August '11 Elimination

That’s a great logo, eh?

It’s not really related to the goober-pea siggy though. When I read the stories, I happened to be working my way through a big ole bag of boiled peanuts and then I got to the story set during the American Civil War and the old folk song favored by Confederate soldiers, Eating Goober Peas, popped into my head, so I changed my siggy as a sort of head-nod to whoever wrote that fine story.

The logo is from an Australian company that specializes in Italian coffee: Lucaffe…e vivi la vita. It’s a great logo. And their espresso is out of this world. I got turned on to it in a little pizza joint in Santiago de Chile – Los Insaciables, which is in Providencia neighborhood. They’ve got posters of happy-coffee-man, in various situations, plastered all over their restaurant. I think I go there more for the coffee than the pizza. And I think you’re right, I doubt an American company could get away with that logo.

I love boiled peanuts and I'll have to look up that expresso. Yes, Americans are getting very sensitive about everything nowadays, well, down in my parts anyway.

Its sad that we're gonna have to wait so long for the next one. So let's milk this one for all it's worth.

Well, since I'm a slow reader, I can wait for the next contest; but this group of stories was one of the best I've seen so far.

I remember singing the song "Eating goober Peas"-or a version of it, anyway- in elementary school.

And I dearly love s'mores.

AND it was hard to decide who to vote for in this contest. They were all great stories.

Loved those goobers; but generally, I like my chocolate and cookies seperate. I do like reese cups..
