I know grits!!!!!!! All kinds of grits even fried grits. Never tried frozen grits thought.?????
Yes as a third generation (?) Native Floridian I know grits.
Mission Dutch Underway!
Good call Sir. It just seemed more user friendly to me because I'm very confused over the 'wits' thing. I got a 'D' on the 'wits' question on my final exam at the undisclosed"Can't Tell You or I'll Have to Kill You" training camp (blush)
'
Chief of Wild Bird Operations Wren do you think that perhaps the 'keeping your wits' part of the regulations should actually be 'keeping your grits'? It certainly makes more sense to keep the grits as rations.
One can have both wits and grits simultaneously. It is also possible to eat one without losing the other, provided it is done in the proper order. A Southern lady is also expected to have grit (singular) but should never, ever show it publicly.
Cmr Moxon, the worry was more due to the CL class than the aforementioned class of food. CCO purports to be the only nut who enjoys CL...
It is also possible to share wit, but not wits; share grits, but preferably not grit...
Btw, it seems a little messy and un-military to have either wits or grits strewn about one's person (sniff!) Maybe we need to collect our wits AND our grits...
Huh cousin nut???? Might I suggest 'chocolate'. I can keep my 'chocolate' about me very easily.
Well Not sure that wits or grits are in same class. Thought some brains act more like a bowl of grits.
Both may be enjoyed scrambled?!
My brain acts like a Where's Waldo puzzle. Had anyone actually found Waldo I wonder? Sorry sirs I have bamboozled us astray. I have received a report from my double agent who reports that all life forms are poultry and not aliens but refuse to disclose colouration. She feels that fluffering might be used as a way to force them to disclose however leaves that to the discretion of the Commander.
Commander is unsure whether to prepare a bowl of grits, gather her wits, or do some fluffering.
Ninja Dahlianut - did you do remedial training after getting that D grade? Keeping chocolate about one's person makes it liable to melt. This can be a very messy and distressing result. Caution is recommended. Don't give any chocolate to Northern Pacific crew members - they will waste it in a mutinous food fight. They are a cantankerous and curmudgeonly lot.
I have heard about the curmudgeonly attitude sir. I find it usually occurs with a chocolate deficiency. I am usually lurking under feathers and leaves in cool nights sir in my operations so my chocolate won't melt. I didn't have to do remedial training sir. They passed me with flying colours because they were impressed that I was 'Waldo' orientated but identified that there really is no Waldo and the whole thing is an alien plot. 'Wits' became irrelevant. They liked my gumption sir. 'Scary with gumption' is what they put in my file Sir.

Very good Ninja Dahlianut. We like "Scary with gumption" here in the chicken troops. Proceed with your operations. You are clearly dedicated to the cause.
Wait, Gumption -that's Creole right?! And fleece w/ footies keeps chocolate in?
How are the lifeforms -oatmeal preferable to both wits and grits there...
Not with chocolate--we are very circumspect with regard to chocolate.
Hmmm. Been making hot mint chocolate coffee, maybe I should add brandy and whipped creammmmmmmmm..........
Me too! I love hot mint chocolate coffee!
Life forms fine. Black one somewhat quiet despite pippage. Slight concern.
Remaining black tailed buff also pipped but quiet.
Patience is a difficult virtue when it comes to life forms. I will go eat some peee-cans, generously sent to me by our very own Captain Jordan. She rocks!
I brewed up a batch of Grand Marnier in my cauldron a while back for the solstice celebration. Anyone in?
The solstice isn't until December 21....isn't it? I want to be in the solstice celebration!
Yupper 18 days til spring when the sun comes back from hanging with the upside down people and there is great feasting and dances of joy. I'm so pumped ^_^
Oh you Pagans, you!
I thought spring came at the end of twelfth month and not tenth?!
(pblphbhlphphlllbhbhtt!!)
Let's have a Winter Solstice Thread! Let's bake things and have a silly celebration! I'm all over that!
Mother bird reporting FINALLY.. Somewhat cross eyed trying to catch up on the goins on..
Count me in on the silly celebration.. will report to anything silly.. I'm silly.. I'm just silly! Or is that Chilly? OR Chile? That sounds good.
Oh sorry..
Reporting transfer modules content and holding temp and RH preparing for Saturday Lauch.. Mission.
Mission control.. we have a problem.
Does anyone have a copy?
Transfer from Lodi Base to SB was a success... BUT.. Was awaiting arrival of 28 modules, received 30 modules.. Suspect infiltration of hidden Cuckoo Marans disguised as penedesenca cross..
Unexplained addition of foreign modules has the crew worried..
Awaiting orders..

