Hey Crusty, no need to apologize for speaking Dutch. I wish I could. Heck, I`d like to speak Polish. Then I would call Malgos` and see what she has to say. (She is beautiful and I have a secret crush on her).

Don`t mind that crazy Duck on this forum. I think he fell over one of `them-there `physical cliffs` or somethin`! Ya know, he even has his own `special` words in our language. For instance, he thinks the words `artery` means the study of paintings. And `barium` is what doctors do when patients die! The Duck thinks `morbid` is a higher offer, and he believes `pelvis` is a second cousin to Elvis! Why... goodness, he`ll even tell you about the time he got `terminal illness` at the airport. The doctor told him he had a seizure but he thinks `seizure` is a Roman emperor. And that`s not all! That Duck thinks that 'bacteria' is a back door to a cafeteria. But the one that really get me is... that quack believes `nitrates` are the rates of pay for working at night. :shock:

HMMmmmm... what a guy :roll:

Welcome aboard "sads" in western Australia. It's great to have you with us. Say, "sads"... are you going to a Christmas party this year? I did! I went to a strange Christmas party that lasted clear to 8:00 P.M.! A friend asked me if I ever had a hard time making up my mind. I said, "Well, yes and no". Then my friend told me to take some advice. He said, "To make a long story short, don't tell it." Then he looked closely at my face and said, "Boy, it`s a good thing wrinkles don`t hurt!". And his wife said, "Gee, time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician". They walked away and left me thinking... "Wisdom may come with age, but sometimes age just arrives alone".
Then I spotted my car mechanic. I shook his hand and he said, "Hey Chuck, I couldn't repair your brakes, so I just made your horn louder."
Then some sissy lookin` dude in tights walked up holding a tray of all sorts of healthy lookin` little tidbits. "Hors d'oeuvres?" he asked.
"Forget the health food", I said. "I need all the preservatives I can get."
Shucks, the buzzards may be circling, but I`m not dead yet! Heck pards, I still get the same sensation from my rocking office chair that I once got from a roller coaster. Heck, I've even begun to choose cereal for the fiber, not the toy. Yup pards... I believe there are four stages in life:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Sad, isn't it? Looks like CW been on the trail too long, and done been involved with too much of something fermented that's not sausage-related.

Hey, Chuckles- - if you hit the brake pedal and the horn sounds, do ya think maybe that you're in the driver's seat upside down?

That could 'splain a lot.

Welcome aboard "tgreenfield" from Utah, "jcishs63" from Texas, and "Mark" from Tampa, Florida. Hey, it`s just great to have you join us on this wonderful Christmas Eve.
Say there, isn`t it about time for some, "Inquiring Minds Really, Really, Want To Know?"
Is there another word for "synonym"? Inquiring minds want to know! What should you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? And, can vegetarians eat animal crackers? Hey!...Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? And, hmmm... I wonder... how do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs? Yup, inquiring minds really, really, want to know! :roll:
It`s nice to have you fellas with us. Pull up some campfire and make yourselves at home.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Who are the two jaspers stringin` whizzers and stretchin` the blanket `round the ol` campfire tonight? Why, there`s ol DoubleWide from North Florida and Rahul from Faisalabad, Pakistan. Welcome to the WD brand boys! Help yourselves to the whistleberries and pour yourselves a cup of Arbuckle`s. We`re glad to have you here.

Say, isn`t it about time for some more Really, Really, Strange But True! - (Thrilling Tumbleweed Trivia... you know... particular, peculiar, poppycock you probably just couldn`t live without!) :roll:

(1.) In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." Well then, ...on July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first (and only) home run.
(2.) A strand from the web of a golden spider is as strong as a steel wire of the same size.
(3.) In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees.
(4.) Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
(5.) Mark Twain did not graduate from elementary school.
(6.) Heinz Catsup leaves the bottle at 25 miles per year.
(7.) Babe Ruth wore a cabbage leaf under his cap to keep him cool. He changed it every 2 innings.
(8.) Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin.
(9.) It takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year's supply of footballs.
(10.)There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.

Now, how could anyone live without this information? :mrgreen:

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

"Inquiring Minds Really, Really, Want To Know"! Have you folks ever noticed that bad decisions always make great stories? Could you folks answer a burning question for me? How come freezers don`t have lights like refrigerators do? What I`d really like to know is how many of you folks out there keep someone`s phone number in your cell phone just so you know not to answer when they call? :roll:
Say, we`ve got another new member today on WD. Welcome aboard kielbasanjo in Scottsville, New York. Pull up some campfire and pour yourself a cup of mudwater! You`re going to like this place. Nice to have you with us.

Best Wishes,

Hooo Boy! I was talkin` to my pal El Duckster the other day. That Texan sure has his own language. He told me that his congressman is an impotent person... you know... distinguished and well known - impotent! :roll: Yup, then he proceeded to tell me that a "coma" is a punctuation mark. And that`s not all! The word "tumor" means one plus one more! Oh, that poor quackster! He told me that his "colic" (sheepdog), was in the "recovery room" (where they do upholstery)... because he was an "enema" (not a friend) to the "post operative" (letter carrier) who`s now an "outpatient" (he had fainted). Whew! Now, that`s some kind of "vocrapulary" eh? I asked him how old that "colic" was. He said, "benign". You know... benign... that`s what you are after you be eight!

Hey gang! We`ve got two new members. First up is "TC" in Virginia. He must be the strong-silent type eh? Hey, I`m a` wondrin` how many TC`s there must be in the state of Virginia. Half a dozen anyway eh? :roll: Welcome aboard "TC"! We`re glad to see ya!

Next up, is "sausage-john" in the historic old town of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in Canada. That town has just got to be one the very most "quaint" cities in the world eh? Absolutely gorgeous. Welcome to WD sausage-john and TC! You fellas are going to take a fancy to this place.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Howdy all!

I'm Cheryl from Georgia. I am a beginner sausage maker. So far I've made 2 batches of hotdogs, fresh Italian sausages using casings and breakfast sausage that I made in to patties. I have SOOOOO much to learn. I have Meat Smoking and Smokehouse Design and I just love it. That's where I found this website/forum. I am also a member over at Smoked-Meat and they are just a great bunch of folks that helped me with my sausage endeavors. I am looking forward to learning from you guys.

Throw on a couple more rack of ribs Cookie! We`ve got three new starvin` wranglers ridin` `fer the WD brand! There`s "Squirrel" from Augusta, Georgia and she IS a peach and her name is Cheryl. What took you so long to find us Squirrel? And there`s ol` Doug from San Jose, California... hey Doug - long time no see! You`re looking well. :roll: And there`s a gent from beautiful Oregon. Jakub, we`ve been waiting for you to sign the roster. Welcome to Wedliny Domowe folks. You`re going to like this place. Pull up some campfire and pour yourselves as cup of brown gargle!

Say, I`ve got some "Seasoned Saddlebum`s Sage Advice" just for you folks. Heed the words and I`ll steer your straight (especially the part about love and marriage). :roll:
"Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want. Believe in love at first sight, but... be engaged at least six months before you get married. Marry a person you love to talk with. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. When you say, "I love you," mean it! And when you say, "I'm sorry", look the person straight in the eye."

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon
