I'm ashamed to admit I was "bested" today......

[Stanley Steamer]

I rode the Big Green Dragon down to Madison, GA to the Chophouse Grill .....I took the scenic ride down and got there just after the main lunch rush......I ordered the whitefish filet, fries, and green beans....and I just COULDN'T eat it all.... .....it was HUGE and took up half the plate...I almost NEVER have to ask for a take-out box, but that piece of fish was so good I just couldn't leave the other half there..... .....I guess the fact that I ate an order of fried green tomatoes for an appetizer MIGHT have had something to do with that??.... ..those were about 10 big slices all by themselves......

Well, since I had some yard work to do back here at the homestead, I took the road most traveled back but not without a little fun...it's a nice 2 lane road with a couple of areas with passing lanes.....I could NOT resist juicing on the throttle a little after some Redneck Yahoo in one of those big Dodge diesels with dual smoke stacks coming up out of the bed decided to ram his way around me and a truck in front of me at the last minute.....he got stuck behind an 18 wheeler but as soon as we hit another passing lane section, I took him to school on what the Valk could do to one of those diesels.....he passed the 18 wheeler and a couple of cars in front of him doing about 80mph.....and then I let the Big Girl eat.....I passed him and two other cars in front of him(never even downshifted out of 5th).....I lost track of the speed after the 110 mark...... .....but at least I wasn't having to smell those stinky diesel fumes anymore..... ... .. .

Stanley, you is lucky he didn't have a 'Big Dog' kit it in.........

You just might have been eatin smoke if he of had one...........

Don't ask how I know either, that is my story and I'm stickin to it.

Beware-his truck says both "Dodge" and "Ram" on it....

I have seen Cummins diesels in the 12 second 1/4 mile range but I assure you they had more than a 'big dog' kit and until I see it I'll put my money on honda's Dragon

I don't know what that is, but he decided to come around the 2 cars I had passed but got real small in my rear view mirror until I backed off of it....maybe his heart wasn't in it?....all I know is that is was one of those jacked up, crew cab Dodge Rams with dual smoke stacks coming up over the cab from the bed....he was belching some stinky exhaust and I just wasn't going to have any of that!!.....

Dude I don't know much about Dodge Rams but I do know that's one good lookin slab of fish you got there! Now that's a meal and a half! I would have done thew same to the dodge...those diesels are stinky.

I've owned 3 Dodge products in my life...a '73 Dodge Dart Swinger(318 V8), a 1984 Dodge Omni GLH(fun and sporty version of it sans the Turbo option), and an '82 Dodge Ram pick-up with the wimpy 225 slant 6....it was ok for a beater.....I would love to have the Dart and Omni back though....

I'm planning on eating the second half of that fish here shortly!!......

[bsnicely]

I wasn't hungry till you did that to me, suffered all afternoon!!

I would have shared it with you if I could!!..... I'm not usually a big fish eating kind of guy, but boy howdy....that was a very tasty piece of fish!!.....I sometimes eat tilapia here at home, or at Capt. D's...but that's not even close to "real" fish.....I once got a bone stuck in my throat from a trout an Aunt had cooked for me, and I didn't eat fish for years after that.....

I always thought these ought to be called "appetite killers" instead of "appetizers".  Everytime the wife and I get these when the main course comes we usually ask for a to go box right away!

I agree, just a couple of whiffs makes me nauseous!!

I had a Big Dog try to take me while I was home....he came no where near passing me.
