I think the BBQ at Dr Hogly Wogly’s is the best in the L. A. area, but I don’t get out much, so take that for what it’s worth. I went there for lunch about a year ago, ordered the 1/2 lb brisket plate, ate it all up, and went into a food coma that lasted about 18 hours. Since then, I’ve gone through periods of intense craving that I’ve successfully held off. This thread, however, has destroyed all my defenses. I will eat there in the next few days or perish in the attempt.

“Turn it to channel thirteen, and maybe watch the rubber tongue,
when it comes out from the puffed and flatulent Mexican rubbergoods mask.”

I assume that’s the Channel 13 you remember. What a station that was.

The channel 13 Beefheart/Zappa is referring to there is KCOP (ch. 13) in Los Angeles; known for airing cheap flicks back in the day.

Doctorb–that was the wackiest thing you could post from Leviticus? Come on! I mean point taken, but let’s get to the stonings them fundies are supposed to be doing.

Nice try, “Zython”. Or should I say Heath-on???

Heath-on. Apply directly to a Heath. Saul, you drooling half-wit, I hate your commercials…but I love your product.

The Leviticus bit about not drinking wine or strong drink was a command to Aaron and company, the priests. Given that the most holy place was basically a slaughterhouse that was ON FREAKING FIRE it could be more of a safety precaution than a threat.

Well, they’re weren’t on all that often, & it was sometime ago. I’m pretty sure Channel 13 did them in-house. Very cheesy. Is the ‘Que at the Dr.’s any good? I never get into the Valley.

I’ve lived here for most of the last 40 years. Though I remember channel 13 very well, I do not remember the commercials you refer to.

Rufus: Are you old enough, or resident long enough, to remember the Dr. Hogly-Wogly commercials that used to air on Channel 13 (& only Channel 13) w/ the guy w/ the ridiculously deep voice?

An amusing reaction to the ~~debate~~Q&A session. TBogg found it, we copied it & linked to it as well as to Bloody Bill's take on it. Remember, budding Huckabee fans, he's one of the "doesn't believe in evolution" candidates.

I endorse the Barbecue of the Vanities. All others are temptations sent by Satan.

Leviticus: “drink ye not strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with the, lest ye die”

But wait; I thought if you didn’t drink, you were a dirty mooslim, bent on world domination.

I get so confused.

The Mr. reads the Revised Standard Version of teh Bible while he eats his pulled-pork sammiches. He never heard of such goings-on as snake-handling and poison-drinking and speaking in tongues til he came up here to the hill country. Yes they are batshit nutzoid. Amazing what rank poverty and bad-to-no education and bullshit religion can do to a human.

There is a movement among the fundamentalists, the King James Only folks.
The Great Gazoogle informs me that yes, there is indeed a project to translate the bible into Klingon.
This is why we have the intertubes.

Meh. In Northern California, we don’t have “regional cuisine”. We also don’t know barbque from a hole in the ground. I like armadillo willys, but I don’t think many of you would consider that BBQ.

What we DO, however, and it’s somewhat surprising that lots of other places haven’t figured this out yet, is we steal the good parts from everybody elses food.

hence, you get Vietnamese-Thai-Moroccan pizza with a glass of horchata.

Now THAT’S lunch…

The Vulgate was the tool of Satan, and anything after is even more infernal. Reading the KJV is worse than giving Lucifer a hummer.

I used to spar with a "King James only" believer on the Delphi forums, ten years ago. I am still haunted by teh craziness of it. Apparently, the 1611 version of the King James bible is the only "real" version of the bible; the only one inspired by God; the only one to be taken literally. Any other version of the bible is suspect, if not actual heresy. I can't find her whacky fuckstick webpage anymore, but this is the place that used to host it, and it's almost as bad. Check out the completely serious "Star Wars Surprise" page that demonstrates that Star Wars is a tool of the devil because Baphomet looks like Yoda when you turn him upside down. I shit you not.
