the annual Nathan's hot dog eating contest in Coney Island, New York, downing 63 franks (and buns) in just 10 minutes. Sounds impressive on paper, but remember that "Jaws" swallowed a staggering 76 dawgs last year in the same competition. Yes, that is the world record by a Brooklyn mile.

Geoffrey Esper came in second with a paltry 47.5 hot dogs.



I watched the video and still do not see how a person can do this--yet this guy does it every year and wins by a mile.

He ate more hotdogs in 10 minutes than I have probably had in the last 10 years.

Maybe not top tier, but I do enjoy High Anxiety. PPNV, plus a lot of great Hitchcock pulls.

For me, third on the list would be History of the World

That and Spaceballs are right up there.

Don't forget the old TV series Get Smart. I never missed in when I was a kid.

My old user name (nygsem) can be removed from NY (Western and Central Area). I haven't been "bi-coastal" in nearly 10 years.

Those are my two favorites as well. For me I'd lean towards Young Frankenstein.

Take a pint of heavy cream out of the refrig and whip it to soft peaks.  You can whisk by hand, use a handheld mixer, use a stand mixer, or a stick blender.

One you've beat the cream into soft peaks, beat in one 14 oz. of condensed milk (fun fact, by law in the US & Canada, "condensed" milk is sweetened and "evaporated" milk is unsweetened).

This is the base of the ice cream, which you can now flavor any way you want.  Here are some I've done:

1) Coffee.  2 Tbs. of instant coffee dissolved in hot water.  Cool in refrig, and then fold into base.  Variation:  break up some Bishoff, or other brand cookies, and fold them in for cookies and coffee ice cream

2) Cookies and cream:  2 Tbs of vanilla then break up some Oreos and fold it all together

3) Creamsicle: 2 Tbs vanilla, then let a can of frozen orange juice concentrate partially defrost and then swirl it into the base

4) Mint cookies and cream.  Similar to 2, but Creme de Menthe in place of the vanilla and use mint Oreos for the cookie part.

My next version will involve 2 Tbs of vanilla, dark chocolate chips and broken up Chips Ahoy cookies.

Once you've done the flavoring, pour the mixture into a Tupperware container, snap a lid on, and put it in the freezer for about 6 hours.

My wife and I watch a cooking show out of Canada on YouTube called Glen and Friends. They're currently airing different ice cream variations of this exact recipe.

Here's the episode. My teacher/friend is Cameron Alarcio, he placed third.

Pretty sure he didn't. When I have time I'll try to find the episode and if I do I'll link to it.

One last thought. Although I don't necessarily consider him rock or a group, the conversation for most influential American artist over the past 60 years probably should begin and end with Bob Dylan.

Quote from: y_so_blu on June 25, 2022, 02:53:56 PMForged in Fire, the manliest reality/game show ever created. Just watching it adds hair to my chest and makes me want to burn down my house attempting to forge a blade.

One of my friends, a teacher at a middle school I work at, was on this show.

Thought of adding Skynrd or Allman Bros. I should have added at least one of them. IMO Allmans were slightly more influential even though I prefer Skynrd.

In no order.....
Eagles
CCR
Pearl Jam
Beach Boys
Ramones
Steely Dan

Nirvana
Simon and Garfunkel

Nice list but George Harrison and Jeff Lynne are British.

Interesting list. The inclusion of Sirius brought a smile to my face. As did One of These Days, (although that's not technically an instrumental). Did I miss seeing Dave Brubeck's Take Five? If Cliffs of Dove makes the list but not Take Five, well....pftftf.
