Paul; I assume there was a considerable brass section in the camp band then?

Different musical, Jack.

Not many North Americans, other than Paul Rouffa of course, know that a dedicated core ofΒ  this camp band later developed into the Odoriferous Zephyr Flatulationary Revue. This band enjoyed a measure of success in Europe as the result of their "Wurstwind Tour" of 1967 before disbanding after running out of gas creatively in 1970.

This thread reminds me of a game we'd play in elementary school. A rather detailed but whispered story was told to the first child, who would then re-tell it to the second kid, and so on down the line. 30 kids later... that same story was now unrecognizable. πŸ™„ 😯 Β 

I think it was called the baloneyΒ  game. 😏 πŸ˜€Β

@chris Suffice to say that all discussions of importance tend to generate passionate comment. This thread of baloney or bologna (however you slice it) provides the reader with a valuable understanding and ultimate appreciation for this practical andΒ  historical delicacy and its many forms of presentation, including accompanying condiments and *exotic recipes.Β  Readers have benefitted from learning of its importance as an economical summer camp staple both in its traditional form and as a puree and how the physical effect of its ingestion resulted in the formation and evolution of a successful band of camp musicians.Β  We were reminded of the importance of selecting **quality condiments to further enhance the rich, original bologna flavor.Β  The importance of cracker accompaniment was wisely suggested, from our very own Forumite member and qualified cracker historian.Β  Admittedly the momentary thread diversion into discussions pertaining to ***Gold Belly membership qualification which morphed into required girth and pirate consideration, with a brief look at pirate retirement emotional issues, was perhaps not exactly baloney specific in nature.Β  The same could be said for Dromedary Delight soup special served in cafes only on Hump Day and The League of Decency, featuring Paladin.Β  However, in summation, with all of these points considered the reader can easily appreciate the relationship and linkage that each..........um.......hang on......where was this all going?Β  Anyways, this is the wurst discussion we have had.

Police investigation revealed that vandals had smeared French Bison Dip on the tracks, which caused Engineer K.C. Jones to lose control.Β  Jones was on probation for a recent round house crash; however the subject puree is not suspect in that incident.

Tony and John have done some wonderful things with baloney here.

Tried baloney for the first time yesterday. It must be a childhood memory good times thing, for it sure can't compete for me with a good steak sandwich. Still I tried.

Back in my Boy Scout days, I do remember our scout leader insisting that a baloney sandwich coated with peanut butter on one side and strawberry jam on the other, with a light coating of mayo instead of butter, was the ultimate sandwich. I declined it at the time.

@jack-dodds I must you tell.... my son (a Ph.D. ) and I occasionally square off to see who can be the most pedantic.Β  Speaking parenthetically, I'm glad you're not involved! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
