What about the Texas Alien??

From the article..

"[FONT=&quot]Essentially, Aurora (which claimed nearly 3,000 residents at the time) was in serious danger of dying out; Brammer's research also showed that Haydon was known in the town to be a bit of a jokester, and her conclusion is that Haydon's article was a last-ditch attempt to keep Aurora alive."

[/FONT] Sure seems strange that in 1897 ! their first thought to save the town, would be a UFO/Alien story ?

I mean at that time, the ONLY thing in the sky [that I can think of]was the occasional hot-air balloon.
 
GeorgiaXplant, thank you for 'splaining what lutefisk is. Sorry I asked, and definitely won't be requesting it anytime soon! Along the lines of eggs buried in Vietnam for 6 months then dug up and eaten. I won't be trying those either. I did try escargot (snail) though and thought it tasted like buttered rubber, not for me. OK, back to deviled eggs and the beer fight :D.

Just a flamboyant minute, hollydolly. Re-read the poll list, do you see "beer" anywhere on it, under it, or around it? While I'm here, what the hell is a lutefisk? I'm so confused but, when it comes to deviled eggs, make no mistake, they-are-mine! Just can't understand why peanut butter cookies weren't on the list :confused:. So thankful this topic came along and generated some signs of life round these parts, very invigorating I say :p.

No, no beer on the list mr man ... but I'm just a troublemaker... you gotta problem with that? :playful:...but ok...I'll step back from that, because I'm just wondering if the aliens would like those devilled eggs..they're aptly named anyway.. food of the satan

It was the Russians! The paperwork being written in Cyrillic Script would look like hieroglyphics to Texans in 1897. The signal service officer, also being into astronomy, pegged what bits were left of the pilot as being from Mars...I wonder what he based his opinion on.

I love it! Ken, I did read about this report some time ago.

Coffee, the sweet elixir of life. Newman's Own Organic Special Blend Medium Roast Extra Bold, yeah, life is good but not before my Coffee :playful:! Problem, I got no problem, we don't need no steenkin problems. Bless your heart, you go on with your bad self and make all the trouble your little heart desires. Just make sure to pass that plate of deviled eggs my way before handing it over to Satan!
 
About lutefisk, yum! It sounds right up there with the Scottish dish, haggis. Now there's a topic to discuss: what ethnic group has come up with the most disgusting dish?
 
".....Castel dell'Ovo (in English, Egg Castle) is a seaside castle in Naples, located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in medieval times as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications. Had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed and a series of disastrous events for Naples would have followed....".

Can your deviled eggs do that???? And I got Virgil in there as he tops Homer, Milton, and Goethe. And, I'm sure there is a link with the aliens that crashed in Roswell and the 'magical egg'.
BTW, I think we should argue over how to pronounce 'Goethe'. There is a Goethe street in Chicago which is usually pronounced 'goat-tee'.

Well, since deviled eggs are already "broken", I guess not :D Cool story, though.
 
I've never heard of this erudite publication before!

After reading some of it, I can see why they claim at the top of their page:"The World's Only Reliable News". Especially the reporting on the Dracula Fish: http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/23706/the-dracula-fish-returns/

The Dracula Fish is six feet tall, weighs 180 pounds. His head is large – about 15 inches high and about 24 inches around. The fish head looks harmless and sweet when its mouth is closed, but it has fangs on both the top and bottom of its jaw. The teeth are very sharp.

The Dracula Fish comes into London at night and then takes a train back to the sea for the morning. He sleeps in a coffin at the bottom of the sea.

Women, please, if you see the Dracula Fish, do not approach… there are other fish in the sea.

LOL!

But ... no less an august body as the National Geographic News has previously reported on a real-life dracula fish - the ones they found were less than one inch long and presumably didn't ride the tubes.

Do you know that if you put caviar in deviled egg mixture, it turns it green. Not a pretty green, either. A really nasty green.

I found that out the hard way.

That's interesting. How did it taste? Was it the really expensive kind? I'm curious. Did you all eat it? It should have been edible. One of the classic ways to serve it is on a blini or toast point with crumbled HB egg and a dab of mayo.

Yes, it tasted OK. Hey, I'm cheap.....I used the cheap stuff from the supermarket. I ate a couple; nobody else would touch one.
