I am enjoying the heck out of this board

[zn]

I think virtually everyone is in at least partial disagreement with everyone else on something, at least to an extent, yet it’s a pleasure to read.

These are very divisive issues right now but it’s actually fun to read all the threads and get different takes on stuff.

I think everyone realizes how enjoyable that is. We can do all this disagreeing without the normal message board squabbling and flame posting. And make it fun to read in the process.

You know what that means. It means we deserve pie.

I don’t agree that anyone is in partial disagreement. I just disagree about that.

I will still have pie. Apple crumb, please.

That’s wrong. Dutch Apple is what you want.

Saturday night I was at the Dutch Apple Theater in Lancaster. My wife and I saw a production of “Anything Goes”. And yes–there was pie–lots of pie really. And yes–I had Dutch Apple–which IS a crumb pie, by the way. So I disagree with you.

Also there was shoo-fly pie–but I won’t eat that.

By the way Emma Stoltzfus was fantastic as Reno–the saucy dame in the play.

I agree with all that.

Though, DV is just a figurehead. Or figure of speech. One of the 2.

I don’t even like pie.

Where is the ice cream?

Dammit, I hate pot lucks.

You know there are people in China who cannot even pronounce the word “potluck” properly.

So be grateful for what you have.

Don’t try to boss me around. You act like you think you’re in charge of the board.

You speak the devil’s tongue.

You know–I knew about three or four phrases growing up–and I am not sure I was ever really told what they mean–although I’m pretty sure one was cussing. But don’t ask me to spell them–no clue.

By the way–the dancing Amish sailors made you BELIEVE.

Yes, I think this thought daily. It’s almost as if people here don’t understand how communication on the internet is supposed to work.

[JackPMiller]

I agree to disagree or is it, I disagree to agree? I’m so confused. 😕 😕 🚾❔❓

Finally. Ice cream.

What’s that shit underneath it?

[Zooey]

Once I had a waitress ask me – after I ordered apple pie a la mode – if I wanted ice cream with that. I was 12 at the time, so I was suddenly thrust into the Land of Uncertainty.

My brain did this wuah wuah wuah wuah back-and-forth thing for a second, rear wheels spinning hopelessly in the quagmire, before I finally uttered a feeble, “Yes, please.”

Did you answer in the affirmative?

It was disconcerting.

I’ll never forget it.

My family was on a long vacation around the USA in a motor home that belonged to my grandpa. And we went all over the place, coast to coast. It was great. On our return portion of the trip, we threw a rod, or something – I was 12 – and we got stuck in Fairfield, Illinois for a couple of days.

Well, Fairfield isn’t one of the places where we had stuck a big, bright pin into before we left home. But I wanna be nice to those people (who did me no harm), as I recount them.

We boarded up in a crappy little motel with a swimming pool that was absolutely as green as the Philadelphia Eagles. And we went to dinner at the place that was there. You know. Cal’s Big Eats, or whatever. Your basic iceburg lettuce, piece of meat, mashed potatoes, and cooked to death vegetable platter kind of place.

So she asks me, “Do you want ice cream with that?” and my first thought is that I am a total numbskull and screwed up the request, and said something that was all wrong, and don’t know what “a la mode” means, and my three idiot brothers are all about to savage me like a pack of starved wolves if I don’t get myself out of this right quick.

And my brain flutters between “is it her – is it me – is it her – is it me” for a moment of sheer terror.

So I say, “Yes, please.” And she takes our menus and goes away.

And my starving wolf brothers descend on her in a craze as soon as her back is turned.

Family joke to this day.

“You want ice cream with that?”

from the wiki:

History

Fairfield is most famous for being the hometown of the Shelton Brothers Gang, notorious bootleggers who fought it out with the Harrisburg, Illinois based Birger Gang to control criminal activities in Southern Illinois. During the first half of the 20th century gang leaders Carl, Earl and Bernie Shelton made Fairfield a household name. Based on testimony of Charlie Birger himself, the Shelton Brothers were convicted for a 1925 unsolved mail carrier robbery of $15,000 and were sentenced to 25 years. They were released a few years later. Birger dominated bootlegging in Southern Illinois until he himself was hanged in Benton for the murder of West City Mayor Joe Adams in 1928. After serving their time, the Shelton brothers built a new criminal empire. Based out of East St Louis, one of the most prosperous cities of its day, they controlled all vice from Peoria and southward.

They met their demise at the hands of the Chicago mob and an insider Charles “Blackie” Harris. A land dispute led to Blackie joining forces with the Mob to kill off members of the Shelton gang. His most notable victim was Carl Shelton, the leader. He was ambushed several miles southeast of Fairfield, shot from his Jeep. Bernie was killed at his Peoria roadhouse. Earl moved to Jacksonville, Florida and became a successful land speculator.
