Quit with the super long sigs already. I know you are all sad about loosing your precious sig images, but GROW UP! Neither of your imges had anything to do with unicycing anyway.

Now, I know that one way or other, your sig's are going to change and I'm going to look like an idiot because they aren't going to show up anymore, so I'll post the two sig's I'm talking about.

AND


How does Scrapple come to be?

Devotees stress that homemade Scrapple is best. Here, we'll learn how it's done.

First, we begin with the head of a pig (fresh is always preferable to frozen). Exactly which parts of a pig's head are included in Scrapple depends somewhat on regional preference.

To begin, the head should be cut in half, or even quartered. (The ears make for conventient handles while sawing the skull.) While an axe or cleaver can be used to split the head, a saw is preferable in that it produces no bone fragments.

Once the head is sectioned, some people remove the brains. Some remove the teeth - bashing them off with a cleaver. Yet others remove the eyes. The most nutritious scrapples contain the entire head! That said, however, special care should be taken to remove the ear drums. Left in place, they contribute a distinctively bitter taste to the Scrapple, which while popular in Pittsburgh, is generally disliked elsewhere.

Did you know?

An average scrapple loaf contains the rectums of 4 swine

Applied topically, Scrapple rivals Clearasil as a canine tongue magnet.

More on Scrapple:

Cool weather conjures up thoughts of hog killin' and scrapple makin'. After the hams and bacon have been put down in cure and the sausage is all ground and the lard rendered and the feets pickled and the snouts soused, you take what's left (the scraps) and make scrapple. Now, I have seen a lot of recipes for making scrapple. Most say to start with a shoulder or some such good piece of meat. Blasphemy! Everybody knows there are better ways to use a shoulder and such wanton waste would not have been tolerated back when times were tight and folks had to make the most of what they had. I have also had some Pennsylvania scrapple that was way too strong in liver. Here's how we used to make it back when I was a youngun.

Ingredients:
1 Grandmother to make sure everything is done "just so"
1 Mother to do most of the preparations. Overseen by ingredient #1
2 Children, big enough to stir the pot but not smart enough to be somewhere else
Hog heads (number depending upon how many hogs were killed)
About 1/4 of the livers (the rest having been made into liver pudding or fried)
Hearts
Various and sundry other parts of the pig not used to make other delicacies
Salt
Sage
Pepper
Maybe a little celery salt to highlight the flavors (optional)
Stone ground white cornmeal

The feature attraction is the cleaned head. Remove the eyeballs (the brains were removed on killing day and scrambled with eggs the next morning), break the head(s) into manageable pieces with a cleaver, and cook them down in a kettle of boiling water 'til the meat is easily pulled. Skim the fat from the water and save. Pull all of the meat and fat (separate) from the heads and chop up the chunks. Cook the liver and heart and whatever else wasn't used in other delicacies and grind them up. Get a tote-sack full of corn meal and keep it handy. Put the meat, heart, and other scraps (except liver) back into the simmering kettle of stock. Add liver until you can taste it but the liver flavor does not predominate. You can put some of the fat in if you wish. Add salt and celery salt - the cornmeal will take a lot of salt so you get this mixture fairly salty. Stir. Taste. Add sage and pepper to taste - not too much, now. Stir. Taste. Pass the spoon around so everybody can pass judgment. When it's right, you should taste salt first, then liver - but not too strong, rich pork meat flavor and a hint of sage. When everybody (especially ingredient #1) is agreed that it couldn't possibly be better, bring out the cornmeal and kids.

Now comes the hard part! Slowly stir in the cornmeal with a long wooden spoon - not too much at a time, now. Keep stirring. Add cornmeal. Keep stirring. Add cornmeal. Keep stirring. As the mixture starts to get thick, add some of the liquid fat that had been skimmed earlier. Keep stirring. Not thick enough yet. Add a little more corn meal. Keep stirring. A little more fat until there is a slight sheen to the surface but no visible oil. Keep stirring.

"Just where do you think you're going? Get back there and stir that pot!! "

As the mixture thickens and you fine tune the ratio of fat to cornmeal, it will start to separate from the sides of the kettle. This is a good thing 'cause the kids are about tuckered. Ladle it into lightly greased, shallow, rectangular or square tin pans to a thickness of about 2 1/2 inches. Be careful - it's still hot! Start slapping it down with the palm of your hand. Slap it like you mean it! SLAP IT! If you are doing it right, your hand should be beet red, sore and covered with a light coat of pig oil. Good. Now let the pans cool, cover with waxed paper and put them in the frigidare or cold pantry.

Next morning, remove scrapple from the pan and slice about 3/8" thick. Lightly flour both sides. Heat about 1/4" of bacon grease in an iron skillet 'til it just starts to smoke. Fry until outside starts to crisp but the inside is still soft. Drain briefly on a paper towel. Serve with Log Cabin syrup and eggs. There's nothing else like it in this world!!


You just don't seem to understand the idea of a community. I know there are plenty of other posters who also do things to deliberately offend and irritate, but it doesn't mean you have to also.

All they're trying to do is get signature images back. But some people found signature images too annoying. So this is what you get instead.

I, for one, am not doing this for childish reasons. If anyone remembers a while ago when a couple of people had the really long annoying text sigs (like mine), they will feel my pain. There have been no problems with these in a while. I never felt the images were a problem, even in the months before I had one (I only got mine a few weeks ago).


I just did this to show that there are worse things out there than images. I wouldn't mind having no signatures at all.

Exactly. Catboy and TheObieOne3226 have been added to my ignore list and they will stay there indefinitely. Gilby mentioned that he is planning on updating to a new version of the vBulletin forum software, possibly in the next few weeks. I'm hopeful that when the forum is updated that the Ignore List will function again. When that glorious day happens Catboy and TheObieOne3226 will magically disappear from my view.

Like I said, John. Do what ya gotta do. I will not have this signature in a few days, one way or another. Feel free to ignore my posts, no skin off my back. But, aside from the sigline issue, do you have a personal problem with me? Because, once this gets resolved, I see no need for unicyclists to feel any animosity toward eachother.

I don't have a problem with you personally. I do have a problem with childish immature displays of forum disobedience that annoy the entire forum community.

It's disobedience like that that erodes and gradually destroys a forum community. I've seen several online communities disappear because it became more fassionable to tag the forum or do other general acts of disobedience than to participate in the forum community. Disobedience is not welcome.

I personally don't like the idea of allowing graphics in signatures. It's a feature that always eventually gets abused. I also find the signature graphics to be anoying. It's like reading a page full of banner ads. I'm glad the signature images are gone.

TheObieOne3226
2004-10-28, 04:37 AM
I am not truly pro-image sigs. I just used to hate some of the long text sigs that people had. I found them far more annoying than the pics. I am just trying to show that there are worse things than image sigs. I would rather have no sigs, actually, than have to deal with a few annoying ones. But I guess that's an option I can choose.


About the disobedience:

I feel that this is nothing compared to some of the things that have been going on recently. This will annoy people for maybe a day, then all record of it, save these threads, will be gone.

I fully agree. I've been on these boards for 2 years now, and I think we've hit an all time low. Never have I seen so much petty behavior and negative vibe from the community.

There have been several instances of lude posting, but it has always passed in a few days with no real harm done. It seems that the negativity is festering and behavior like this does not help.

That is true. It's like the broken window syndrome. If you allow one broken window to go unrepaired in a neighborhood it will attract other windows to be broken as well. That and graffiti will cause the slow decline of a neighborhood. This pattern of bad behavior will only invite more of the same.

I also wish I could hear Klaas curse in Dutch when he reads the newsgroup and sees the new posts by Catboy and TheObieOne3226 with their massive sigs. Both Catboy and TheObieOne3226 posted to the main forum today while their massive sigs were active. Those posts made it out to usenet land and will be archived forever in Google. Bad netiquette.

In addition to Google, those posts will be archived forever on my PC and my backups. However, I sighed (in universal language) rather than cursed. In my news reader, each post has its own page. And the content of Obie's and Catboy's posts displays at the top so it's relatively easy to ignore the sig babble and just click on.

That doesn't mean I'm not fiercely opposing these silly long sigs. Clarification: I am against them.

Somebody else posted here recently about editing out sigs. Sorry, but I can't remember who but many thanks to you, as I just went to user cp, edit options and "Voila" no more long, annoying sigs!

Also, I think I'll start reporting abusive, insulting and goading posts to the moderator as a matter or course.

After all, he who stands idle and watches wrongdoing is as bad as the perpetrator (bad paraphrase, I know...)

Obie said, "I am just trying to show that there are worse things than image sigs."

No you are not, You are trying to be annoying to every forum user, with some form of misguided protest activity. You do understand any amount of this will have no effect on change? If you actually want change, you have to convince Gilby, not annoy all of us. And the more of this you do, the less likely Gilby is to care what you want.

I don't like people who fart in elevators. I express this by saying so. I do not feel the need to fart in the elevator and then say "See?" to everyone in there. They don't need an example either.

I can make a sig longer than yours. Or Catboy's. I don't need to *do* it, repeatedly, to prove this. This is a COMMUNITY. Not a sandbox with three preschoolers in it. Communities only work when people cooperate. Please try to play by the guidelines, or leave.

Adding people to one's ignore list is not a solution. That leaves them there for all the new and less experienced members of the community. Turning off sigs is the same; most users are probably not aware of this option. You guys need to turn *yourselves* off. Please act like adults, even if you're only teenagers. Not because we're asking, but because you choose to.

This day is like a gift from Allah. I have not been the only one here to praise Allah today. In fact, there has been an unusual amount of Allah praising going on around here today. And all for good reason.

By the graces of Allah, the ignore list is now functioning again. I knew this day would one day come. I just didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems the will of Allah can work in unexpected ways.

I'm going to enjoy a short period of reflection while I keep my ignore list active. Perhaps this period will help me to achieve a deeper understanding of the actions that brought this all to be.

The "ignore" function is all well and good, but it still shows the fact that they posted. What is needed is a usenet-like "yes, really ignore this person" option, so you don't even have to know they exist at all.

I'm such a kind and generous person I only have one name on my ignore list, and they haven't been around for over two years anyway...

I have absolutely no idea who Mr F is, so no... :)

It seems that the ignore list feature is not having the unintended side effects that it had before. It used to ignore people who posted from usenet if you weren't logged in to the forum. It doesn't seem to be doing that now.

And therefore there is no need to hack it and remove the feature.
