Ranger's training thread

2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen Brussels sprouts

Your recipe fails for me. You MUST use fresh fart berries. Frozen fart berries don't pass muster.

Not always available. And at least in the US the frozen ones are not horrible.

What wine with brussels sprouts? Or should it be beer? Newcastle Brown works for me....

Arrogant Bastard Ale

Purple sprouting brocolli is the way to go kids. As healthy as you can get without the inherent air pressure changes that you get with sprouts.

In the absence of the thread’s founder, it is reassuring to see that the followers are holding to a steady course of keeping to the topic of posterior excretions of one sort or another. B.S. forever, vegetable or other wise!

That is good to know because ordinary brocolli and cauliflower seem to bring unwanted (as you so nicely put) air pressure changes . I happen to own and treasure an edition of the Merck Manual that contains information on flatulence:

Essay on Flatulence (first printed in the 14th Edition of The Merck Manual, 1982)

Flatulence, which can cause great psychosocial distress, is unofficially described according to its salient characteristics: (1) the “slider” (crowded elevator type), which is released slowly and noiselessly, sometimes with devastating effect; (2) the open sphincter, or “pooh” type, which is said to be of higher temperature and more aromatic; (3) the staccato or drumbeat type, pleasantly passed in privacy; and (4) the “bark” type (described in a personal communication) is characterized by a sharp exclamatory eruption that effectively interrupts (and often concludes) conversation. Aromaticity is not a prominent feature. Rarely, this usually distressing symptom has been turned to advantage, as with a Frenchman referred to as “Le Petomane,” who became affluent as an effluent performer who played tunes with the gas from his rectum on the Moulin Rouge stage.

Whether it's ranger or Brussels sprouts, it's the same end result.

Yes, the thread is holding the course well, as I said a couple of postings back.

[bellboy]

Could we run a sweep of what his first words will be when/if he is allowed back. Im going with Yea. That seems to be creeping in more and more. Not quite sure where the letter H disappears to though.

[bellboy]

Byron, with regards to Le Petomane we have our own version of him in England. He has been "performing" for over twenty years under the name Micky Methane. His God Save the Queen brings a tear to the eye of the toughest of men. A much maligned figure but as the saying goes "It's a living". Furthermore he isnt as annoying as Von ManBatt but to be brutally honest i dont think he can match our hero's 7.02 at BIRC.

I beg your pardon. Newcastle Brown Ale is the nectar of the gods. It's also a beer that used to be brewed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne (the city of my birth). It's now made in some anonymous factory in Yorkshire.

If you took that to be a snide comment, check this:

Wow brussels sprouts and strange Canadian beer (by that I mean strange beer not strange Canadians), this thread has taken a much better turn since The Special One started his week long ban.

His blog appears to be a fairly lonely place (only a few snide comments), he may do better talking to his wall.

The numbers of views of each post are quite high. Can this be rigged easily by the blogger?

Just wondering.

Canadian? The Stone Brewing Co. is in California and it is sort of expected to have strange things going on here. If you had used the expression "strange Californians" some might consider it to be redundant.

Yes Stone brewing is in California. Canadian? Then:

I know a thing or tow about real beer. Newcastle is a shadow of it's former self. Old Nick perhaps or Thomas Hardy's that has aged. Real Ale rules. I even have Michael Jackson's (The Beer Hunter) autograph on a beer t_shirt. I was the AHA Home-brewer of the Year once, but I don't go parading my past accomplishments.

I understand that you can reduce flatulence by reducing or eliminating ranger from your diet, racing your training, rowing at maximum drag, parading your strengths, stroking, erging 20k and biking 20k a and rowing 20k OTW a day and then reciting Robert Frost.
