====================
Ahoy and avast there Michael!

->  -> My point: golden shellback is a subset of golden dragon,
->  -> therefore more eminent. And, in defense of dragons everywhere,
->  -> it should be the other way round.

->  HN> However your point is incorrect. One can
->  HN> be a shellback and not a golden Dragon
->  HN> One can be a Golden Dragon and Not a 
->  HN> shellback. Neither is a subset of the
->  HN> other. However at one juncture, they
->  HN> are coincident. At that point, the 
->  HN> shellback becomes elevated to the 
->  HN> level of the Dragon, in that it becomes
->  HN> both shellback AND golden.
-> 
-> Weightysec. Other sources say that
-> golden shellback = crossing the equator at 180
-> golden dragon = crossing anywhere at 180
-> 
Yes, that is so....

-> (or the date line, which is sort of similar but not
-> the same).
-> 
-> That means that if a polliwog crosses the equator at 180,
-> s/he makes shellback, golden, and dragon all at the same
-> time, no? And one can be a golden dragon and not a golden
-> shellback but not vice versa, which makes shellback not only
-> a subset but a proper subset (therefore rarer) of dragon.
-> Again I say avaunt, mortal, and fie.
-> 
By Harvard logic that may be so. By Naval
Tradition it is not so, even though it flies 
directly into the face of your logic (grin).
The ceremonies are equally horrific and 
humbling however! Fortunately we were
on a submerged vessel so we did not heave
to and get heaved overboard!

->  HN> I am also a member of the Order of the 
->  HN> Locks, and a Bluenose.
-> 
-> I had to look up that last. Cong-g-g-gratula-a-ations.
->
For which? Order of the locks was too hot
and Order of the bluenose was at -70F
Definitely too cold!!
 
->  -> I nibbled a bit of it. I think it did some good, but later on I
->  -> began to realize that Benadryl did better.
->  HN> Well if by better you mean "knocks
->  HN> me out", then yes...it may be better!
->  HN> Sadly it takes a wholloping big 
->  HN> dose of Benadryl to do anything 
->  HN> for me..
-> 
-> Being a pure soul, my Benadryl dose is 1/4 to 1/6 of a
-> tab, which makes life difficult when I'm at a drugstore
-> that only offers capsules. Of course, that level of use
-> means that it's a long time between refills.

Alas, I have not been a pure soul for more
eons that I care to remember! Perhaps it takes
a heap o meds to drown my impurities!

->  -=> Hap Newsom said to Ruth Haffly <=-
-> 
->  -> I said that to one of the guys as he left the Thanksgiving get together
->  -> at church, then had to translate. He's from St. George, SC, halfway
->  -> between Columbia & Charleston.
->  HN> Know it! Site of the World Grits Festival!!
-> 
-> ?? ?? b-l-e-u-r-g-h.
->
Yes..and in that part of the 
world grits is a two syllable word!
 
-> I am reminded me of the Mad Magazine parody that came out
-> when that John Wayne movie was released: they called it
-> "True **it." Cream of wheat is bad enough, but grits
-> achieve another order of magnitude of uglitude. Not
-> perhaps so nasty as Wheatena, but pretty close.
->
Do not come to me expecting an argument
there! I *can* enjoy grits when they are 
fried and with red eye gravy...otherwise
I'd leave em on the plate.

->   pan. Pour in batter.  Bake in preheated 375 oven 35 minutes or until
->   toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool on rack 15 minutes.
-> 
What do you do with the eggyolk and yukon jack mixture???

->   Polar Cap Cake Glaze In saucepan, combine Yukon Jack, butter gran. 
sugar
->   and water.  Heat, stirring, just to dissolve. Do not boil. With fork, poke
->   holes in cake. Drizzle with 1/2 glaze. Cool cake additional 10 minutes. To
->   remaining glaze, mix in conf. sugar. Remove cake from pan. Frost. Sprinkle
->   with chopped nuts.
-> 
->   Source unknown, but I would venture to guess from a booze ad
-> 
Probably...I'd just add the Yukon Jack to Jack 
Daniels and make a JackHammer and have that
with a slice of pound cake...easier and quicker ! (grin)
chat with you soon!
