Oooh! I've never been to Cracker Barrel... I have however heard extremely good things about Cracker Barrel... :lol:

I have a nickname for Cracker Barrel. I call it the Crack House. As does my wife now and my sisters in law. One of my sisters in law always promised to take me to Cracker Barrel and I said where The Crack House.

No one mentioned Corn Syrup

I asked my wife what Miracle Whip was and she said its Mayo but sweeter. Im like y'all add corn syrup to it. I could not stop laughing.

My wife won't let me buy corn syrup. She thinks im gonna put it all in my cooking .

How about the local commericals they look like they have been made on the budget of a dollar.

John Deere everythings John Deere here (hence I have the cap and t shirt)

Shopping on Sunday night something you can't do in the UK.

And finally a commerical for Vigagra or should I say Viva Vigagra.

I used to work with a lady named Joan Vinall-Cox. I couldn't believe that she didn't seem to notice. :blink:

I also used to work with a lady named Barb Boodhan. She had huge boobs, so we used to call her Boobs Bardhan when she wasn't within hearing distance. I was terrified I'd actually call her that to her face. :lol:

My Nan used to live next door to a woman named Pansy Pratt. My Nan called her "Old Pratty".

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Hehe, Marmite is a spread you put on toast or sandwiches. It's in a brown jar, with a yellow lid, it's a yeast extract, very very healthy for you. But I warn you, if you find it and want to try it, get a small jar, as you will either love it or hate it! ;) you have been warned! hehe.

Hehe! I get my mum to do that, but she just mainly sends me tubs of marmite which my sister gets for me from Macros. Is cheaper sending tubs that jars, because the tubs weigh much less.
