I have the crock from a round 5-qt slow cooker that has nothing to do, since its heating unit died. Could I make sauerkraut in this? It would be my first attempt, so I'd also like to know how you can tell if homemade 'kraut is safe to eat.

A young acquaintance of mine appears on text messages as "carpetbanger." A female friend was scandalized until she learned it was a reference to his part-time job laying carpet.

For your listening pleasure, I recommend the late Gilda Radner's excellent "Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals."

(sorry, originally appended this to the wrong thread)

Sorry. Real life intervened. Dan (72), Cyegm Tyeo is what I got when I rot-13'd Plrtz Glrb, a place in the Whedonverse. I wondered how the place name came into being, and thought rot-13'ing it might show me. It didn't, but now I want to use it as an in-joke to see if anyone else would get it.

Now I want to write for a television show so I can title an episode "There's No Place Like Cyegm Tyeo."

#3: They say "this is the George Bush Fan club, if you are even remotely left of center, do not join as i will bomb your mother."

Is that a promise?

And the earplugs I keep on my keychain find yet another use...how would a poet react to an entire bus conspicuously donning earplugs, Walkmen/ipods, etc. when he starts to recite?

The refrain that keeps going through my head as I read this is:

First they banned Pemoline, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a narcoleptic.
Then they banned Ritalin, and I didn't say anything because I didn't have ADHD.
Then they banned morphine, and I didn't say anything because I didn't need painkillers.
Then they banned SSRI's, and there were no activists left to speak up for me.

Who do I write to again?
