I'm running to the Piggly Wiggly....what do you need?

[Maddy McCall]

We're supposed to get some really bad weather down here in South Mississippi tonight. I'm going to go pick up some Reeses and popcorn, for the hunker-down period. (Merh, make yourself safe!)

Anyone need anything from the Pig?

[Maineiac]

1. You can't have a good hunker down night without

Single Malt scotch, Maytag blue cheese, and some ginger snaps to put the cheese on. Oh, and Cheese Wiz in a spray can. If things really go to hell, you can write "HELP" on yor roof in spray cheese so that in a year or so when FEMA gets around to looking for survivors, they'll find you.

[Maddy McCall]

8. The Pig has ginger snaps and cheese wiz, but no scotch or blue cheese.

LMAO at "HELP". :rofl:

[taterguy]

2. I need the senseless war to stop

See what you can do about that while you're at the Pig

[Maddy McCall]

9. I'll talk to the meat market manager.

I hear he's got connections.

:)

[ohiosmith]

3. Pork rinds, orange Nehi and some Moon Pies.

Thanks

[Maddy McCall]

10. That is COMPLETELY doable at the Pig.

Indeed, they're running a special...buy one get one free...on pork rinds.

Do you want me to get one plain, one barbecue?

:P

[ohiosmith]

15. Both plain please. Oh yeah! Also some bleu cheese dressing and Tabasco sauce for dipping.

Thanks
:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

17. I can get the Tabasco....no problem...

but the Pig carries like three kinds of dressing. Ranch, Italian, and Thousand Island.

Any preference there? :D

[ohiosmith]

22. Cheez Whiz?

[xchrom]

4. a bag boy with big muscles.

[Maddy McCall]

11. The bagboy there....

spits in the parking lot while taking your groceries to the car. (YES, they STILL do that at the Pig. :-) )

Is the spitting thing a problem??

:silly:

[xchrom]

28. i'll just temporarily open up ''xchroms' finishing school''.

[Maddy McCall]

29. LOL!

:D

[trof]

5. GOO GOO CLUSTERS!

Please?

[Maddy McCall]

12. I am certain that they have Goo Goo Clusters.

Do you need somethin' to wash 'em down?

:hi:

[trof]

42. Already have that, thanks.

I'd wave back, but I gave up smilies for Lent.

[TheMightyFavog]

6. Could I get some margarine, please?

I forgot to pick some up on my run for Spring break groceries.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Country Crock ok?

Store brand is cheaper. Let me see how much money I have left after buying trof's Goo Goo Clusters.

:hi:

[TheMightyFavog]

21. Sure.

I just need stuff to spread on before I put the peanut butter on the bread.

[Maddy McCall]

27. I can get you some free peanut butter.

The Pig has a bunch in a dumpster. Funny--all the jars have 2111 on the lid. :shrug: But it's FREE!

:D

[grannylib]

7. Chocolate, cheesecake, chips and salsa, Diet Dew, some wine,

and lots of stuff like cheese and good crackers and summer sausage...finger food. Veggies and dip. Fruit. And chocolate.

[Maddy McCall]

16. I'll take the pick-up so that I can bring you your stuff...

LOL.

No wine at the Pig. Sorry. :(

[grannylib]

20. Hell, hook up the trailer and I'll come with and we'll stock up the whole dang

neighborhood *lol*
NO WINE??? Well, hell, that's no good. You don't live in a dry county, I hope?

[Maddy McCall]

23. No, not a dry county.

ONe of the oddities of where I live is that grocery stores can't carry wine. You can only get wine and liquor at package stores.

Grocery stores sell beer. But no wine. I don't know why that is. :shrug:

Also, no beer sold before noon on Sunday.

[grannylib]

50. That's kind of like it is here in Minnesota; the grocery stores can sell

3.2 beer and wine COOLERS but that's all. The rest of the alcohol is in liquor stores or on/off sale places. And on Sunday all you can get is the 3.2 and the wine coolers, and not before noon. It's pretty silly.

[Maddy McCall]

53. EXACTLY the same here.

However, we're really close to the Louisiana State Line, so alls ya have to do is drive about ten miles, and you can get whatever you want whenever you want it.

And a lottery ticket to boot.

:)

[grannylib]

66. *lol* I think I have to go down to Iowa (about 35 miles) to get anything other

than that stuff on a Sunday; they sell just about everything in the grocery stores, and I think they have Sunday sales...it's been a while since I spent a weekend in Iowa, hee hee!

