Frank, I've been eating pickled pig feet since I was a kid. Do you remember Otto's Butcher Shop on Passons Blvd in Pico Rivera? It was at the old Hickory Hop Center, near Ernie's barbershop. They had a barrel full of pickled pig feet and another with huge dill pickles. Maybe it's just my memory playing tricks on me but those were the best pickled pig feet I have ever had.kikibalt wrote:Okay, but would you eat a pickled pork feet????...How about the rest of you guys????.....Rick Farris wrote:C'Mon Frank.

Rick, Amy Adams is my favorite of the current young actresses. She has a very special quality about her that reminds me of the actresses of the past eras. I loved her in "the Fighter".Rick Farris wrote:The Fighter's Amy Adams will play Lois Lane in the next Superman feature.
My daughter Meranda met her last year and had nothing but good things to say about her. She was gracious enough to take this photo with my granddaughters Maddie and Mariah.

Randy, can't say I knew otto's Butcher Shop. I just lived in Pico two years. Move to Pico in '52 from Simons, I got married in '54 and moved back to Montebello. Never went to school in Pico, in '52 when we moved to Pico I was in high school, but I kept going to Montebello High School.Randyman wrote:Frank, I've been eating pickled pig feet since I was a kid.

Randy, that's a very cool picture.
She is a three-time Academy Award nominee, and the mother of a baby daughter, herself
I was hoping she would win an award for her role in "The Fighter".
She is also my favorite young actress, surpassing Kirsten Dunst at the moment..
By the way, the new Superman flick will not only feature Amy Adams as Lois Lane, but Henry Cavill as Clark/Superman, and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane playing his parents.
It will film in Canada this summer.
Canada?

Sam Webb defends his British light-middleweight title against Prince Arron at the Medway Park Leisure Centre in Gillingham on May 13, promoted by Frank Maloney.
Webb is desperate to win a Lonsdale Belt outright since raising it aloft with an upset and bloody 12-round decision over flashy Londoner Anthony Small last March in Dagenham. The popular Kent battler retained with a sharp 11-round knockout of Leicester's gutsy Martin Concepcion in October and now for the useful Arron, a tall Lancashire stylist who earned his shot with a surprise triumph in Prizefighter last year to take home a cheque for £32,000 and his record to 20-3-1 (3).
Arron was stopped in two rounds by that man Small back in 2006 but he was only 18 at the time and only 19 when Ireland's John Duddy stopped him in two rounds in Dublin, since when he has gone unbeaten in 11 outings, including decisions over Bradley Pryce and George Hillyard. Now 23, Arron towers over most of his opponents and certainly knows how to box and his counters could bust up the cut-prone Webb, but the clever, aggressive champion works hard and on his own Kent soil looks likely to grind out a decision.

Yes I can take a joke.I can laugh at myself easily too. In todays world of stresses and hardships-many people have lost their sense of humor or being able to be criticized without taking a big exception to it. Political correctness has taken over as a priority and many are offended at a simple off-color joke about ones ethnic grouping. Personally, you take it from where it comes from and I let it roll off my back as I usually give as good as I take. I try not to be offensive as to the nature of family as that might be too personal, but humor is and should be a bigger part of our lives.kikibalt wrote:Btw Charlie, Connie said she can take a joke, if you can take one....
If you dish it, you gotta take it. There are many I meet who cant.
Thank You all for clarifying the Marmite Cookies and Menudo availibilty. As I said in an earlier post, the Mexican Rest. I went to,the chef said he would make it for me but he needed a day or two to acquire the ingredients. That means that he needed to get them at a "local" market by him probably,and not too much available in "lily white" Wantagh here.(pronounced Want-tau, many towns here are named after Indian tribes & tribal chiefs that were here long before us white folk) .LOL
I have seen tripe and hominy in my local stores though. If chickens feet ever appeared in our stores here, half the homes would go up for sale.

Thanks for the Superman posts Rick. It sounds like they are going back once again to the original beginnings of the "Superman" story for the film(as compared to taking up a new adventure against a foe and Superman already existed).
I thought Marlon Brando was good as his Kryptonite dad,maybe another could have been cast better, but I like Brando. If there was an actor who ever beat to his own drum-no pun intended- it was Brando, or maybe that was the personnae that he wanted us to know.
Its tough to tell with these Hollywood actors.
Nicholson is another guy I like. It seems to me he is a whole lot different off camera than on camera. Sounds like a real down to earth guy.
To me -one of Hollywoods last true legends.
These kids today have no personality-Cruise,Cage,Cusack even Travolta seems bland.
Charlie Sheen-now theres a guy who knows how to ramp up self-promotion. If he was only half as nuts as he portrays himself now.Watch how many movies he gets out of this act he doing.

Flump, thanks for posting this. I used to love reading Boxing News. Subscribed to it for years, but after Harry Mullan passed away it just never seemed the same under Claude Abrams. Perhaps the same editorial policies and such didn't jive with him. I gave it a year under Claude and let it lapse. I always loved the way BN writers would break a fight down and boldly make a prediction on a fight's outcome. This was great on Lopez-Stracey. Do you have a collection dating back?Flump wrote:As this now legendary thread started with Ernie Indian Red Lopez I though you might be interested in some articles that appeared in the British Boxing News just before the John H Stracey fight in London in 1974. Keep going guys, it's been an education, inside and outside the ropes.

Bennie, do you remember Ron Olver's column, "The Professionals"? It was one of the first articles I would hit when my BN came in the post. I didn't agree with everything Ron would write but man, he could write a very vivid story on a fighter's rise to a possible shot at a British title.bennie wrote:I was only chatting to Simon Euan-Smith the other day.
