Sorry, but can't help you with the eggs since I don't know what they are,
but I would like to point out that this is a text newsgroup, NOT binary.

Pictures should not be posted here. I assume you were not aware, but
please don't do it again.

To make pictures available, there are a number of free internet sites
where one can post pictures, and then simply post the URL to your
picture here.

Well, sounds like you are a real A-hole, knowing this is not a picture
NG but posting them anyway.

Adios MF

"It was an accident" was your other option.

You've been around here long enough to know that we here in AFB
revived the alt.binaries.food group and many of us have accidentally
posted pictures here in AFB instead of ABF by mistake. It's only been
done about 20+ times. Nobody has ever lectured anybody about it like
that, though.

And you've been here long enough to know that *I* know this a BBQ
group and marinated eggs would be pretty off-topic thread for this
newsgroup. Use your cabeza, Bob.

Maybe you're just getting senile. I sure as hell didn't deserve a
pompous lecture on proper posting habits, Mr. Kevin Wilson. You don't
police all the spam and other OT posts, so why did you feel the need
to speak out this time?

Everybody else could figure out it was a mistake so I didn't see any
reason to followup and further clog up the group with a "Opps. Wrong
Group" post.

And FWIW, one of my "arch-enemies" even pointed it out to me rather
gently in that other group and I appreciated it kindly.

Those god-damned ****ing Texans. They need to drop one of those
implosion bombs over that whole state and start over.

ObBBQ: Smoked sausage for lunch today. I actually felt I wanted some
of that Hillshire Farms Cheddar-worst today (that I got for $1/pound).
It sounded better than it was.
