Have you ever made brouhaha?

[milestogo]

Could you share your recipe?

[marble falls]

1. You bet. Find a group of RW conspiracy nutbags and stir vigorously, leave them to stew ...

... in their own juices.

[grumpyduck]

2. Start off with a heavy helping of

truth.

[ret5hd]

3. Take one C&W bar...

Add one young and dumb long-hair kid
Add alcohol to taste, then double it
Add one young woman sitting alone
Stir till well mixed
Add one boyfriend of young woman who was just gone to the restroom

Makes one weeks worth of brouhaha

4. You have to kill and clean a haha before you brew it.

Longer they cook the bigger the brouhaha.

5. Crockpot ok?

[LakeArenal]

6. Low temp, simmer until boils over. Voila... brouhaha

7. No, but I have been accused of raising a shirtstorm,

pitching a fit, starting a donnybrook, inciting a riot, and pushing people's buttons. All true except for the riot part. That was someone else.

12. Long sleeves or short?

Were you collared? Cuffed?

[Redleg]

14. Long sleeves from Oct through March

Short sleeves thereafter. Collared shirts at work and in public, never buttoned down. No cuffs on trousers but front pleats on some and plain front on others. Sweatpants and t-shirts at home.

I have been cuffed a few times but never collared. I have been wedgied but never pantsed. I have been in love but never romanced. I made up that last line because it rhymed with the one before.

[Harker]

15. Well, that explains everything.

I've harbored a shirt fixation since I first read "The Great Gatsby." He was reported to have had a closet full of shirts that could make one cry.

Incidentally, I've been pantsed, but never forcibly.

8. Unfortunately, yes, on multiple occasions.

The first serious occasion I was "asked" to take a time out from college and I got an "F" in that class. That brouhaha started when a teaching assistant threw a piece of chalk at me after I spoke my mind. I was a bit miffed because I knew I was right. An overhead projector was broken and the campus police were called. As an undergraduate I didn't yet understand how badly life as a teaching assistant sucks.

They let me back into school but I had to promise to be nice to teaching assistants.

A few years later, when I was getting everything in order to graduate, a dean told me "I think you should apply for graduate school, Hunter. But not here."

9. Only after the door knocker fell off

Start at 6:30:

[milestogo]

10. ...

[csziggy]

11. I almost said door buzzard but that's not in the script

[FSogol]

13. Alcohol helps.
