Wait, no. I've had a positive effect on somebody here?
Now you've GOT to be kidding me! LMAO!
Dusky, you are so sweet! I've lost an entire morning watching your animal videos (and a couple that I was certain were going to get pulled because of age things, but that baby talking to her dad had me crying laughing. Think I sent you a note about it because I was afraid you'd get in trouble!).
But thank you so much. You couldn't be sweeter if you tried.
Hmm, why do I feel like chopped liver with a side of ramps and brussel sprouts?
Aw, don't. You're very sweet, but then I don't want to damage your reputation for being a grumpy curmudgeon. Who sleeps with six dogs.
I dated a Ranger once. I know when you say you're crazy, you ain't kidding.
Also, I'm not sure I've ever had ramps, but don't be trash talkin' chopped liver--which is the food of the gods, or Brussels sprouts, which, aside from artichokes and watermelon, are the best thing to ever pop from the ground.
Ramps are a member of the leek family, but have a few undesirable effects on human or animal metabolism.
Eating them affects your body odor in such a way that the term "unpleasant" is an understatement. They grow wild in the southern Appalachian mountains, and when they are in season, which is late summer or early fall, school kids will eat them just to get suspended from school because of the intolerable body odor.
I am unaware of how it happened, but somehow, chopped ramps were substituted for chopped onions in the officer's mess at battalion when all battalion officers all the way down to platoon level were required to eat with the battalion commander.
Of course the fact this incident happened after the esteemed battalion commander, during an inspection, discovered three quarts of rather good Western North Carolina non taxed or federally licensed whiskey which he ordered dumped down a toilet had no bearing on why this occurred, and who the individual or individuals were that orchestrated such a covert action that resulted in all the officers having a rather strong scent, which could be detected by the untrained nose at a fair distance providing the wind was right.
I can neither confirm or deny any involvement in this non sanctioned operation against allegedly friendly personnel.
Other than myself, there were five other men in my company that had family ties to the region or actually grew up there.
