Quick and dirty Taco Pie:
Fritos fill the bottom of a bowl (or just plop on a plate).
Ladle on taco meat.
Add onions and whatever else floats your boat.
Cover with cheese.
Nuke it so cheese melts (or just leave the cheese alone).
Eat it.
This is a staple munchie found at the snack shack at many "rodeo" events.

Bull headed and a split personality. Gee.. how exciting!

fancy-dancy-astro-checker-thingie and wince. Heh.
Before one starts to snicker too heavily re: astro stuff and how it may be
a low-brow pursuit, the likes of Carl Jung spent many hours analyzing
charts and wrote to Frued regarding some of his conclusions. Sure, Jung
was a nutball and a goof, but he carried some amount of clout in the
shrinko world and is still considered influential by someone somewhere.
Kiersey, the fellow who brings you the temperament typing crap .. err..
stuff .. of the INFJ, etc., modeled much of his typing after Jung's
archetypes. I have an archive of emails between myself and the fine Dr.
Kiersey's son (David, Jr., a PhD in chemistry of some sort and a chaos
theory fanatic) whereupon I proceeded to demonstrate his father's work is
based upon astrology and the 12 zodiac signs (with the sub-variations for
rising signs, moon, etc.) was more detailed than the temperament typing
work his father spent so much time exploring. David, Jr. will get over it.
Oh yeah... before you go thinking I am not a Floridian, I was in Nebraska
for all of 6 months. Dad was in the AF and we headed back to good old
Florida after a stint in Alaska. He is a native and, while I wasn't born
here due to his service travels, I was returned to my rightful home ASAP.

For a moment there I thought your b-day is within just a few days of
mine, which would make you almost precisely 20 years my senior <shudder>
<G>, but then I recalled you damn Americans will insist on writing dates
the wrong way around. So you're just a little over 19 years older than me
after all <phew>.
Dunno what that makes you, although you might still fit in the same category
as me (capricorn), not that I have much use for those stupid horoscopes
outside of occasional amusement. :-)

No, he's a Sagittarius. He's my senior precisely but unfortunately not
by 20 years. I suppose this explains the shared z-car passion.

Sorry Sue, I beat you by a few hours. I was born Nov. 29, 1956 4

My sign is all that I know too. But given what Ken posted, and how
close our birth dates are to his, we probably don't want to know more.

Sagittarius is something like Nov. 22 thru Dec. 21 (Paula asked). You
can see I also know very little other than the dates for "my" sign. I'm
not even sure I could name the other 11 signs.

My mistake. :-) Centuar (or did Sue already answer that?), half man,
half beast. Come to think, that describes Ken pretty well.

One of the 12 signs of the Zodiac (Astrology). Most people just know their
Sun Sign. More info on Sun Signs:
http://www.astrology-online.com/persn.htm
Some info on Sagittarius:
The Archer
November 23 to December 21
Traditional Sagittarius Traits
Optimistic and freedom-loving
Jovial and good-humored
Honest and straightforward
Intellectual and philosophical
On the dark side....
Blindly optimistic and careless
Irresponsible and superficial
Tactless and restless
We can all see that Ken definitely is tactless and restless. *giggle* Ken
and I have talked a little about astrology before. I had an English teacher
who was fully into it and got me hooked on doing charts. As a puter person,
I feel guilty playing with a pseudo-science. I have found I get along with
Scorpio and Sagittarius the best. I'm a Gemini born on the Cusp of Cancer.
Midsummer Eve baby. I know someone who does full charts on her horses and
for the most part, she says they're boring. Most horse are born in January,
February, and March. Not a lot of difference in charts.

Well ... astrology is kinda funky stuff. People tend to concentrate on
just the "sun sign" (the major division of months) and overlook the rising
sign, moon, venus, mars and so on and so forth. A combination of all that
"data", it is believed, creates an inclination to be one way or another in
one's life. "Astrology inclines, it does not define" is the major thing to
remember. I find all of this an amusing diversion when I am in the mood to
kill some time and want to see what the half-nuts out there are thinking.
Personally, I think it is FOS for accuracy, but one can never really know
what lurks out there.
For a Sag, there is a "high Sag" and a "low Sag", depending on other
factors at the time of birth. A brief examination of the info can be found
at www.astro.com or www.astrocenter.com.
Have fun. Heh.

