Kidney theft vectored in college class
Medieval Knievel
theft. when i mentioned that I knew this to be untrue, he claimed that a
friend of his at UTA had verified the story. Another student chimed in with
the New Orleans variation of the story. I have e-mailed them both the
appropriate snopes pages, and an awaiting the indignant replies I usually
get when I do this.
And all I ever wanted was to be popular...

There is no "University of Texas at Austin". There is "The University
of Texas" wich is in Austin.

"UTA" has nought to do with the University of Texas which is in Austin.
"UTA" is the "University of Texas at Arlington", once Arlington State,
but elevated to the peerage by act of the Moot (which meeteth too often
and enacteth too much, with much clanking of hilt on buckler).
Then there's TAMU, which is not a related to Shamu, an Orcan.
As that great American, W. C. Brann, editor and publisher of the
_Iconoclast_, a 19th century periodical which should be required reading
for afuites and novitiates, once wrote:
"Baylor University stands four square against heresy, the Papacy and
lunacy, but up to its neck in hypocrisy."

You might want to revise your database. I refer you to the
web page of the institution to which you refer:
http://www.utexas.edu/
There, in letters clear enough that even an Aggie couldn't
mistake them, it states: University of Texas at Austin.
It repeats that phrase in the welcome from the president.
Apparently the rapid proliferation of Universities of Texas
drove them to make the distinction. TAMU has so far avoided
this, even though there are growing numbers of Texas A&Ms.
All of this has nothing to do with the voracity of the kidney
story.

Hahahaha -- this is pretty good, even tho, not being from Texas and never
having lived there, I can't fully appreciate the Aggie humor. However,
even *I* can't mistake those big letters at the top of the web page!
All of which has nothing to do with kidney theft, altho I think it might
relate to another thread that's been floating around here...... but, never

In my case, I dropped the argument after it became clear that the issue
wasn't going to be solved in class. I e-mailed him the link to the snopes
page, and today we had a talk in his office, and the issue didn't come up.
Instead, he offered to recommend me to a doctoral program when I finish the
current masters program I am in. I am really glad that I showed a bit of
reserve in this case.

Nonetheless, in Texas and surrounding states, it is commonly referred to as
University of Texas at Austin for the sake of clarity, rather than some
pedantic sense of correctness. Whether or not the abbreviation UTA refers
to some other university is kind of beside the point, as I abbreviated as
such simply for the sake of brevity. Having given the full name in the
original post along with the abbreviation, I think the reference to the
Austin campus would have been clear, the obsessive-compulsive nature of many
AFUers not withstanding.

The emergence of "profs" as the most frequent vectors for ULs seems well
established in 'merkin society. No group is so far removed from the
real world and the harsh, cold debunking which occurs in the
marketplace (or after you've left with your purchase and discover the
extent to which you'been screwed). Secure in their ivory towers,
normally attended only by crowds of grade dependent abject toadies or
tenure dependent fawning sycophants, their compendium of knowlege
usually antiquated, outdated or so subject-limited as to embarass them
when allowed to wander in public places, we probably wouldn't have ULs,
if there were no profs.

It may be referred to as the University of Texas at Austin, but it is
abbreviated UT, UTA being used for the Arlington campus.

There is this constantly circulating UL here in Georgia that Texans actually
barbeque BEEF, but some of the locals tried doing it once and my god you've never

Meat? I'm much more interested in whether or not it's true that a) you must
go down to the ghetto-ish part of town and find a place with a hand-painted
sign in order to find the best barbecue in town, and b) if that piece or two
of Wonderbread (which is always served with your meal at the afore-mentioned
barbecue stands) is meant to be eaten or is for wiping your hands and mouth.

"a" is not entirely true, at least around here. Rather than looking for a
hand-painted sign, you just read the newspaper. They post the local
restaurant inspection ratings (should you ever find yourself in a
Wichita/Sedgwick County/Kansas (not sure how "local" this "local law" is)
restaurant and see a green letter-size card with a big "A" on it, that's
the rating. They're supposed to be prominently displayed regardless of the
rating, but somehow you never see a big yellow(?) "B" or red(?) "C"
anywhere) in the newspaper and several other places... we get it at the
office in the little faxnews critter, which by the way is a wonderful UL
vector in its strange-news snippets, although the headline is usually
phrased in such a way that it indicates skepticism on the part of the
editor.
Look for the "C" ratings. They'll have a hand-painted sign. And you're
supposed to crumble up the Wonderbread and toss bits to the roaches, I'm
pretty sure.

