Del Mont* Humor

I have read this twice...I am confused. What are you talking about?

I'll have whatever he's having..... lmao.

Do people use these smokers to perhaps dry some type of weed out? I think so............

just my .02

C'Nooga

I think the lid on his canned good was inverted, so that the pull tab was inside the product. I am the Del Mont* safety rep, and we put those pull tabs inside the cans in case an employee accidentally gets stuck in there. If you found one of our employees who was too stupid to pull the tab, please tell him......he's been canned!

(Remember when you had to watch a full hour of "Hee Haw" for just one joke of that caliber?)

I had this happen once with a Power Bai* jar while fishing- the jar had a lid on THE INSIDE. I immediately and rationally deduced this was to keep problem employees "bottled up" at work! Iam ordering an 055 soon, Cookshack employees are forewarned, I ain't opening it up til its seasoned!

Sunshack, I sure hope you're not going to be driving any time soon. Let it wear off for a bit!

Oh, come on Steve - How can you be confused? It's obvious - He's having a problem with his thermometer probes. He should have tested them BEFORE pulling the tab.

(I'm a little concerned - Naples isn't all that far from where I am right now)

I'M LOST

You're not alone.

ditto.

But at least, dls, you are LOST in Florida and I am LOST in OKlahoma.LOL

Yeah KathyE - but I'll only be in Florida until tomorrow. Then it's back to Chicago for a few weeks. Bad news - I hear that it's been very, very cold in Chicago the past few days (I just came in from the beach). Good news - I'm putting some significant distance between my present location and Naples.

haha. Yeah, dig what you are saying about Naples.I thought about you going back to Chicago too as I was writing.

Sunshack; Jeez Buddy,just got otta' the VA hospital today myself,(not diet related). Good to see the CS form is doing what it does' best. I've found that when the Jack Man is on you take a package of saltines and crush them over your keyboard. Help's ya from slurring. FWIW..dls,K.E I'll be in probate court @ the Daly Center 28th this month, 2:00pm. Don't know of any Q places in the area (loop) but Al's #1 roast beef is something to look forward to . OK to keep in context,Sunshack.....NO

where is bridgeville anyway? I will be in PA and will look you up Bud. I have a friend who works at the VA hospital so maybe we can meet if you are back in there when I am in PA. KE

Whalebone - Nope, no Q worth seeking out around the Daley Center or anywhere else in the Loop for that matter. Al's #1 is always a good call.

For a change of pace in the same general area, you may want to consider Jim's Original for the best Polish Sausage or Pork Chop Sandwich that you'll ever have.

Hope you have a good day in court.

This post gets my vote for membership in the top 10 posts that make you go "what????"

We have to have somewhere to let off steam, don't we????
Speaking of The loop and things shaped like that.Did you know that there is a pull tab INSIDE of del Mont* cans?? when I was inside of a can of baked beans the other day I didn't notice any in there.

You're probably shopping at Walmart. They only sell the basic version of the can without the inside pull tab. It's their way of keeping costs down and passing the savings on to the customer.

If you notched up your choice of vendors a bit, you could get the limited edition cans. A little more costly, but well worth it for that inside tab. Comes in very handy for special occasions when you are entertaining large groups.

That is a great idea. I collect limited editions and will put a can with my Beanie Babies collectibles.

KathyE - Please don't do that. Displaying the limited edition Del Mont* cans alongside Beanie Babies really is a bit declasse'. Swarovski, or even the more common Waterford crystal makes a much better display mate. Birds of a feather, you know.

KathyE,dls,and uhhh... Sunspot; Bridgeville's 'bout 10 miles south of Pittsburgh,just off I-79. And no we won't meet at the VA. Very fine folks there but 3 weeks in ICU is enough for awhile. Shoot an e-mail when you get this way and we'll take it from there. dls, my pop's took me to Maxwell street all the time when I was a kid. Talk 'bout GOOD food,Yes!!! Gonna take the Orange back from the loop to midway that afternoon so if I get chance I'll head on over to Jim's. Gotta have the timing right there 'cause when it gets dark there it gets dark...ya know! Regards Folks.

Dear Miss Manners (dls)
I was thinking beanie weanies with beanie babies but I bow to your superior knowledge.Rachel Ray was at Wynn's in one of her shows yesterday. I still hope to get there someday.
Whalebone, that is funny--Sunspot--I hope he isn't a geat big Dude.

Whalebone,
My friend is at the VA in Valley Forge. But i will be comin through mid June from Ohio with a girlfriend on the way to Philly.
sorry you were in the ICU unit and glad you are out.

Whhalebone - Keep in mind that, sadly, tho old Maxwell Street market is long gone. The City pretty much wiped it out a few years ago for an expansion of the U of I campus. Jim's was one of the survivors and was relocated a few blocks away. Pretty tame area but still the same great food (And as always, you can smell it from a couple of blocks away).

The old Sat./Sun. market is sorely missed. Great food vendors, most with makeshift stands that they would set up for a day - BBQ was great - ribs for the most part. Retailers with their used, knockoff, or "borrowed/found" merchandise (My favorite was the guy with 10,000+ hubcaps). To top it off, there was the music. Strictly blues. A lot of very good no-names sitting on the corners but also musicians such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker that got their big kickoff there. So much for nostalgia. Sweet Home Chicago.

Did my homework on Savory Sides.

Also I think someone was doing some Pork Rib Tips and decided they would have the Santa Fe Corn as a side but the lift tab was nowhere to be found and upon somehow opening the can in some other manner, the lift tab was found on the inside...with a rather t'd off Del Monte Employee ....errrr... well perhaps the lable was on upside down and someone couldn't understand why the pull tab was somehow placed on the bottom of the can..... Am I really part of this?

Still a great post. Perhaps there will be a can of "Vienna Weinies with the pull tab" post in the next installment of Sunshacks Big Adventure.

"Lassie go find Timmy I can't reach the pull tab to get out of this well!"

dls; Yep,cryin'shame aint'it...KathyE,thanks for the kind words...tony76284; Welcome to the Dark Side...Can Carnage.

tony 76284, I never thought about the label being on upside down. see, I need to learn to think outside the can.
Listen I have opened a can of savorysides myself.it was german potato salad I think. think it was made by German Del Mont* employees trying to get even for WWII.It was brought in through our Ports that are protected by UnAmericans.
I agree that Viennas- called V-eye-ennas here in OK-should be our next subject.we could smoke them in those little armadillo shaped jalapeno popper holders they sell.

Yup...V-eye-ennas... and let us not forget
Ha-V-eye-eee is the place to venture to ven ve vant to eat zem. Yup they call them that here in TX too.
"Thinking outside the can" KathyE....Good One!

Yep, we say Vyeinnies. My youngest says Vyewiennies.

Oh, and btw, some of our ports are managed by the Chinese. It is nothing new, only just made new by the media.

Why wouldn't they be managed by the Chinese.....most of the goods coming in are from China....on their way to Wal-Mart.

I like the Vy wienies.Kids come up with the greatest things dont they?

dls; City is still Magnificent, Regards, Dave