Yep. Also know as the archer/hunter - the man part of the centaur is
aiming a bow and arrow. Is it then so unusual a Sag is drawn to horses?
It's the hidden stuff that one has to watch out for - the rising sign,
Moon, Venus and other planets. The sun sign is considered just the tip of
a rather large iceburg. Or so sayeth the gurus.
Shrug. Who knows what is, and is not, worthy of belief and at what level.

Aha!! But it is amusing. So plug this in and do a chart: 12/01/56, 6:00
a.m., Offutt Air Force Base (Sarpy County, near Omaha), Nebraska.

We should get along smashingly, then. I have been informed in the past I
have a Scorpio rising, Scorpio moon and Scorpio Venus. It makes for
amusing cocktail chatter. Sometimes.

Damn, lying New Mexicans!!!!!<g>
My lore (circa 1978) is that it was invented in the geedunk in Land Plane
Hanger 3, Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Seriously, though, I'd bet this probably was invented in the food
experimentation lab of Frito Lay sometime after the first indiviual bags of
Fritos were produced!<g>

Whew, you Sagittarius' are wild characters! Have ya'all read the down side
to that particular sun sign? LOL!
June 27, '50 gets me way far away from you creatures! Waaaaaaaay far away,
and now things are beginning to get clearer. For Paula, don't you get into
the astrological aspects? I'd be a "Cancer" sign FYI, which sounds
horrible, but it's the sign of the Crab, cardinal water sign.
When is your birthday, Paula? Capricorn, eh?

Sagittarius is a centaur - half man half horse usually represented
with a bow and arrow.

Hm.
So you know what I'm saying when I say I'm Scorpio, Scorpio rising,
Aquarius moon, and just about evenly split between Libra and Scorpio
for everything else (except either Jupiter/Saturn in Leo).

That sounds suspiciously like "Frito Pie" which schools in Texas actually
consider to be a main dish!

Well, happy b-day to you in advance! :-) And always happy to meet other
long-time Tolkienists. Not that I'm a big expert (I know someone who could
probably wish you happy birthday in Sindarin), but I think it's bad

Hey, happy birthday!!

My birthday is today. I'm 38. I'm not getting the Bambi reference

So it seems to be in English. In Finnish it's the sign of the deer. I
wasn't aware that capricorn doesn't actually mean that.
Well, I'd rather be a cute little bambi than a stupid goat, so I'm sticking
to Finnish. :-)

You beat me by about ten years. I blame my brother for it not being less. He

the books for some years. It was love at first read, though!
: The sign of a true purist. I loved it too- couldn't put it down during

Silmarillion is just so grand and so sad. I can understand all the
indirect storytelling without many detailed scenes putting people off, but I
for one never found it boring.
: Have you read Unfinished Tales? Some of the very best, most beautiful

I don't own that one, but I've read it a few times. Good stuff certainly,
but reading unfinished fragments tends to frustrate me.

: I was very disappointed. I think the element that they came closest to
: getting perfect was Gandalf's whistle-call. *That* I liked.
On afterthought, I guess they didn't have a lot of choice, most people
watching these movies not being horse people. Doesn't stop me from thinking
all that snow-white-horse-galloping-in-slow-motion pretty darn corny. I was
almost as annoyed as when Arwen is escaping the Ringwraiths in Fellowship
and they make a huge big deal out of jumping this ridiculous little
tree trunk...

One of the few edible things they made. Though I sure the didn't use

No, No, No -- Capricorn is the "SeaGoat" not a deer. If you look up
artwork with this sign you will see that Capricorn is drawn as
half-goat, half-fish. Sort of a goat version of a mermaid.
How the heck did the Finns get "deer" out of this one? Dates are Dec.
22 thru January 21, I think.

