What is this sheeps spread, and is it tasty?

Of course it's not tasty. The whole point of this is to gross out other eplayans by pretending that you regularly eat inedible food.

If it is inedible, would it still be considered "FOOD?"

Well, if we can eat things that are not considered food, then, I suppose we might consider things foods even if they cannot be eaten.

Can it be entered on the spreadsheet, that's the question.

I will be bringing bacon from my own pigs! I promise I will be there this year. I'll be bringing my wife Kiki (we're to be married on the playa Tuesday or Wednesday) And Fishy, if you're still game, I would still love to squire you about in my MV (DMV willing, they let it come)

Yes, in the column divisible by zero.

Oh yeah the official endorsement, with info, per our Mayor Doc Pyro here:

We have plenty of trash containers, a burn barrel that Ygmir made for paper waste (which there will be a ton of), tables, ice chests, propane cookers, microwave ovens, and certainly enough space to control the unwashed masses... Consider it done.
How about a pig made from spam, filled with Velveeta. Give it hot dog ends for nipples ...

Yggy are you bringing spam? Cause I will eat it, if you do.

I will bring pants... because, let's face it, nobody wants to see me without them!

INJECT THE CHEESE...

Dr. Helix, that bacon sounds wonderful! Yes, please! Thank you! And congratulations to you and your bride.

And BBD, I'm willing to take your word on the pants question, if that's how you feel about it...

...bringing rum, possibly Cuban-made Havana Club as I have a few bottles still. Since I'll have been there since opening day, food and ice are not possible. Uhm... a healthy dose of good cheer and some sock poi are coming along too.

See y'all!

Vegemite and some biscuits (you call them crackers).

Iâ€™d like to bring in some kangaroo for the BBQ - but logistically that is impossible. I looked at bringing in roo jerky but your US customs has â€œrulesâ€

Funny. We call British biscuits "cookies."

Solito · Post by **Solito** » Fri May 20, 2011 6:16 am

...and while we're flogging this subject - "Crackers" and "Cookies" are both said in Spanish as "Galletas".

My sons (5 and 2) - when speaking English - both ask for a "cracker" when they want a cookie due to their at-home-language of Spanish.

Hmmm... and speaking of jerky - I may bring a couple pounds of White Tail deer jerky from good ole Missouri... If it's still around in August. I had about 15 pounds made from my last one in December and it's already 3/4 gone.

A sweet biscuit is a cookie - a savoury one is a biscuit.

A chip is a potato thingy that is fried (either fresh or in a packet) - a crisp is something foreign.

But thatâ€™s all very dull really, but is making me hungry. And there is no crisps/crackers/biscuits/chips in the house. Given the rapture is occurring in Australia in about 33 minutes I best go get some chips and enjoy.

I guess this is how topic drift occurs....

2 Questions since I seem to be late in the game on this one:

1. What is something I could bring that would require very little prep/cook time? (First year on the playa and don't want to screw it up!)

2. Is this really the FB link for this event?? https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116400125108918[/b]

Dr. Pyro · Post by **Dr. Pyro** » Tue May 24, 2011 12:39 pm

To answer your questions:

1) Ice (always necessary), champagne, and beer. Those rounds of shrimp with cocktail sauce from CostCo are good as well. A large can of nuts are welcome. Chips with bean dip are a winner.

2) That is the FB page, but I never knew it even existed until now. And how does one sign up to say they'll be there?

lazerfox · Post by **lazerfox** » Tue May 24, 2011 12:57 pm

Thank you SO much Dr!!

And to return your kindness:
- "How does one sign up?" I believe anyone can just click on the link and if you are logged in to FB look on the top-right corner and push the "I'm attending" button.

Looking forward to meeting you!!