As it was used in medieval times, it is used now. It is for sopping up the
grease and is eaten with the meat. You use paper towels to wipe off your
hands, or your blue jeans.

Pretentious BBQ joints have a vertical wooden pole in the middle of the
table 'pon which to impale the paper towel roll. Real joints just let
the roll wallow around on the table or floor(and its always generic or
at best "Coronet").
Barbecue is best served on butcher paper and the best of it needs no
sauce at all, however raw onions and dill pickles go well. Old timers
prefer an addition to the classic beef brisket, the "Hot Link", used to
create the famed East Texas version of a hot dog, the "Rollup", a hot
link rolled in a slice of WonderBread or equiv.
Only certain beverages may be served in haute cuising BBQ joints.
Sweetened tea is obligatory, but Dr. Pepper, RC, Big Red, a decent root
beer and at least one orange soda pop, all in bottles, will keep more
effete snobs happy.
Shiner Bock, brewed as a grease cutter to drink with smoked sausage is
acceptable for those whose palates are tuned for a drier beverage.
No utensils, not even plastic, are provided at better BBQ joints, but
its alright to use a boot or belt knife to split the last piece of light

thing. Shiner Bock is the only beer to drink with barbecue. I don't
think Big Red is available outside of Texas (which is probably good,
because I think it's foul). I do not see any discussion here on the
potato salad/cole slaw/bar-b-q beans v. rice/ranch style beans front. I
for one think it is sacrelige to serve anything but tater salad and
baked/bar-b-q beans with barbecue. San Antonians would beg to differ.

It is sold north of the red river, and it is foul. It is also the exact

If you're not getting greens (with spicy vinegar dressing) and black eye
peas, you're not getting barbeque. If you can breath and eat the hot
barbeque sauce at the same time, you're not eating hot barbeque. And
what's with this white bread thing. Everyone knows that you get
*corn*bread with barbeque.

You forgot the sides often (but not always) found therewith: "baked beans"
(usu. with enough brisket scraps and spices to make what lesser
establishments would call chili, and altogether unlike what folks Back East
think of as either "baked beans" *or* "chili"). Cole slaw, similarly

Bottles? Must be a regional thing... up yar, it's invariably a big glass-
fronted cooler full of cans of Carbonated Misc., generally located
somewhere in the dining area, self-serve, on your honor. (I suspect that
it's a fire code thing, since I have witnessed an incident at Pit wherein a
customer made a dive for the cooler and slammed an entire can of whatever
was closest to hand without taking a breath. Willie didn't have a set
recipe for his sauces, and some days he got carried away.)
Aside: In an interesting bit of synchronicity, the local paper just ran an
article on the health rating system
(http://www.wichitaeagle.com/news/local/restaurants/trouble1003.htm), which
clarified a few things I wasn't sure of in an earlier post. The letter
cards are pictured, and are in fact red, yellow and green. (Used to was,
the "A" cards had the letter embossed in gold foil. First time I saw a
non-embossed one, I wondered if it was forged.) And it's a city
regulation. And, of course, what gets mentioned on the cover article? A
Chinese restaurant and a barbecue joint.

The guy who's teaching me Social Research Methodology (an MA-level

_Literary Digest_ story the other evening, & asked if anyone could
suggest why they'd got the result wrong. Swot that I am, I gave the

Not with Texas style barbecue, which is the preferred mode in Kansas
(south-central, at least, never mind the fact that KC has its own style of
barbecue). Greens and cornbread and stuff go with chicken fried steak, and
that's a whole different thread (not that this has much to do with kidneys,

you sweet potato pie for dessert, but since I'm always too full to think
about desert when I'm done eating there, I really can't say for certain.
Of course, they also put sauce on their barbecue, but usually not enough to
adulterate it so badly it's inedible. Available sliced (more like what
those in western Kentucky call "pulled," that is just picked off the bone
and broken up into small pieces) or as ribs.

My favorite is "White trash chicken." Open a 12-oz can of beer.
Drink half of it. Pour a spoonful of crab boil into the can, and
stuff in a chopped onion and a few garlic cloves.
Stand the can in the middle of a baking pan. Stick a chicken on the
can, so that the open end is in the chicken's body cavity. The chicken
now sort of looks like it is standing on the baking pan. Bake at 350
degrees (F) for about an hour, if I remember correctly.
Delicious. And totally bizzarre to serve.
Speaking of Jello and Coca-Cola, try making cherry Jello with
Coca-cola substituted for half the water.