[Maddy McCall]

71. That's where all the Southern Baptists go here.

They don't want to be seen buying their booze in a local package store, so they all go across the state line. I often wonder if the deacons bump into each other while choosing their Jack Black and Gallo. :D

[grannylib]

84. *lol* My dad was a Lutheran minister for over 50 years, and he often went to

the old State-owned liquor store in town to buy Mogen David for Communion wine, and then he'd buy some vodka and some sherry and some rum and some wine and some vermouth and some whiskey and some gin and some bitters and some more vodka and sometimes some creme de menthe and some creme de cacao and some Galliano and some Tia Maria and he'd stock the bar at home like you wouldn't BELIEVE...
I still can't stand Mogen David *lol* Gives me a headache.

[Maddy McCall]

89. Hahaha!

That is funny, Granny. :rofl:

So communion was a good excuse to stock up the liquor cabinet. :D

[grannylib]

99. It was for Pop anyway!! Not sure about the rest of the clergy in my little town

although I know most of them enjoyed at least a cocktail now and again...and a couple of Daddy's best buddies, both Catholic priests and golf partners, could really knock back the liquid sustenance and tell TALES, man those two were a hoot. They used to come for dinner and then they'd all sit around and drink and smoke and play cards and tell clergy stories and it was a riot.

[KamaAina]

70. Just how close to the La. line?

Close enough that they'd have a Zat's mix (almost any kind would do) and some andouille?

And -- and this is key -- does the beer selection cover Abita? (I know of no MS-brewed beer, so it'd actually be the local product.)

That and a bag of Zapp's chips (not the really really hot kind) ought to about cover it. You can tell which side of the line I used to be on -- am still on, in a way -- huh?

Believe it or not, it's rather crappy out here, too, though the green blobs on radar seem to be moving over toward Maui. Time to hunker down!

[Maddy McCall]

78. Honey, I can get you all of that here.

I can be in Louisiana in ten minutes.

The local Pig, though, carries all of your requests:

The Pig has Zats mix (we had dirty rice for lunch).
And andouille (which I'll be buying when I make jambalaya this weekend).
Abita beer is on the shelves. And Dixie, too. :D
Did you say Crawtaters? Yep, they got Zapps, too. :9

Take care, KamaAina! Go hunker down and take care. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

13. Some plastic bags...

and some spray paint, gold please...

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

19. What are your plans, Mister??

I'm not sure that I can condone this list. You'll have to let me see your ID first.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

36. Eh, Just Messin' With Ya!

just get me some chips and salsa and I'll be good!

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

39. I'll buy you the chips...

and I'll make you the salsa. I make the best salsa in the whol wide wurl.

:D

[SPKrazy]

44. I LURVE Salsa!

I mean chips are really just a vehicle for getting salsa in my mouth!

:9

[Maddy McCall]

54. Yes--just the crunch factor.

I might make some salsa tonight...thanks for the reminder.

:D

[SPKrazy]

57. Yummo!

I'll just swing down from Arkansas for sum Salsa!

:D

[Maddy McCall]

68. I've always got a couch fer ya.

And a big' ol' homemade quilt.

I'll even fix some chicken and dumplins and hot-water cornbread in anticipation of your arrival.

:bounce:

:D

[SPKrazy]

87. Boy, That Sounds Tempting!

:D

thanks

:hi:

[Critters2]

18. Chocolate soy milk. I completely love chocolate soy milk, and am constantly running out

I'd be grateful!!

[Maddy McCall]

30. I can get you some powdered milk and nesquik.

The pig doesn't carry soy milk. They have goats milk, though.

:(

[texas1928]

24. Get me some pimento cheese and some Club crackers.

:D

[Maddy McCall]

31. My kinda guy!

I'm adding that to my list, too!

:hi:

[texas1928]

60. I wonder if northerners know what pimento cheese is?

[Maddy McCall]

62. If they don't....

they're missin' out.

Boiled peanuts. Tomato sandwiches. Gah, we have the best food down here. :D

[texas1928]

64. Yep.

Peanuts in your Coke. Californians looked at me funny.

[leftofthedial]

25. toilet paper

half and half

some ho-ho's

turnip greens

and a bag of charcoal

[Maddy McCall]

34. Toilet paper - check.

half and half - check

turnip greens - fresh or frozen?

charcoal - check

ho-ho's - I don't know. Phyllis the cashier might put up a fight.

