My nuts...

[flvegan]

You'll need more than two hands to hold my nuts. I just bought several containers, as they were on sale.

And yes, my nuts are lightly salted.

I wish all of you to have such a plentiful nut stash.

[Deja Q]

1. Mmmm. Salted nuts.

:9

[bigwillq]

2. YUM, NUTS!

:evilgrin:

[intrepid_wanderer]

3. nuts are tasty

... and they're good with (other) foods...

[DS1]

4. Do they make a good butter?

[flvegan]

5. Yes. And

most nut butter is high in protein.

[Dangerously Amused]

6. But... but... your nut butter is not vegan!

...is it?

[flvegan]

7. It is.

It's like donating blood. If I donated blood, and you needed blood (and I hope you never do) then it's for the betterment of another person. I'm not exploited.

If you need a nut butter sample, I can...oh, nevermind. I haven't had a post deleted all day.

[Dangerously Amused]

17. Oh good.

Because god knows the last thing I would ever want to do is exploit your nuts.



"Exploit" being an ambiguous term, and all. :7

[flvegan]

19. Which is why

we need a liberator, not an exploiter. Nut liberation is where it's at.

[Dangerously Amused]

21. I would be honored to liberate your nuts.

:patriot:

[flvegan]

27. No boltcutters

needed there.

[Dangerously Amused]

36. Boltcutters? Oh heavens, no! I shall be gentle.

I was thinking more along the lines of feathers. And maybe a little... oh shoot, the thread locking thing. :eyes:

Well, you knew what I meant.


:7

[flvegan]

38. Oh, you.

Normally, I'd ask for a hand drawn diagram about the liberation (of nuts). I'll let it go, considering the party involved.

[Dangerously Amused]

44. Wait! Wait! There's a party involved?

Woo hoo!

:woohoo:



Nut party at flvegan's place! Everybody in the pool!


:bounce:

[flvegan]

48. Come one, come all.

Jeez...did I just say that?

[AussieDave]

51. Yes you did......

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[Dangerously Amused]

58. LOL!

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

40. Feathers?

:wtf: {{{{{{{{{{{{{{not vegan}}}}}}}}}}}}}

[Dangerously Amused]

56. Ha ha! Good catch.

Well now, hold on here. I think we could stay with feathers if they were naturally shed from the bird.

[Deja Q]

9. And low in calories!

:rofl:

[AussieDave]

11. Depends on your intake..........

:o

[Deja Q]

23. I can take in a lot.

:9

[AussieDave]

28. My head is spinning.......

*swoon*

:blush:

[LeftyMom]

8. rerun!

[flvegan]

12. No

just repackaged, said package being something to behold.

[LeftyMom]

13. Hon, I don't think the rest of the lounge needs to know 'bout your package

O8)

[AussieDave]

14. Free-range nuts are nice too - fresh off the

tree (do nuts grow in bushes ??).

:o

[LeftyMom]

15. Barbara seems to have some nt

[AussieDave]

16. Somehow I think the biggest in the whole clan....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

20. Some people say that Ma Bush has elephantitis of the testes

:evilgrin:

[AussieDave]

24. The old broad must use a truss made of titanium to hold 'em up

off the ground.




(Oh my lord where ARE we going with this ??????)
:o

[LeftyMom]

29. I don't know, but it shut him up about his nut butter

:evilgrin:

[AussieDave]

31. Oh I'm not sure about that - the ol' nut butter is probably churning

as we speak........

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

33. That's a safe bet.

:eyes:

[flvegan]

35. Who specifically is churning nut butter?

Are there any additives? Preservatives?

[AussieDave]

43. Absolutely all-natural - otherwise it ain't worth having

I'm sure there are people all over the place churning some nut butter right now. You just have to listen......

:o

[LeftyMom]

46. It's a little early in the evening isn't it?

I thought most nut butter churning occured either in the morning or late at night. :shrug:

[flvegan]

18. You speak of unconfined nuts, then?

What a commando-esque thought. Certainly they don't eat from a tin.

[AussieDave]

22. As you say above - nut liberation is where it's at.....

:o

[LeftyMom]

26. But they're confined for thier own protection, safe from disease,

predation and the weather. If we let them roam free they'd wind up road kill! Won't you think of the nuts!

-This message brought to you by the American Nut Farmer's Assn.

[flvegan]

30. I disagree.

Free range nuts are largely akin to their confined kin. They just lack the intense confinement that comes *ahem* with being non free-range nuts.

[LeftyMom]

32. I guess the real question is, are these nuts being exploited?

How do you feel about that? :evilgrin:

[AussieDave]

37. Trust me - I think of the nuts ALL the time....

And I'm sure the nuts don't mind a bit of inclement weather now & then.