Numerical dyslexia (dyscalculia*) is among the more common disorders reported by the staff at NPGC.
So I have either 3 chickens or 300......
*Dyscalculia is a neurological condition characterized by a problem with learning fundamentals and one or more of the basic numerical skills. Often people with this condition can understand very complex mathematical concepts and principles but have difficulty processing formulas and even basic addition and subtraction. (Wikipedia)

Operation Crusty Slice is now ready.
Y'all can keep the grits, I'd rather have collards, and so would alien life forms.
Woah, Mother Bird, infiltration of foreign life forms very dangerous. Suggest very strong containment field. Catscan is disguising it as dyscalculia, but she is very shifty, and not to be trusted on these matters. Why, she is probably the very reason for the illegality of purple transponder sponges in Iowa.
I think it is very likely you have some emu eggs mixed in there. She is known to be fond of unusual foreign birds.
Operation crusty slice? Why have I not been informed about this operation? What is going on?!
operation crusty slice explained in sewincircle post#5855292 above
Oh okay Catscan... That explains it. Anyway.. 28 or 30 Who's counting? You're right.. 28 or 82 it will all work out somehow.
No Emu eggs.. there were some big brown ones though.. I always suspect Cuckoo Marans with Commander Catscan.
Not to worry.. I will use the purple transponder sponges to send them back to her.

I think they are emu eggs that she shrank with a teal transponder sponge.
Oh no!! Not the teal transponder, it can't be?
They are using the cloaking device..
Oh My Gosh Harmony! How did you FIND that! Too funny!!! I think we all need one! Chicken purses indeed.
AHEM. "Gumption" is cajun for "grit." "Grits" are southern for "polenta." "Polenta" is a term people who think they have "wit" use when they have their jaws set for a "mess o' grits." You don't "mess" with John Wayne and he was famous for his "grit." This is exactly why Ninja Dahlianut is convinced she can figure out which life form is the double agent. Luckily, no one will be held accountable, since our Ninja prepared a promising cauldron. I believe if we avail ourselves of the cauldron contents at the solstice/yule we can figure all of this out and perhaps turn the alien life forms to our way of thinking.
Or threaten to name them all "Yul" and they will be so afraid of being bald they'll come over to our side anyway.
No, I have not been availing myself of those mushrooms. Why do you ask?
Claire I found it and brought it here. I love it and want to get one for myself BTW it would go perfect with the chicken hat.
Merry Christmas!
Oh my! love the bag!!!!!! And yes Harmony it would be a perfect match!
I bought a llama bag yesterday on etsy. I will photograph it when it arrives.
Brigidlily. I had to read your post about 5 times to get the whole gist. I am so glad you are on our side, because if you were a double agent, it would be dreadful. You have a remarkable sense of logic.
Update on hatch - the black module did not make it. The black tailed buff appears to be OK but somewhat weak. We will see. The already hatched life forms are well, and fast, and full of pep.
Llama bag i can't wait to see that.
Major Williams reporting late to the hatching activities as I had to transport Senior Kendrick (my dad) to the emergency sick bay with a seperated shoulder. Your seniors (parents) can get really grouchy when in pain.
Commander Moxon glad to see your hatch was successful desite one black module not making it. I am wondering if any of you crazy chicken people ever put up your hatching madules for the winter. I am having hatching envy as the Panther Creek Outpost has retired it's hatching module til Early Spring.
Major Williams over................
Sorry to hear about black module...
BLily, WHOM do you accuse????Hmmmm????
