Spotted Dick! …and 999 other ways to enjoy it!

Posted by – 11/30/06

We had Christmas early for part of my family. My brother and sister-in-law are fixin’ to have a baby, so we all harrumphed down to Memphis for a Thanksmas holiday. Gifts were exchanged, as one would imagine. Then there was this:

Spotted Dick

Great laughter ensued, as one would imagine. It was horse-laughter really. I mean, what if you pulled Spotted Dick right out of a nicely wrapped Christmas package? The moisture content of my pants will never be the same. Then we all began exchanging ‘fun ways to use Spotted Dick’, and I’m pretty sure it’s the most vile conversation my family has ever been involved in. Join in, it’ll be fun!

 

 

 

Go see a doctor about it!

 

Get some salve!

Must be named after some factory worker… Richard the Leper!?

Well, here’s something I never expected to see.

Knoxville Politician/Cookie Peddler

State Senator Tim Burchett, from Knoxville, held some thieves at gunpoint while on hold with 911. That’s what I love about Knoxville, it’s really like Mayberry sometimes. The best line from this article?

While holding them at gunpoint, Burchett gave cookies to the would-be thieves because they were hungry.

There’s more actual info in this article here, which mentions another Knoxville politician–Knox County Commissioner “Lumpy” Lambert–who protected himself with a handgun during the same week! Gotta love it, kids.