:shrug:

[leftofthedial]

46. fresh turnip greens

if they've got them

attached to a turnip would even be better

that way, you could smack Phyllis upside the noggin with the turnip if she gives you any crap over the ho-ho's

[Maddy McCall]

49. LOL!

Good choice. I like that plan.

:rofl: :rofl:

[guitar man]

26. Can you bring back some beer?

or are you in one of those dry counties down there? :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

35. Oh I can get you beer...

as long as it ain't any of that foreign stuff. Like Guiness, which is completely un-American. :P

Peebers ok?

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

32. BUY BREAD AND MILK! ALL THAT YOU CAN CARRY!!

That's what they tell you to buy before hurricanes and snowstorms. :shrug:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

37. I know! Crazy, isn't it...

because when the power goes out, the milk spoils.

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

95. I know. I mean, why not HoHos and Cokes?

Or Hot Pockets and Yoohoo? (remember Yoohoo?)

BUY BREAD AND MILK! It's the end of the world!

Watch out for the thunders. :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

96. They have YooHoos at the Pig.

I think I'll pick up some for MMjr.

Thanks for the good wishes. I think we'll be OK...it's still really calm here.

:hi:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

33. A three liter of Root Beer, and a poster of Poison.

I'll pay you right back.

[Maddy McCall]

38. You don't have to pay me. I'm spending Aunt Bessie's food stamps.

Root Beer on the way. :D

[Maddy McCall]

41. Oh, yeah...

they don't have a poster of Poison, but there's a photograph of the Piggly Wiggly Pig in a santa suit with Miss Mississippi sitting on his porcine knee. Would that be ok?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

73. Question...

are you sure that's not really a picture of Poison?

[Maddy McCall]

75. I'll double check when I get there.

You know, now that you mention it, the Pig Santa does kinda resemble CC Deville.

:rofl:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

76. yah...

And Brett Michaels was Miss Mississippi in '87 and '91.

[Maddy McCall]

80. LOL

I think that he was de-tiara'd for a BJ in the backstage bathroom, though.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

91. Which is ironic...

considering he scored high marks for the BJ competition portion of the pageants.

[Maddy McCall]

93. C C pick up that guitar and make it talk to me.

:D

[Taverner]

40. Two pigglies and one wiggly

What in the name of Valhalla is Piggly Wiggly?

[Maddy McCall]

45. It's a grocery chain in the south. Independently owned stores...

with a REAL meat market in each.

Want your whole chicken split in half for the grill? They do it...no problem!

And they still carry your groceries to the car on one of those little upright buggy things.

I love the Piggly Wiggly.

:hi:

[Taverner]

48. Ahhhh. We don't have those here in Kahleefohnia

We do, however, have Trader Joes. Food from all over the world at discount prices.

Dunno if you do out there...

[Maddy McCall]

51. No. We have no Trader Joes and no Whole Foods.

We're about ten years behind the curve. I'll keep my fingers crossed that there'll soon be on somewhere within 100 miles of me.

[u4ic]

43. I'll let you know

when I stop laughing...it cracks me up to think there's a store called the Piggly Wiggly. :rofl:


:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

47. I went to Virginia last November....this is what's REALLY funny...

They have quick stops called "WaWa" there.

:rofl:

The Pig is the bestest grocery store in the world. If you ever come to Mississippi, I'll take you shopping. :D

:hi:

[u4ic]

77. There's a town called Wawa

in Northern Ontario that I've passed through many times. A huge Canada Goose statue greets you just before you get to town, on the Trans Canada Highway.



If I'm ever down there Maddy, I'll take you up on it. I wanna go shopping at the Piggly Wiggly! :bounce:


Could you buy me some bananas (organic if possible) and a Cadbury's Easter Creme egg? Much obliged! :-)

[Maddy McCall]

82. No problem.

The bananas might be a little green, though. Cadbury Eggs, I'm already stocked up on. I'll share. :D

A goose statue would last about two days in Mississippi. It'd be destroyed by the rednecks with shotguns. :D

[u4ic]

97. Lol

I hope none are thick enough to try and cook it! :P


Green bananas are a-ok with me. Don't like them too ripe. And thanks for the eggs! I'm craving them far too much...


May I say, you have a fine menu lined up. :toast: Here's hoping the weather isn't too bad, after all. :pals:

[merh]

56. Now don't make fun of the Pig

I wish we still had one down here, it's a fine place to grocery shop.