Hmm, similar to my chart, but mine is somewhat odder. Aquarius on the
cusp of Pisces, Scorp rising, Scorp moon, Mars in Jupiter? Or Venus in
Mars? Been awhile since I've looked at the chart.
Anyway, reliable sources indicate it's hellaciously weird, matched
only by the fact that, according to the Chinese 'scope, I'm a Water
Dragon.
Which may explain the semi-Pagan Tibetan Bhuddist buckaroo part of me.
Or not--that could just be my natural-born contrarian Scotch-Irish

I think Shadowfax should at least have been grey (he's "silver" in the book)
rather than white. But artistic license and all that - the "White Rider"
must needs have a white horse, no?
I remain amazed at the mind that can take these books and translate them to
film while maintaining (most of) the feel I get from reading them. Yes,
scenes are elided and transposed, characters say one another's speeches, and
the tension between Arwen and Aragorn is a complete invention and yet ... I
am enthralled.
Not such a fanatic, I, that I would understand Happy Birthday in Sindarin
but I have read the Trilogy numerous times, the Silmarillion more than once,
and various of the other later volumes too.

Don't remember the dates, but -
Aries (Mar-Apr) - Ram
Taurus (Apr-May) - Bull
Gemini (May-Jun) - Twins
Cancer (Jun-Jul) - Crab (recently changed to Moon-child since crab has such
a negative connotation)
Leo (Jul-Aug) - Lion
Virgo (Aug-Sep) - Virgin
Libra (Sep-Oct) - Scales
Scorpio (Oct-Nov) - Scorpion
Sagittarius (Nov-Dec) - Hunter
Capricorn (Dec-Jan) - Sea goat
Aquarius (Jan-Feb) - Water bearer
Pisces (Feb-Mar) - Fish

I must have the only summer birthday of the group. I'm a Leo born in the

Oh, so am I. I complain all day long about all sorts of details, but truth
is, I love the movies just about as much as I love the books. I can't *wait*
for next Xmas and the third movie!

: No, No, No -- Capricorn is the "SeaGoat" not a deer. If you look up

Don't ask me, but as I said it's the traditional translation, used very
consistently in our language so I imagine it's pretty old. Stuff like this
happens between languages.
I really don't care much for horoscopes, so it's one and the same for me
what's "wrong" or "right" here. Deer definitely has more appeal.

relationship.
Gollum/Smeagol was terrific and of course the scenery was wonderful.
I thought the first movie stayed closer to the book than this one did.
I have read the Trilogy more than a few times and the Silmarilion a few
times.

I didn't like it much at first, but then I had a talk with a Tolkienist
friend... I think now that the point is that Jackson is very much
emphasizing the power and the influence of the ring, it's almost a character
in the movie. The movie Faramir isn't a crook; it just takes him longer to
realize what he's dealing with.

Well, it's a somewhat different interpretation of Tolkien's stories than
what we're used to. I don't really mind it and I'm curious to see how it all
turns out in the end. And I suspect we still haven't been told everything
that happened in Rivendell...
Uh-oh, this is going seriously off topic. :-)

In English. I doubt there even was a Swedish translation that early.
I read part of one Swedish translation much later. It was very poor.
Many of those beautiful names were substituted with Viking sounding
ones. I've heard there's a new one out now.

I made this, sort of, the other night. Tortilla chips, taco meat with a can of
pintos thrown in, more tortilla chips, olives, cheese. Baked it for awhile.
Man, it was *good*!

Gawd. You're one year, almost to the moment, younger than my SO. But
he was born in the village of Seldovia, in the Territory of Alaska. If you ride
anything like he does, that's saying something. He rides a bucking horse like
he's sitting in a rocking chair.
But one time when he jumped on my brat horse, I warned him that the horse
had been using trees lately, to get rid of riders. Chris laughed. He hopped on
my guy, who promptly rubbed him off with a tree. (The horse & me got a big
laugh out of it.) Chris got back on and the horse ran him under a *really* low
branch. It's a good thing we didn't have a firearm in the truck that day...
