Could it be???

[jim-ratliff]

it was very cool!? now does Phil get a bottle or just the DVD?

I'm feeling my Kansas Farm Boy naivete here.  I happened to read the label and it sounds like a review from a wine magazine (and this is cooking oil??)

From the groves of Italy's Puglia region ....  this cloudy oil is enormously grassy, artichoke-y, vegetal both in flavor and fragrance, and has a pepperiness to its finish.   You may also detect hints of green tomato, and even the slightest touch of mint.



On the can of lard my mom used to cook with it didn't say anything but Crisco.

well, Jim, I am duly impressed and have to say that I thnk you missed your calliing. OK, I would call that a finishing oil then.

But to discuss true southern "oils" our home was never without a jar of bacon fat in the frdige! I am 1/2 true southerner Jim- we're talkin' deep south too!  - with roots going back to the late 1600's starting out in VA.

Somewhere there's a pic of Phil passed out on a Mangy Moose bar table wearing a HH ski hat. (OK - that's a small embellishment but the hat came from Gary's better half Alice). More evidence linking Phil to HH. Hmmmm. He does get into that great counterbalance position when he skis.
Fess up Phil!

[Ron]

you mean these? The first is after Phil has attended a clinic, the constant reciting of mantra's and various methods of sublimnal brain washing have taken control of his brain.  The second is the acceptance and submission to the will of the "father Harold"....

Heres another great picture --- This was the evening of mikes mishap... a wonderful blend of BBQ, BEER and painkillers...

Ron, you da man! That was the last afternoon of my full functional left shoulder.

Repeat performance less than 2 months away!

Ron,
You made my day! I forgot about that one (wonder why?). Yup, I would have failed a "fitness for duty" test, unless duty was eating BBQ.

I need to get a Ron style hat and then you and I can be twin sons of different mothers at the Moose.

THX

[Ron]

yes, but your mind will be free of past experiences and focused on the skiing and the enjoyment of making pow turns, feeling the cold wind and snow on your face and the feling of flying. Not on anything else...... ? ?(we need a thumbs up emodicon)

I can help out with the hat!  And first beers on me!

The hat on Phil's head is dated 2002.? The HH technique has evolved significantly since then, and the external stigmata left from the conversion process are now far less noticeable.? When you meet Perry at Aspen, for example, he won't have the demonic red hue about his eyes that Phil's generation experienced.? In Midwif's case, the only visible sign of her HH exposure is a case of helmet hair.? Jim's only sign is a preference for supershape magnums.? It's a kinder, gentler HH indoctrination these days?
