Now here is a snippet of information for those that listened to the Real Audio clip, the violin player was Andy Stein who plays a Stroh violin with the Vince Giordano band (the band that provided the authentic 1930s music for The Aviator). A Stroh violin has a built-in horn to provide a slightly louder tone, they are fairly rare. |

| 422215 | 2006-01-18 07:33:00 | Happy New Year All, Damm great forum for a good laugh, don't know about the shootin the cook but I'd sure shoot the horse ifn he ate a mya "mournful oats". Back on da ranch mournful oats or porridge was known as soaked oats or porridge, ya know, 1 measure of oats to 2 measures of water. Checked out the site shame on whoever wrote the reciepe. Should have explained better don't you think. Cheers everybody and thanks heaps to all those kind helpers for sharing your 'expertease'. Gotta go the sides are achin'. |

Federal law prohibits the selling, transfer of or ownership to any portion(s) of said grain-product outside of the continental United States or it's possessions and/or territories . To traffic in a national icon is an offense punishable by imprisonment and a fine not to be less than $100,000 . 00 US dollars coin of the realm, and as a potential accessory-before-the-fact, you place yourself in great jeopardy and can from this point be served orders to cease and quit any/all inquiries into/concerning such a transaction . However, there is one possible way of releasing all liabilities to yourself and your island paradise . Please contact the Vice President of the United States and ask for consideration to be added to the list of US possessions and territories . Representatives are in your country at this very moment and can act upon this request very quickly . |
