Hey, Chuckwagon- - just ignore that group of folks massing on your eastern border. (...or a bit farther south and east. Lemme check my jogger fee book a sec.)

Nothing to worry about. Nosiree. Us Texans are a peaceable bunch, mostly. We're just... uh... discussing sausages. Yeah, that's it. And as for the concealed handguns, don't worry 'bout that bidness either. There's a licensing program designed just for cases like yours. ...uh...like this.

Now, if you'll just ease a bit of that kabanosy over here, maybe a little summer sausage and some jerky and the like, we'll calm down for a bit.

...or not.
:mrgreen:

OOOOOOoooooo you danged Duk! You wrote:

Now, listen up quackbeak! If you want to threaten me, you're going to have to wait in line! :roll: (or something like that...)
I know everyone's heard of a "ringneck" pheasant... but I wonder if these folks have ever heard of ringing the neck of a DUK? :shock:
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

Yeee Hawww! Another wrangler ridin` fer` the WD brand! Welcome "mwmac" in Idaho. Say, did you ever stand on a mountain and look into four states? Yup, you can see into four states at the Heaven's Gate Lookout in Idaho`s Seven Devils' Peaks. And pards, if you want to have some real fun, check out the National Old Time Fiddlers Contest in Weiser, Idaho. Idaho is breathtaking! Forgive me for getting carried away. My ol` truck once broke down in Wallace and I spent a night there. I`m going back and break down again... for a week this time!
Now wranglers... have you ever wondered where the Appaloosa horse came from? The Kamiah Valley - home of the legendary Nez Perce. It was here, among the ancestors of the present day Nez Perce, the Appaloosa horse was first bred, primarily for use as a war animal. Well, "wmac", pour some Arbuckle`s and find a log to sit on around the campfire. We`re glad to have you with us.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Say there pards, isn`t it just about time for some, "Really, Really, Strange But True!" ? :roll: This is particularly, peculiar, poppycock you probably just couldn`t live without! :roll:

In November 1806, the famed explorer, U.S. Army Captain Zebulon Pike, announced that he would take a few men, climb the mountain peak he could see in the distance, and be back before dinner. Three days later, the men stumbled back into camp having failed to climb "Pike`s Peak" because of waist-deep snow. They hadn`t eaten for two days.

Two more intelligent and good-looking members are joining us today! There`s "Gus" in Florida, and "vietinis" in New York. Now both these men have the look of desperadoes you just don`t want to mess with! Notice the cold, staring eyes, squinting from the sun... and the hog-leg holsters worn tied down and slung low! Wow! Tough guys eh? Welcome to the WD brand boys! Mosey on down to the campfire and pour yourselves a cup of hot river water!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Hey! :mrgreen: Did anyone get all 5 answers correct? If you did, you've won a prize - a season pass for swimming in the Great Salt Lake! Join Ross and Wally in the same canoe, paddling in different directions! :roll: Now, that's a sight. :lol:

Yikes! Imagine being surrounded by water... Lake Erie on the south, Lake Ontario on the east, Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay on the north, and Lake Michigan on the west! Our latest member Hugestapedius lives in Woodstock, Ontario! We`ve got a question Hugestapedius... today is the first day of summer... have you folks thawed out yet from that vicious winter you just had? Every time I turned on the news, you folks were getting bombed with another snow storm and the temperature drop waaaayyy below zero. Gosh Huge, I`ll bet you folks celebrate summer this year eh? If I were the mayor of Woodstock, I`d declare this first day of summer as "Woodstock Day" and have a parade, floats, queen, bands, and lots of sun-worshipping! It would be mandatory that all females had to wear bikinis and use plenty of Coppertone! And of course, there would be free brats n` suds for everyone! Hey, hey, hey... Chuckwagon for Mayor of Woodstock! Chuckwagon for Mayor of Woodstock! :mrgreen:

Hey Huge, please let us know how that bacon project of yours turns out. It`s not just that enquiring minds want to know, but now we`ve got a vested interest in your bacon ourselves! Good luck pal. Welcome aboard.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Germs only cause disease, right? But E. Coli, (Escherichia coli), a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic common bacterium found in the intestine, helps us digest green vegetables and beans (also making gases - pee-ew!) :roll: . These same bacteria also make vitamin K, which causes blood to clot. If we didn`t have these germs we would bleed to death whenever we got a small cut! But then, all we`d have to do is "cuddle"! :shock: WHAT? You see... cuddling releases oxytocin which helps speed healing and recovery from physical wounds.

Welcome to Wedliny Domowe Yussel in New York. We`re glad to have you with us. Please make yourself comfortable and pull up some shade. Kick off yer` boots and pour some red-hot, Green River brown mud!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Oh my goodness! There`s a shoot-out at the First Sagebrush Bank in Rockslide Ridge and the "K-K Brothers" are fillin` the air with lead! That guy with the steeley eyes is "Hurricane" Kurtk out of Atlanta. And right behind him, shootin` dual .45 caliber hoglegs is "Slippery Jake" Kevlar from Manitoba. Look out boys! Sheriff Frank Furter from the great state of Wisconsin, is about to toss his loop `round you fellas and drag yer` carcasses down to the crowbar hotel! And here comes Deputy "Abra Cadabra" Aaron from Albany, Western Australia, holding a sawed-off .12 gauge and covering the sheriff. He's keepin' an eye peeled for "Dead Shot" Will Ami out of Wanganui, New Zealand. You see, earlier today, the mayor of Rockslide Ridge was notified by telegraph that the notorious and dangerous Will Ami was going to shoot up the town today at 4:00 P.M. and spring his gunmen if they were caught during the bank hold-up. Well, there were an` I`m getting` outta town on the 3:10 to Yuma! :shock:

It`s nice to have you boys ridin` fer` the WD brand. Kick off yer` can openers and hang up your cady. Relax and join the caboodle for some Arbuckle`s brown gargle and plenty of yammerin`. Welcome to Wedliny Domowe.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Howdy Chuckwagon (and all other Forum members too) -

Thanks for the welcome. It is appreciated.
Although, at the moment I'm still trying to negotiate myself around the site, I must say that I am impressed.
I have been making sausages (as an amateur) for about forty years - and, of course, I'm still learning.
We 'home-kill' all of our own cattle and pigs (amongst other things) and process them entirely on the farm.
So, I'm looking forward to participating in the Forum.
Will.

Say pards, who is that statuesque and elegant looking lady on that palamino a'ridin' into camp? Why... that's Ksantiana from Melbourne, Australia. Shucks, that lady can twirl two six-guns and shoot faster and straighter than most men in these parts! Yup, she's a lady to be reckoned with. So straighten up fellas... and make "Kid Ksantiana" feel welcome to the WD outfit. :mrgreen: It's nice to have you a'ridin' fer' the brand, Ksantiana. :wink: Welcome aboard!
