I think it's about time for a new edition of the Hate Mailbag.

[CottonBear]

It's been since last November that we've had fresh hate mail. The administrators' witty responses are priceless. ;)
I'm really jonesing for a brand new 2006 edition of the Hate Mailbag. :evilgrin:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

1. Yes, that was hysterically funny! n/t

[CottonBear]

8. We'll both look forward to a new edition! n/t

[bliss_eternal]

2. Weren't those funny?

...really cracked me up. I thought some of us were exaggerating some rw responses until I saw those. :hi:

[CottonBear]

4. The RW responses are crazy.

:hi: The Hate Mailbag archives are especially hilarious. :hi:

[Lost-in-FL]

3. Now that you mention that...

those letters were the reason I signed to DU.

[CottonBear]

6. LOL!

Did you stumble upon the hate mailbag by accident? When I found Du, I didn't know there were forums. I just found the front page and the articles, mailbag and top 10 list. It took me while to figure everything out.

[Richard Steele]

5. I always love those as well!

It's been too long, I'm jonesin' for a new one.

[CottonBear]

7. Maybe our wishes will be granted soon! n/t

[EFerrari]

9. Oh, me too! I love Hate!

:hi:

[CottonBear]

10. LOL! You're so funny!

:rofl: :hi:

[Kurovski]

11. I eat their hate like a bowl of wheaties.

It sustains as well as entertains.

Do you think it's possible they've stopped hating us? Maybe there's not enough hate left?

I'm with you. CottonBear...we need a new edition of hatemail.

[EFerrari]

12. I'll go out for milk.

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

13. Make mine soy!

Thanks! :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I'll make the toast!

[Kurovski]

15. A most fitting addition to the repast.

:D

[EFerrari]

16. I can't believe she did that.

I'm so hungry now and so out of cookings.

:)

[Kurovski]

17. Time for late night carry-out/ delivery?

Shrimp toast would be damn nice right about now.

[EFerrari]

18. It looks like peanut butter and crackers here unless I print out the post

lol

The DU late night food challenge.

:)

[Kurovski]

20. Don't do that! Printer ink is even more toxic than

America's water supply.

[CottonBear]

21. Shrimp toast?

:eyes:

[Kurovski]

26. Yes, delicious Shrimp Toast.

INGREDIENTS:

10 - 12 slices bread (day old or crusty bread is best)
3/4 pound medium shrimp
4 water chestnuts, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 tomato, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine, dry sherry, or white rice vinegar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 cups oil for deep-frying, or as needed
1/3 cup warm water
PREPARATION:

Cut each slice of bread into 4 equal squares. Set aside.

Shell and devein the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp under warm running water. Pat dry with paper towels and finely chop.

Combine the chopped shrimp with the water chestnuts, green onion, grated ginger, tomato, rice wine, lightly beaten egg, salt and pepper and the cornstarch.

Heat the oil for deep-frying to between 370 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

While waiting for the oil to heat, prepare the bread. Dip the bread squares quickly in the warm water and remove. Squeeze out any excess water. Spread 1 - 2 teaspoons of the shrimp mixture onto each bread square.

When the oil is hot, carefully slide the toast squares into the hot oil. (Deep-fry in small batches so that the temperature of the oil does not drop too much). Fry each side until browned (about 1 minute on each side). Remove from the wok with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

[CottonBear]

28. Wow! That's quite a recipe. Thanks. n/t

[Kurovski]

33. Try some at a good Chinese restaurant, it's incredible!

Seriously, a recipe is not enough to impart the delight.

It's an appetizer, so it wouldn't be to great a risk to try. :hi:

[CottonBear]

36. I'll have to find a local Chinese restaurant that'll prepare shrimp toast.

I must try shrimp toast ASAP! :hi:

[Mr_Spock]

19. Mmmm, hate

Doh!! :evilgrin:

[Earth_First]

22. Personally, I think there should be a lottery for "Guest Respondent"

I'd love to take a tasteful whack at responding to some Hate Mail!

[CottonBear]

23. That's a great idea. Maybe Skinner will make you a "Guest Respondent!"

We have many witty and articulate DUers who would probably like to take a tasteful whack at responding as well.
:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

24. I agree. I miss Seth.

I'll pass this suggestion on!

[CottonBear]

25. Thank you Midlodemocrat!

We'll be waiting anxiously for new hate mail! ;)

29. That's a really big hell.

So what, the only people in heaven are RW bible-thumpers?

Screw that, give me hell. :evilgrin:

[CottonBear]

30. Shriners? Only one atheist? How will they choose which one will burn?

LOL! :rofl: I love that website link: Fundies Say the Darndest Things! :) Thanks!

[dogday]

31. I scored an 11 on that list of names on the sign above

What the hell does that make me? What's your score?

[CottonBear]

32. I scored an eight. I suppose I'll see you in hell! n/t

[dogday]

35. Looks like I might get there before ya

I live a life of sin according to those people....

[onager]

39. Atheists only came in 25th!

I'm damned insulted, I tell ya!

[CottonBear]

41. The sign lists only one atheist. Apparently, the others are safe. n/t

[xultar]

40. Should your facial pubes be on the sign....check out that guys beard!

43. Those protesters must not be referencing the New Testament Jesus.

:scared:

[Kurovski]

44. Will DU hear our many cries, our fervent pleas ,

our hungry need for entertainment at the expense of Freeptwerps?

We are wandering in the wilderness, lo, these many months! We beseech thee and seek surcease to our too patient sorrows.

[Richard Steele]

45. Keepin' this kicked for HATE! (Mailbag, that is........)
