Delta put a group of us in a metal box and drove us onto the tarmac so our connecting flight could just get in line for takeoff. We then sat there baking for two hours in the summer sun.
The pork industry was centered around Boston many years ago. They would smoke the hams but the shoulders required more processing so they were shipped out to a processing facility.
The shoulders were packaged in a certain shipping container called a butt. At the processing facility they would announce there was a shipment of Boston butts arriving. Of course it was all pork shoulder so they just started referring to the shoulder as a Boston Butt.
It also explains the term "a whole butt load"
So I’ve decided to visit every county courthouse in Wisconsin (I’ll probably throw in all other courthouses since that won’t add too many more). I started last week and dear lord are there some ugly courthouses
I'm not sure who is allowed to post in here, but your butt load has gotten my attention. I have no quibble with your excellent history of Boston butts, but the butt load has been around far longer. The butt was a unit of measurement in England long ago:
A regional English measure of capacity of a heavy cart (a butt), containing 6 seams, or 48 bushels, equivalent to 384 gallons. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/buttload
Now back to your regular programming. (I promise I will stop looking at your butt loads)
My hometown courthouse is either classically historic or classically ugly depending on how you look at it. 60 years ago little Boxster got to go WAY up into the tower with Cub Scouts or something. Tower was wooden scaffold like interior stairs and floor and kinda creepy.
Being that the 13 original colonies were founded by people from Brittain using the butt measurement makes sense.
Agreed. Those cheeky Brits provided us with a solid framework for butt measurement. Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
So are you going into each one or just looking at the outside of them? Are you using your lawyer privilege to get in during off hours?
They needed to shave a little weight off for the flight, so that was their technique.
Wow. I guess I'd better stay out of here. I'm getting "dumb" reactions on a pretty innocent post. Namárië !
I think you're being stalked.
I got a 'dumb' rating last night for writing that the Caleb Grill deal might be a good 'culture' move to have someone around that knows ISU and how games in Hilton are supposed to work.
Not usually the case here. Seems more like a stalker following you.
Well, alrighty then. I'll take care of this. *Strides off into the woods*
I was thinking, WTF is he doing in here when I saw the dumb rating. Dude has issues.
Always the best idea.
Go up the stairs. Go into the woods. Check the dark basement.
And if you happen to overtake the perp, make sure to stick around to see if they're really done for.