[Maddy McCall]

61. They sell those tee shirts at our Pig.

I oughta buy me one. :D

My dad calls the Pig the "Hoggly Woggly." :D

[merh]

69. Well if you ever go to a meet up in DC or at some other place.

outside of MS, you need to be sure to have a pig shirt.

Your dad sounds alot like my dad, Biloxi was ixolib and Gulfport was tropflug. When we would vacation, the long car trips, he'd ask the gas station folks "How far is it to tropflug?" they'd look at his as if he were peculiar and he'd say "that city right next to ixolib."

We used to hide when he carried on that way, I'd give anything to here that routine again.

Safe travels to the Pig and stay safe during the weather - send out energies that no super cells accompany this one.

:hug:

[Maddy McCall]

74. Were our fathers brothers in a past life?

That is so wild...sounds just like my dad's foolishness. When I was a kid, it embarassed me. As an adult, I cherish it.

Yes, let's keep our fingers crossed that we don't get terrible weather. :hug:

[u4ic]

79. I'm sure it is, merh!

I just can't get over the name. :D :hi:

[merh]

100. If you like, we can get you a t-shirt!

It's good to see ya :hi:

[u4ic]

101. That would be cool!

:bounce:

It's good to see you, too, merh! :hug: How are you? How's your sweet little canine doing? :)

[merh]

104. Well, if I find myself in Maddy's neck of the woods one day

I'll get you one of the t-shirts.

I'm hanging in there, getting ready to go get some sleep before the weather gets nasty. I'm hoping the worst of it skirts us.

Winston is at my feet, full belly and sleeping soundly. He is so much better, a few days hooked up to an IV pumping fluids and antibiotics into him, plus a bland diet and more antibiotics when he came home have him back to the spoiled healthy furry brat I know and love.

All of my pups are a little upset with me, they are now on better diets and treats are not as quickly dispensed as they would like, but I try to tell them it's for their own good.

Thanks for asking. :hi:

I hope life is good for you and yours. :hug:

[merh]

52. I would like some -- I don't know what I want

just bring back a surprise.

I'll hunker down, if the weather comes this way. You be sure to do the same. My luck will be it hits at 3:00 a.m. and that makes for a horrid sleep.

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

55. You need to check...

the NOAA website for your zipcode at www.nws.noaa.gov.

I bet y'all are under the same flash flood/severe weather watch that we are.

Ok...I'll bring you a surprise, and I'll bring Winston a big bone from the meat market.

:hi:

[merh]

59. You have to be fair, his sisters will kick his ass

unless you bring them a bone back.

I'll just go home, watch tv and rock along - hopefully it will skirt us like the last one.

[Maddy McCall]

63. I'll bring her a big ol' hamhock.

:D

[texas1928]

58. Well while your at it. We need some supplies for the party.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6305308

[Maddy McCall]

65. LMAO!

I'll bring the pickled eggs and polish sausages.

Then, after we're drunk and full, we can light each others' farts!

:rofl:

[texas1928]

67. Well if you bring pickled eggs.

OH LORD! I can clear a room with those.

[Maddy McCall]

83. Then I'll bring the grill lighter instead of the Bic.

:rofl:

[texas1928]

86. Yeah who needs ass hair.

I mean really.

[Maddy McCall]

90. Or pants.

:D

[texas1928]

98. Well that comes later.

:D

[YDogg]

72. Ham.

Thinly sliced.

[Maddy McCall]

85. I'll pick up the ham...

Would you like some generic olive loaf too?

:hi:

[YDogg]

88. Bacon would be fine, too.

[Deja Q]

81. A pig and a wig...

Steal the wig and a pig will follow! :wow: :spray:

:yoiks:


(Did I get the '70s euphemism correctly? :rofl: )

[Maddy McCall]

92. While I'm clubbing Phyllis with the turnips to get away with the Ho Hos...

I'll grab her wig. Does ruby red hair do anything for you?

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

94. Alright, grabbing my keys and heading out the door.

If you need anything tonight, I'm sorry.

But I'll be going back tomorrow, so leave your list and I'll pick it up tomorrow.

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

102. Eggs. My daughter wanted eggs for supper, but we were out!

I can't remember ever letting the supply of eggs in the house dwindle to nothing.

[Maddy McCall]

103. I know that the Pig has eggs...

but they don't have any of those free-range type...they have brown eggs, though. I'll pick you up a dozen tomorrow.

:hi:
