Ummm, not that I want to add to this craziness, but Church's Chicken is the sh*t. Popeye's, KFC, and Chic-fil-a do not compare.

You people call yourselves Ohioans. But, we've had to endure nearly a page of CDM falling out over corporate-tool Chick-fil-A and none of you have stood up to praise the glory that is Barberton-style chicken?

 

For shame.

I woefully regret assisting in starting this rediculousness yesterday......  Lol.

*OOVVVVERRATED* - stadium chant

You poor, poor thing.  Church's Chicken is the White Castle of the Ghetto Bird.

I like Church's. Remember that short period when some White Castles had Church's in them? Maybe some still do.

*OOVVVVERRATED* - stadium chant

 

You can't have a one-person stadium chant, unless you're including your other personalities.

Leave *I Love Cleveland* out of this!

Leave *I Love Cleveland* out of this!

 

What about *I'm a creepy St. Louis stalker*?  Does the chant include him?

I don't stalk St. Louis.  It's a result of traveling.  I can rattle off the same weird local stuff from Philadelphia to Vallejo, CA.

 

Besides, St. Louis' local cuisine = :(

Lee's Famous Recipe!  Welcome to Kentucka!

Lee's is from LIMA, fool!

hey i made an apple pie, anyone want a slice?

mmmm apple pie.  That's one food thing I actually know how to make.  I followed some directions off the internet.  My favorite part was where they said "If you never made one before, please double the amount of everything.  You'll probably screw it up."  .....thanks....

^ Exactly correct, double everything :)

 

I haven't made a pie in around a decade. I remember how to make them because when I was growing up I used to watch my Dad make them all summer long. There are some good childhood memories in there!

I ran my 5th Chicago marathon today.  My legs are sad.

oh please -- put down the houspaint brush! i have brought up barberton style chicken numerous times over the years on uo. although come to think of it pretty sure i was the only one who ever did...  :laugh:

 

yeah its awesome & not because it's uber-local, it's origins are serbian and it has those unusual cuts, but mostly because they use lard as god intended. basically it's kind of an oddball tangent of its type -- in other words its the cincinnati chili of fried chicken!

 

I already emailed a couple folks on here who know a lot about History and might be able to help me out but I'm anxious to know about this piece of memorabilia I have so I'm posting it here too, trying to get a quicker response. I'm having trouble finding info I need online and it's p!ssing me off.

 

As you know, I collect and buy a lot of random sh!t to flip it. I'm no expert on collectibles and antiques but I always take the opportunity for a side hustle and I'm usually great at researching the stuff online to get a general idea of what it's worth.

 

I paid 2 bucks for a framed, matted, mint condition page from a mid-late Victorian-era fashion magazine, still around today. This was the first fashion magazine in existence. I admit, I didn't know this until I bought it then researched it. It's now called Harper's Bazaar but it's known as Harper's Bazar on this framed page, as that was the previous name of the same publication prior to 1912. I'm looking for indications of authenticity. The first thing that struck me is that the dimensions of the page are 8-9 inches x 6-7 inches. This is not common with today's magazines. It has a bunch of pictures featuring masquerade clothing (the magazine was geared toward upper-class Victorian Socialites). They're all illustrations, as photography wasn't common back then. It shows en vogue hairstyles, head accessories, stuff like that so I know it's from that time period. I would think it's authentic since it's framed, matted and backed by so much stuff but the size of the page and particularly the very small text, really makes me skeptical. If anyone knows whether or not this was common for some publications back in the mid-late 1800s, please let me know or give me an example of another publication that has done that. I want to find that out before I take this and other stuff I've found, to dealers to get rid of it.

Congrats!

Indeed, it was a hot day for the marathon.  I rode my bike to various points along the route and snapped photos.  Expect a photo thread soon.

Just curious - where did you acquire it?

A Thrift Store. I go there and buy the most random collectable stuff. I still haven't taken it to get looked at but if it's not worth anything I'll just give it away to someone who would appreciate it.

 

That same day, I saw a wood shoe, hand made, painted and everything, that I knew was used for Chinese foot binding. I thought about buying it to resell but it creeped the hell out of me! lol I think it was like a buck.

Problem is there were maybe hundreds of people wearing OSU attire.  That's just a few out of forty something thousand runners lol.

Simple home remedies and other handy tips

 

1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables; get someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

 

2. Avoid toilet seat arguments with your wife; use the sink.

 

3. For high blood pressure simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure. Remember to use a timer.

 

4. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

 

5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. You'll be afraid to cough.

 

6. You only need two tools in life -- WD-40 and duct tape.

  If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

  If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

 

7. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

 

:-D

Most Americans fail religion test

 

Atheists know the most about religion. And even they score a D on the test conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

 

On average, Americans could answer about half of 32 questions presented during the poll. The questions covered Christianity, world religions, the Bible and constitutional issues on religion.

 

Atheists topped the test, answering an average of 21 questions correctly. Jews and Latter-Day Saints came in second, scoring 20.

 

Other key findings:

 

    * Most Americans (89%) know that a teacher can’t lead a public school class in prayer. But only 23% know that a teacher CAN read from the Bible as an example of literature. That may be a key reason why Americans didn’t do so well on the biblical knowledge part of the test. Only 45 % could name all four Gospels.

    * Slightly more than half (54%) knew that the Quran is the holy book of Islam.

    * Many believers don’t know much about their own faith: 55% of Catholics understand transubstantiation–that the bread and wine are not merely symbols during Communion. Some 53% of Protestants don’t know Martin Luther inspired the Reformation. And only 19% of Protestants know that the religion teaches that salvation comes through faith without works.

    * Mother Teresa was the best known religious figure. But many couldn’t place the Dalai Lama or Joseph Smith within the correct faith.

I got 13 out of 15, but I knew a couple of those because of reports on the test results, so I was cheating.

I got 13/15 as well. I probably should have known the one about nirvana but I wasn't paying close enough attention. But I also got one by guessing, so I guess it evens out.

13 for me too.  Missed the last two.  And I might have gotten the communion one wrong too if not for the report already posted.

^I got 14 out of 15, missed the last one. I picked Charles Finney. That question was too esoteric for the masses--lol

Holy Crap (pun intended). I got 15/15. I quit going to CCD at 10 and never was confirmed. The only one I punted on was the "great awakening" question.

^yeah, it was a toss-up between Finney and Jonathan Edwards, but I thought it might be a trick question and kept thinking it was that charlatan TV "psychic."

That was the one I guessed on as well. I thought Jonathan Edwards sounded more like a holy roller type name.

15 out of 15! Only one I guessed on was the last one...so I guess I actually only knew 14/15.

I didn't know the last one, either.  Also, I missed the one about the Sabbath, but if I'd thought about it, I would have remembered the answer.

^I got 14 out of 15, missed the last one. I picked Charles Finney. That question was too esoteric for the masses--lol

 

Exactly the same for me.  I guessed Finney because of the Oberlin connection ("Finney Chapel"), but he was associated with the Second Great Awakening, apparently.  Won't make that mistake again...if it ever comes up again in my entire life.

After what just happened in NYC I feel like blowing up some balloons with helium and letting them take off near downtown. Someones footage will make national news and become a youtube hit!

14/15, which bears out in the study results. Go agnostics/athiests! :)

I can't believe I missed Joseph Smith! I just wasn't thinking.

15/15 but had to guess on the last one.

15/15...but the last was luck.

 

I want to know who the people are that they get to take these tests...for the most part, i have a hard time believing that they exist...and then i look at my coworkers and i realize...nope...these people outnumber me 10 to 1.

Also 14/15, missing the last one.

okay, for all the “14 out of 15" people who missed the last question, let's just go ahead and give ourselves perfect scores. Unless someone actually picked Billy Graham (and I'm certain no one here did :wink:), one would almost have to have a scholarly background in 18th and 19th century American religious history to know the correct answer. Like, okay?

I picked Graham  :|

I picked Graham  :|

you'll get a dispensation, being a "special case."

Put away the thesaurus, big guy.  It's only Tuesday.

I missed the Joseph Smith one!! I just wasn't thinking. That's why I got 14/15.

You guys are making me feel dumb. I only got 12/15. I only know about religion as it pertains to Sociology and American History (which is why I was surprised about Protestants not knowing anything about Martin Luther). I've been to church but I'm agnostic and never felt I had a vested interest in exploring Christianity. I did know about Communion and literally drinking/eating the body and blood of Christ and that's precisely why I always sat at the pew while everyone else did that disturbing ritual.
