===================
  Subj: FIDO leaks

 JW> Some are in Russia; good luck stopping them.

 DD> Ask the Ukrainians about the difficulty of stopping the Rus.

I wish I had thought of that line first!

  Subj: telemarketers

 JW> And place a radio beside the receiver tuned to a country and
 JW> western station.

 DD> Or pretend you are a Broderick Crawford or Jack Webb type cop
 DD> investigating the murder of (you).
 DD> "How do you know (you)?"

That clip made me howl the first time I heard it, "And just what was
your relationship with the deceased? Are you his secret gay lover?"

I have given my grandgirls permission to swear at telemarketers even
though they are generally not allowed to. You should hear the filth
that those precious little princesses have picked up in elementary
school yards; they put the boys on South Park to shame!

  Subj: Rt 66 was:mag pwned

 JW> Betty's Country Inn was / in tiny little Miller, Missouri
 JW> which sits on old Route 66. (Google is a wonderful thing!)

 DD> That sent me to Bing to do some research

So I double checked. It's actually on a side road a mile or two off
route 66.

 DD> Old 66 used to run straight west from Halltown (west of
 DD> Springfield, MO to Carthage

Your memory is intact. According to both Google Maps and Wikipedia that
part of old Route 66 is now labelled Route 96 and it is still
straight.

      Title: Copper Country Pasties
 Categories: Pies, Beef, Steak, Pork, Potatoes
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
           Pastry:
      3 c  Flour
     3/4 c Butter (cold and cut
           Into bits)
  1 1/2 ts Salt
      6 tb Water
           Filling:
      1 lb Round steak; coarsely
           Ground
      1 lb Boneless pork loin;
           Coarsely ground
      5    Carrots; chopped
      2 lg Onions; chopped
      2    Potatoes; peeled and
           Chopped
    1/2 c  Rutabaga; chopped (can
           Substitute turnip)
      2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Pepper
 
  Exercise caution with the dough. In a large bowl, combine flour,
  butter and salt. Blend ingredients until well combined and add
  water, one tablespoon at a time to form a dough. Toss mixture
  until it forms a ball. Kneed dough lightly against a smooth
  surface with heel of the hand to distribute fat evenly. Form into
  a ball, dust with flour, wrap in wax paper and chill for 30
  minutes.
  
  Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Divide the dough into 6
  pieces, and roll one of the pieces into a 10-inch round on a
  lightly floured surface. Put 1 1/2 cups of filling on half of the
  round. Moisten the edges and fold the unfilled half over the
  filling to enclose it. Pinch the edges together to seal them and
  crimp them decoratively with a fork. Transfer pasty to lightly
  buttered baking sheet and cut several slits in the top.
  
  Roll out and fill the remaining dough in the same manner. Bake in
  a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Put 1 tsp. butter
  through a slit in each pasty and continue baking for 30 minutes
  more. Remove from oven, cover with a damp tea towel, cool for 15
  minutes.

Copper Country is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, not Cornwall,
which explains the heretical use of butter, carrots and pork.