Plus any self-respecting nut farmer wouldn't leave his nuts lying around to be run over by Cletus in his Dukes-of-Hazzard-mobile.

Loose nuts are very beneficial, especially the low-hanging variety.
:o



(I can't believe I just said that)

[flvegan]

41. Fact is, though, that

loose hanging nuts often tighten up upon stimulation of the tree upon which they grow.

[AussieDave]

49. Quite correct - but that experience seems varied

Some nut farmers you talk to say it's a frequent occurrence, others say it doesn't occur as often. Some do the stimulation themselves, others get outside help. Cross-fertilization appears to be the most useful tool in this activity.

But loose nuts, in my opinion, ARE the best.


:eyes:

[flvegan]

52. Is there any way to promote the loose nuts?

We should be able to drive the stimulation of these nuts.

[AussieDave]

10. Salted beer nuts are great - you always need something wet

to wash them down.

*wipes tears out of eyes*..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[eyepaddle]

25. Bastid

I saw that thread title, and heard "My Nuts" set to the "tune" of "My Humps."

Why do you do this to me? :cry:

[flvegan]

34. It's all about the nuts, brother.

We all need to take our nuts into consideration. For example, I've seen your whitewater suggestions, and I think that you'd need a large influx of nuts to do much of that.

[eyepaddle]

39. Speaking of nuts and whitewater....

The other day some friends of mine rounded a bend in the river and ummm, interupted a couple! The lass was waving at them as they passed.

Just thought I'd pass that on! ;) :hi:

And for the record, I just couldn't snowboard--I'd break something, probabaly somthing I'd miss!

[flvegan]

47. No way, dude.

Snowboarding is easy in comparison to crashing down even the smallest of falls in a fiberglass/plastic shroud.

Besides, there's a big diff between hitting a massive flow and shredding a man-made situation. You deal with what's put forth, my mountain is designed, then put forth. My run is calculated. My half pipe is perfect. It's up to me to dial it in. Those in a kayak, it's all about dealing with what you're dealt.

Kind of like comparing a vert ramp to skating street.

[eyepaddle]

54. You'd be amazed at how quickly you can pick up the basics

Like that waterfall thread I've got out there right now--gravity does all the workyou just ride along and bob back up. In that series of pics I lean back a little too far (that actually makes the boat point DOWN) and I needled straight in. I think that fall was run eight or nine times that day--and I was the only dummy who had to roll up at the bottom!

The balance you get from boarding really helps with boating (most boaters snowboard too, I'm kind of an oddity--I just cross country ski)

I've got an extra boat--if you ever make it up this way I'll get you out there shreddin' the holes!

[flvegan]

55. Likely

you'll get me floating upside down, practicing holding my breath.

I'd love to try though. After which, I take YOU mountainbiking. I've got a spare Trek you can break.

Then, maybe to Attitash for a downhill luge...

[eyepaddle]

60. Luge!

You're talkin' to a Minnesota kid here luge was like the ultimate-dream-sled-run. We always talked about making our sled runs like bobsled and luge runs. (Yes, the reality always let us down--but ya gotta keepin' reaching for the starZ!) :)

[flvegan]

62. Seriously, I've done a lot of

crazy shit, but the land luge down Attitash scared me.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

42. Eff you.

Now that's happening to ME.

Thanks. Thanks a LOT. :eyes:

:cry:

[eyepaddle]

45. I'm gonna get get get you, oh the hell with it! My milkshake

brings all the boys to the yard
they're like; it's better than yours....

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

50. Milkshakes and nuts

I used to love walnuts on my sundae.

Spoon the nuts, enjoy the taste. Mmmm...creamy.

[Deja Q]

53. Wow, you're good!

:blush:

[flvegan]

57. Sadly, I have a lot of experience

with nuts. Had I the time, I'd churn my own nutbutter 24/7.

[Deja Q]

59. Wow, your nuts are popular tonight!

:D

[flvegan]

61. Indeed, friend. I wish

my nuts were this popular every night. Morning. Afternoon. Hell, nuts are good, and I wish I could promote these nuts all the time, and get folks to sample them. The more sampling, the better.

[DS1]

63. This is the nuttiest thread ever

it's like it's swimming in a million directions at once

[Deja Q]

64. That's the only thing that can come from being nuts

[flvegan]

65. I think that The Lounge is embracing nuts as a whole.

Just saying.

[Deja Q]

66. So we get nuts by proxy, fair enough.

:D

[DS1]

67. Surely there must be some sort of common bond our collective

nuts can form

[flvegan]

68. I think that nuts can come together.

That might help with the bonding.

[Generic Brad]

69. And just where do you have your nuts squirreled away?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[flvegan]

70. I keep my nuts securely

in my pants, when in the park.

[Ediacara]

71. Locking