In Ohio? Whodathunkit?
In the name of research, I went to Fat Daddy and the Old Woman BBQ, best
joint in town (since Pit and Jet are closed, at least, and maybe even
then), and confirmed it. No dessert, unless you want to special-order a
smoked pie. Or unless you count the rolls of breathmints and whatnot by
the cash register.
(Probably do a brisk bidness in those, being as how the best thing on the
menu is the secret-recipe German garlic sausage which, smoked and on garlic
toast with plenty of hot sauce, would take at least a full roll of Wint-O-
Green to overcome.)

Kansas City barbecue is different from Texas barbecue, and the latter is
what we mostly have around here. Apparently.

Down in NW Arkansas last month, I visited a little barbecue place. (Uncle
Jay's, on 71B in Bentonville. They rent their extra parking spaces to Wal-
Mart employees, being caddy-corner from World HQ.) They got points for
playing good blues on the outdoor speakers, but lost them when it wasn't
playing inside. Of course, it was the first Razorbacks home game, so it
gets excused as a regional oddity (at least no one yelled "WOO BIG SOOEY"
while I was there).
At any rate, it was new and none of us had been there before, so Mom asked
what kind of "pork" that was on the menu... was it pulled? No, the kid
behind the counter said, it was sliced. It was, as you have described,
pulled, much to our amusement. Dialectical variations, apparently.

Nah, "dialectical variation" is more like "push *and* pull". (Right,
Phil?) It's materially different from "dialectal variation".

Bah, sailors are fun people! Really we are! We can't help it if we get a

The opposition between push and pull is at once preserved and annulled
by the transcendence of both terms, that's what I say.

All these swarmy bogtrotting ijits discussing salad dressing and
puddin'... Barbecue may be accompanied by beans (in case of a meat
shortage), but aside from the obligatory light bread, pickles and
onions, all else are but cosmetic remedies for bad barbecue. If I want
banana puddin', a noble dish, I'll fix up a gallon or so, and have it.
As for rice puddin', "Spotted Dog" is best reserved as windup for more
delicate entrees. Corn Bread? Corn bread with barbecue is like unto
biscuits with chile, a heretical and schismatic offense against good
order and polite society. Now, I do subscribe to an occasional gut
buster, the notable "grease cutter" lunch, cornbread (white cornmeal,
unaddled by sugar), a bowl of homemade chili (un-degreased), and a quart
of buttermilk, although I'm not a "crumbler", one who breaks up the
cornbread into the buttermilk.
I am no Aggie, although my grandaddy was ('98[1898 that is]), along with
my youngest daughter ('95), and I codonored Governor Ross's desk to
Aggieland, but was reared among the fleshpots and barbecue joints of the
"Great Brisket and Sausage Trail", the Tscherman-Czech belt which
extends from Penelope, Abbott and West Station down 77, the Drovers'
Route, by Heidenheimer, Taylor, Elgin, Columbus, Halletsville,
Schulenberg, around Shiner and on up to Fbourg, and do break bread (to
wipe the grease off my chin) in College Station now and again.

An inquisition would be in order.

I've heard of this practice, but have not seen it. I suspect that it
happens further East than TX/OK. If you did such a thing around here, you'd
incur an old-fashioned Oklahoma tail-whuppin' for wastin' cornbread.

Salad has no place with barbecue, but what, no cole slaw? Gotta have
the cole slaw. And a different kind of cole slaw for each kind of
meat.

Don't take it out on me ifn' y'all ain't got no soul-food barbeque down
those parts.

Just watch your ass, Ollie. First of all, it ain't just buttermilk but
any milk, capice? Second, it is nature's most perfect food, particularly
since the microwave now makes it possible to always use hot cornbread with
ice cold milk.
The fact that most of the world does not know of this god-food does not
make it less marvelous. Brian Yeoh would faint if it were properly
presented.

No, no, no, villify me not...
Crumbling cornbead in sweet milk is something else, permitted in the
best of homes, especially if prebuttered and accompanied with sorghum or
cane syrup (or homemade guava jelly in Centra Florida's few remaining
rural farm villages)...

I thought you were supposed to crumble cornbread into ham'n'beans.
And Brian *has* been strangely silent during this thread.

From what I've heard, he wouldn't fit in. Not even close.
